Crock Pot Paleo Beef Curry
So today is my hubby’s birthday. Happy Birthday Benny Boy! What do you give the man who has everything? Ha! That man is a Saint and is deserving of whatever he wants (but shhh don’t tell him that, I don’t want to give him a bigger head than he already has)....

Crock Pot Paleo Beef Curry
So today is my hubby’s birthday. Happy Birthday Benny Boy! What do you give the man who has everything? Ha! That man is a Saint and is deserving of whatever he wants (but shhh don’t tell him that, I don’t want to give him a bigger head than he already has). Come on, let’s be honest, he puts up with me on a daily basis and [rarely] complains about it. I tell a lot of people this, but we are both very lucky. We got married stupid young, so young we barely knew not only what marriage really was (because then again, who...

So as many of you all know from Facebook and Instagram, last week I hosted a “Stache or Sash?” Gender Reveal Party for Baby #3. FYI, there are no fancy recipes in this blog post, just pictures recapping our wonderful day. There has never been any doubt that for every pregnancy I have had, I HAVE TO KNOW THE SEX. I hate surprises. I have a Type A personality and so, I NEED TO PLAN. This time around, since the boys were a little bigger (4 and 2 1/2 years old) and definitely understand there is a baby growing in Mommy’s...

“Enjoy the little things in life, for some day you will realize they are the big things.” I don’t want to get all philosophical on you all but lately I am feeling more overwhelmed than usual and this quote just stopped me in my tracks. I already have too much $h!t going on a daily basis with work, CrossFit, blogging, military graduate school, family, keeping the house somewhat clean, and the list goes on and on. But the moment something gets added to my plate, I BREAK! I SCREAM! I GET IN THE FETAL POSITION AND CRY! Ahhh! And this week, I...
read morePaleo Butter Pecan Caramel Smoothie
I know I always start my posts with some random topic before I ever get to the recipe, but honestly this smoothie is THAT good that I can’t beat around the bush and get carried away with small talk. I personally think this smoothie tastes like a butter pecan ice cream milkshake, NO LIE. Or how about everyone’s fave Girl Scout cookies, Somoas, which recently for some crazy, God- forsaken reason changed it’s name to “Caramel deLites”? Either way, I MUST GET DOWN TO BUSINESS and share this recipe with you...

read moreOur Mother’s Day DIY Kid’s Craft
Like the majority of you, I can spend hours upon hours pinning cute ideas to do on Pinterest but then after a while I feel like all I have are more pins and great ideas and fewer actual projects that I actually did. Who is with me? Well this year, I wanted to do something cute and homemade for Mother’s Day and I knew Pinterest was the place to go for some inspiration. The DIY project that I decided on took me about 15 minutes and was so worth it. I loved how it turned out, that of course I made myself one in addition to the boys two...

So on April 1st I started my first 21 Day Sugar Detox (21DSD), and that is no April’s Fool joke. Don’t know what I am talking about? Never heard of the the 21 Day Sugar Detox? Check it out here. Well renowned nutritionist, Diane Sanfilippo, created this detox to help us get in check with our bodies where we, basically, show our bodies whose boss. The detox is a natural way we can help our bodies break free from those carb and sugar cravings that effect our bodies and brains on a daily basis. Benefits to the detox are...
read moreYummy Paleo Migas that make you shout Ole!
So am I the only one who did not know what Migas were until she moved to Texas???? Come to think of it, there was a lot of things that this Jersey girl had to quickly get spun up on that I didn’t know until I moved to the amazing Republic State of Texas. 1. My fave culture shock (of course the majority of which deal with food) is the fact that on the east coast when you get invited to someone’s house for a BBQ, you expect to be served hamburgers and hotdogs. Here in TX, the host would be insulted if all he could offer...

So before I go on and on about this yummy new meat sauce, I can’t wait to tell you all that the hubs and I are going on a date night tonight (T-8 hours) to see the one and only, Jon Bon Jovi. I have been playing “Blaze of Glory” and “Livin on a Prayer” on repeat on my play list in preparation for this amazing night. When I found out Jon was playing here in Austin and I knew I had to go. For those of you who do not know, I am a Jersey Girl, born and raised, and Jon is like Jesus to us in Dirty Jers! I love...
