Wisdom Wednesday

I can't stress how important this is. I have a few single friends, and watching them waste time on guys who don't appreciate them, and just use them breaks my heart. I am so blessed to be with someone who appreciates me, and values me as a person. I see a lot of girls settling and lowering their standards, for no reason. I feel lucky to be with the person I am with. He appreciates all the...

Banana Pudding Recipe

Hey Guys! Here we go again, with another amazing recipe from my boyfriend. He introduced banana pudding to me, and to be honest, at first I was a bit hesitant. I am not the biggest banana fan, but I decided to give it a try. He got this recipe from his mother, who is an amazing cook and baker. This is amazing, anyone who comes over and tries it falls in love with it. I guarantee that you cant have...

Being a SAHM

Hey Guys! I decided to write another personal post. I have gotten a lot of questions about why I chose to stay at home with my son. I didn't make this decision overnight, nor did I make it on the whim. I spent a lot of time thinking this over, and had a lot of discussions with my boyfriend. When I had gotten pregnant, my boyfriend and I were in good financial position, so money wasn't an issue. I...

Clinique Blended Face Powder

Hey Guys! On my birthday, my dad had gotten me a clinique perfume, along came a gift with purchase. I love gift with purchases, it allows me to try products without buying them, and often gives me full sized seasonal lipsticks. One of the items was the blended face powder. I fell in love instantly! They did advise me that they are phasing out my color, so they recommended Stay Matte Universal Blotting...

Wisdom Wednesday

I can't even tell you how much this quote spoke to me. I am going to start a new thing on my page called wisdom Wednesday. I often see quotes/posts online that speak to me, and I want to share them to all of you.

Tartar Sauce Recipe

Hey Guys! Like most recipes out there, I came across this recipe by chance. I thought we had tartar sauce to put on our tacos, and we didn't. I decided to head over to my favorite website, Pinterest, and find a tartar recipe asap. Thankfully I had all the components in the fridge. This recipe is so easy to do, and the best part, my boyfriend insisted that we never buy tartar sauce from the store...

Balancing Everything

Hey Guys! As Kayden's 2nd birthday is creeping up on me, I must admit, I did think I would have it all figured out by now. As kayden gets older, he becomes more of a handful, and as days go by I am forced to organize my life better.Having balance regardless of how many kids you have, is so important. It ensures you will be at your best, and it keeps you sane. I remember a year ago I tried to do everything...

Favorite Fitness Youtuber

Hey Guys! I'm sure you all watch youtube, and are addicted. One of the many things I love about youtube is how much you can learn from other people, and how you get introduced to people and ideas with a click of the button. I started watching makeup videos on youtube, and learned lots of tips and tricks, and slowly went to other topics. Now my videos consists of mommy videos, vlogs and fitness. One...

Simple Face Wipes

Hey Guys! About a month ago my mom gave me a sample pack of simple face wipes. I had heard about this brand awhile ago, and always wanted to try it. I had tried some face wipes in the past and never fell in love with them. They always irritated my skin, I didn't like the smell and I just didn't feel the need to purchase them long term. In all honesty, I had always heard that baby wipes do the trick....

Fish Tacos

Hey Guys! So Fish tacos was something that was introduced to me recently. My boyfriend isn't the biggest fish person, so this was a great way to incorporate this into our diet. It is such a simple recipe, and the only thing that takes long is frying the fish. We make this meal in about 30 minutes. Ingredients Corn tortillas fish coleslaw lime juice cilantro tartar sauce Steps Take whichever fish...

Arguing in front of kids

Hey Guys! I have heard lots of claims by professionals about whether or not you should argue in front of your kids. I don't know if there is a right answer, but I will let you know what my boyfriend and I have decided to do. I am sure there are times when you disagree with your spouse, and you just cant hold it in, and you cant wait to address the matter. My boyfriend and I will usually hold our...

Fitness on a Budget

Hey Guys! We have all started something in life, and haven't followed through with it. One of the most common goals people break has to do with working out. I will admit, when I started working out, I didn't want to invest any money into it. What was the point? Who knew how long I would be on this health kick for anyways. As time went on, I realized this was something I was going to stick to, so...

My Sunscreen Journey

Hey Guys! With summer here next week, I decided to write about my sunscreen journey, which has been something recent. When I was in high school, I loved tanning, everyday in the summer i would sit outside for at least 30 minutes, and since I tan easily, that was more then enough. It wasn't until I was done university, that I noticed something change. Every evening I would scratch my arms like crazy,...

What I ate Wednesday (06/08/16)

Hey Guys! Welcome back to another what I ate Wednesday. Today, unlike other days, I ate very little, and it was nothing impressive. I have been going through a lot of stress,and a lot of family related things, which is probably contributing to my low-eating. Breakfast (9:00am) For breakfast I ate froot loops, to be honest it was a last minute decision. I didn't eat when I got up today because I...

Meat Pasta Sauce

Hey Guys! When I moved in with my boyfriend, I was blessed that he was able to cook. We had such an odd schedule, that at the beginning he was the one doing all the cooking. I would come home about 30-45 min after him, which meant dinner was made by him. One of his specialties was his pasta sauce. It is meaty, but also has a lot of vegetables which is appealing to everyone. Now we make this together,...

Sleep Regression Frustrations

Hey Guys! So about a month or two ago, we officially completed our 18 month sleep regression. It was the most exhausting and frustrating thing we had gone through with Kayden. It is true what you read online, it is the toughest sleep regression you will go through. Kayden had sleep regressed in the past, around the time he started teething was the first time. I vowed the next time it happens again,...

Fiber One Bars

Hey Guys! I love fiber! it's no secret that I believe you can never have enough, probably because I don't often feel as though I have cleared my system. It wasn't until recently that I have discovered Fiber one bars. I would often go to the grocery store and see them on sale/on display. I was always curious about them but never thought to try it, mostly because I was afraid of wasting my money. One...

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Hair Mask

Hey Guys, with summer just around the corner I need to revisit my hair care routine. I discovered this hair mask  about 3 years ago when I was pregnant with Kayden. I have thick hair to begin with, but add in a pregnancy and my hair was out of control. My hair gets frizzy and damages a lot easier during the summer months. I had heard great things about this product and decided to try it...
