The 5 Cookbooks We Reach For Over & Over
I consider myself a pretty lucky lady because my husband, Blake, loves to cook and therefore does the majority of cooking in our household! I enjoy the meal planning and shopping aspect, but after a long day of work the last thing I want to do is cook an entire meal and then clean up all the dishes…ya feel me?? If it were up to me, I’d probably end up eating cereal or chips & salsa most nights, so I seriously am counting my blessings over here.

I’m kicking this week off with a Fantasy Football draft even with some of my girlfriends and I can’t wait to catch up with them! My husband and his group of friends have had a fantasy football league since college and all the girls used to complain when they would talk about it/spend all day Sunday watching the games. So one of the guys set up a league for us (called A Fantasy League of Their Own haha) and now we’re just as obsessed. Well…probably not,…

Whole30 Final Update
Hi friends! It’s been awhile since I’ve actually finished my most recent round of Whole30, but I wanted to pop on and give an update of how the second half of the program went. If you missed it, you can read my post about what Whole30 is (and why I love it!) here and the first half update here. How I feel I felt so amazing during the last half of the program! Again, this was my fourth time doing it and I think this is the best I had ever felt on the program. I made sure to really take the time to prep full meals which ensured I…
