Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Florida Department of Citrus. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Flourless Banana and Ground Flaxseed Pancakes
A couple weeks ago I decided, yet again, to watch what I eat in hopes I lose some weight. This decision came after a particularly frustrating trip to Kohl’s to buy some shorts for me. I couldn’t find any that didn’t make my legs look fat. This is something I’ve always struggled with because one:…
A Look Back at 2013 w/Pictures
I don’t know about all of you, but we experienced some great moments and some rough ones in 2013. Those rough moments were hard to deal with, and often left me crying and wondering “How much more can I/we take?” Somehow, though, we made it through all the highs and lows, and here we are….better…
Weight Watchers Beef & Broccoli
I mentioned in a previous post that one of my goals for this year is to lose weight. Not a lot, but enough to make me feel no so self-conscious about my body, and to make it easier to find clothes that fit me correctly. Because I have a large chest but tinier waist, it…
Recipes: Scallop Stuffed Mushrooms

Rotisserie Chicken Chimichangas
One of my favorite Mexican dishes to eat is chicken chimichangas. I have had them several places, including Margaritas, and I’ve wanted to make them on my own ever since. Last night, I finally did. I tweaked the recipe I found on Pinterest a little bit to fit my family’s likes. We definitely like our…

Juggling meals around the busy schedules for a family of six can be quite trying at times. It’s not impossible, though. We are still learning what works best for us but here are a few ideas that we practice to help take the stress out of meal time. The first thing you should do is…
Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I know. I know. Crustless pumpkin pie? Really? Yes, that’s what I mean. My daughter has always preferred the pumpkin pie filling and it turns out, so does my future stepson. His birthday party was several weeks ago and he asked me to make him a crustless pumpkin pie for his birthday. I know it’s…
Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
With a family of six, there is ALWAYS something that needs to be done in our home, like vacuuming, sweeping, dishes, laundry, etc. And as my boyfriend is quick to point out, a woman’s work is never done. How right he is. I get out of bed at 6:15 in the morning and don’t fall…
