MUSIC MOVES THE HEART I’ve shared my daughter’s love of Ed Sheeran. We went to see him back in November, and in preparation for the concert we listened to all the Ed songs. I’ve also shared my struggle with depression, particularly over the last year an a half, but things really began to come to […]

WINTER VEGGIE SOUP
WINTER VEGGIE SOUP I’ve changed this recipe slightly since the first time it was introduced to me six years ago my first round of the Ultimate Reset. The original recipe calls for green beans, and while I love green beans, I’m southern, and I like them pretty mushy in soups. So for me, I upped […]
LEGAL MURDER
LEGAL MURDER mur·der /ˈmərdər/ noun 1. the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. As I began considering what to write about for this week’s blog, God laid it upon my heart to write about abortion in light of the passing of late term abortions. This isn’t really a subject I feel like […]
WHY I TRAIN
WHY I TRAIN My husband started his SOCP (Special Operations Combative Program) certifications in mid-2017. At the end of his training, he was invited by one of the instructors to have us come out for a women’s self-defense class. That was my first real introduction to self defense and martial arts…personally, that is. Shortly after […]
FAITH IN TRIALS
FAITH IN TRIALS Our Sunday School class is currently going through the Book of James, and this past Sunday we studied faith through trials. God didn’t design trials to hurt us. Far from it! He allows trials in our lives to strengthen us. One trial that has been consistent for over 10 years now is […]
HELPING WOMEN
HELPING WOMEN I’m here to help other women just like me! If you’ve followed me for any length of time you know that I have a passion for fitness and food, but what you might not know is why. I haven’t always worked out. I was a band nerd growing up. In fact, I was […]
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS I’m not a fan of New Years Resolutions, but since it’s the first of the year and everyone will be talking about it, I figured I’d try to take advantage of SEO and hope someone lands on my page.🤪 Why don’t I like resolutions set at the beginning? Well, most people fall […]
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: OUR TRADITIONS I’ve shared before, but I’ll share it again: I love traditions. There’s just something so special about being able to hand something down to the next generation and heartwarming about doing the same things year-after-year. From the time I was born until I left home, we had the same […]
MAKING COFFEE WITHOUT A COFFEE MAKER
So normally I wouldn’t have to share how to make coffee without a coffee maker, but this week my oh-so-helpful three-year-old threw his plate in the sink and smashed my coffee carafe.😱😫 As a mom, coffee is life! I basically drink a whole pot a day. Not something I’m proud of, but hey, it get’s […]
NEW YOU IN THE NEW YEAR
HAPPY (ALMOST) NEW YEAR Can you believe the New Year is almost here? 2018 has flown by. It’s been a year of a lot of downs for me, personally. Finally, with the year coming to a close I feel like I have my head above the water. Depression is an ugly thing, and I battled […]
