Hey, friends! I know you just found a whole bunch of summer inspo over at Hello Central Avenue! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Now, grab some coffee and let’s hang. Since we’re officially friends, I’ve got to…

Faster Way to Fat Loss- The End of the First Round

Six weeks ago, I started a program called Faster Way to Fat Loss. The gist of it is you eat real food. You count macros using My Fitness Pal (a free app). You eat more food than any other diet/food program you’ve ever been on. And you…

My Health Goals for 2019 and Faster Way to Fat Loss

2012 was a game changer year. That was the summer I did a Bible study on Proverbs 31 and became utterly convicted on the food I was feeing my family. We changed our diet and began eating real food, organic when we could. I was a Whole Foods shopping mama…

Moving the Dining Room into the Main Entry

I’m calling this blog series (which I’ve been pretty awful at actually writing) The Big Switcheroo. You can read the first part, the why, here. Basically, we decided to move around three of our main living areas: living room, dining room, and study so that our…

Our Date Night In Box Review

Have I mentioned how much I love my Date Night In monthly subscription box? We partner with Date Night In and I get the box for free, but I would pay for this service in a heartbeat. My husband and I look forward to our Date Night In and I…
