I am making an exception to our “Wordless Wednesdays.” I have too many recipes to share with you, and I need to honor someone extra close to my heart… Yesterday was my son Austin’s first birthday! I am in awe of our little man each and every day as he is growing up and learning…
Take a gander at what a few girlfriends and I made at a Spice Mix Party we threw last month: I’m not sure if we created the idea of a Spice Mix Party, but it sure was fun! It all started with the realization of two Maximized mommy friends, Rachel and Jess, that pre-made spice…
We are back! Austin and I took about a month off from our normal routine and spent a lovely couple of weeks in Houghton and L’Anse, Michigan. So refreshing to relax and put all our cares away for a little while. And a few of you asked how Austin enjoyed the water…well, he loved Lake…
I’ve been racking my brain for ideas for a great ML Nutrition Plans approved recipe for Father’s Day. Especially this year, as it’s Dave’s first official Father’s Day.
