Comfy. Simple. Stylish. The three words that come to mind when I think of Reebok Skyscape shoes. I have to admit I wear shoes everyday in the house which makes it easy for running outside, doing errands and chasing a toddler. Usually I have a pair of neon Reebok CrossFits on and my friends tend to make fun of me when I show to lunch in them, but hey they’re comfortable. When my new Skyscapes arrived I knew they were going to be my go to daily shoe for many reasons! First off who doesn’t love new shoes and second…

People always wonder what I do all day and now the secret is out…I’m having lunch at Wendy’s with my blogging BFF Kyla from Mommy’s Weird! The funny thing is we live 20 minutes apart but have none of the same friends (and we live in a small community) but have a lot in common. I’m thinking we should start a vlog series The Secret Life of Blogging Wives but we might be the only ones who watch, lol. The Secret Life of Blogging Wives – Having Lunch At Wendy’s I’ll be the first to admit it I need to lose…
This is my go-to recipe when we have company over because it will surprise your taste buds and is simple to throw together at the last minute. I always have friends asking for the recipe because they don’t think it is only five ingredients. You can easily keep four out of the five ingredients in your pantry so you can whip this up anytime. I like to use sour cream in this recipe just because it gives it more of a full flavor compared to whipped topping (like Cool Whip). To save a few dollars on this recipe I grab most…

It is hard to believe we’ve almost been home for a week. Who knew there was so much to catch up on after being gone for almost two weeks. I thought cleaning the house, doing the laundry, changing bedding, and having a house sitter would leave us in perfect shape to return to home and easily get back into routine. Let’s just say I was mistaken. After our amazing trip to the Washington Coast – more to come on that soon – we arrived home on a Thursday night around supper time to unload the car make some pizza and…
After spending two weeks away with the kids on Spring Break I realize how fast they’re growing up. I’ve realized that a child is very impressionable and they learn from those around them – the old learn from example came to mind quite a few times. I realized the kids copied what we did whether it was out hiking, making food choices ,or personal hygiene. The habits we teach them now will stick with them for life so I would like to teach them to lead a healthy lifestyle and allow them to make the decisions that best suit them as…
Last week NASCAR was in Fontana and I’m not sure if you were able to watch but we were on vacation with no cable and weren’t in the car with SiriusXM again so we didn’t but the Twitter feed was great! This week the race is at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. I hope these tips for the STP 500 help you out on Sunday’s Sprint Cup Race which will be followed by the truck race as they were delayed due to weather. A Wife’s Guide to NASCAR – Martinsville STP 500 As usual I’ll give you the run down with the…
The snow is melting, the sun is shining and the kids are on Spring Break which also means you might want to start doing some Spring cleaning! I like to start with the small tasks first to feel like I’ve actually accomplished something and then move on to the larger tasks once the momentum gets going. What’s even better is if you can get the whole family involved you’ll be done with your checklist in no time. Make Spring Cleaning Simple A few of the things I like to have on my Spring cleaning list are: wipe down walls clean…
Since we were driving during the NASCAR race last week we listened in on SiriusXM and were able to listen to most of the race. I find it entertaining that you can literally stay up to date with the NASCAR race from almost anywhere, they really are all about the fans! So the Bristol race last week has sparked the question if more tracks like that should be built since the race was pretty amazing, even if there was an accidental caution at the end. This week I’m bringing you all the fun and tips in a wife’s guide to…
When we sat down to plan our Spring Break Vacation we had no idea what we wanted to do or where we wanted to go all we knew was we wanted to try something new. We narrowed our destinations down to a couple of places we had never been before: Texas, Louisiana, San Fransisco, and the Washington coast. After that, we decided to ask the kids for their input, well Cheyenne more than Dustin because does a three-year-old really get the concept of vacation?! Cheyenne decided she would like to go somewhere she can take her dog, Lou Lou,…
I am excited to share this is the third post in my new A Wife’s Guide to NASCAR series and I’m loving it! I am learning along the way which is great because I am getting a little more interested in the race week by week. It is hard to believe how many people watch the race every week and go to the races.

So this morning marked 3 more sleeps until we leave for Moclips, Washington on our family road trip for Spring Break and I came to the realization that I am not prepared. As in not prepared I mean I’ve had a whole week to get organized, wash laundry, pack our hiking gear, plan food and I totally let the ball drop and did nothing. But sticking to my No Excuses theme I’m not dwelling on that am I’m pushing forward! So today is gong to be all about lists and getting organized! 6 Tips to Make your Spring Break Vacation…
Last week’s recipe Protein Peach Smoothie got a lot of great attention and that is what makes me so excited about Nutrition Month and sharing the information on making simple to a healthier life. This week I have a new focus, healthy beverages. Did you know that alcohol can speed up the aging process? I know when I heard that I was shocked, I have to admit I like to enjoy a nice glass of wine or martini every now and then. The aging comes from the fact that there are no nutrients in alcohol, the sugary mix we use with it…
I’m pretty excited to sit down and write the second edition of A Wife’s Guide to NASCAR for the Las Vegas Kobalt Tools 400. Last week’s Phoenix race was a bit more exciting because of the research I had been doing. I guess all I needed was a challenge to get more into the whole NASCAR thing and embrace it instead of fighting it. This week I’m bringing you some wife’s insider tips to the Las Vegas Kobalt Tools 400. The boys are actually at the race this weekend and have Dustin at his first NASCAR experience. They’re all having a blast!…
I have to say I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate a quiet, clean house until I was alone for a couple of days. The boys packed up and headed back to Las Vegas for a week so they could go to the NASCAR events. I was lucky enough to be given the week at home with my daughter who just happens to go to school all day… You can probably see where this is going. I honestly haven’t been at home alone with no responsibilities since we sold our business. I have to say this week has brought me…
