To snack or not to snack, that may be the problem. Healthy snacking improves overall health, curbs cravings, fights weight gain, regulates mood, boosts brain power and gives you the energy you need to keep going all day. Many snacks provide calories, saturated fat, sugar or salt and are low in important nutrients. If you prefer to eat “small and often”, remember that the “small” is usually more important than the “often”. A healthy snack generally has about 60-100 calories – about what you’d get from a piece of fruit, a slice of raisin bread or 1/2 cup of low-fat yogurt. If you’re anything…
Having chicken is always a favorite in our house. My kids eat chicken like it’s going out of style, so I always try to come up with fun ways to change it up, no one likes the same thing every night. One of my favorite things to do is rolling chicken in cracker crumbs. So when RITZ bacon flavored became I thing, I knew I had to try some oven baked bacon ranch chicken. It works with any kind of crackers – any flavors. I’m a lover of anything bacon, when it’s cooking – it legit smells like bacon in…
You are either a Starbucks junkie or you’re not. There’s no in between. I’ve just spend hours pinning all these awesome products and here’s the top 5 must have Starbucks lover gifts, I hope you enjoy them as much as me. Honestly I used to hate coffee, then I grew up and became a coffee addict. I love getting my Starbucks fix, I ain’t even going to lie. My favorite drink is iced caramel macchiato currently.

It’s too early for this. Why am I still awake? Well, told be told, I rarely sleep. My body just got used to not sleeping til about 7 in the morning-ish. I know it’s horrible, don’t remind me. Well, I’m sitting here on Twitter, Twitter is where I go when I am bored. I forgot what post I first saw, but I saw a #ThingsThatDidntBreakMe trending. With a little bit of clicking here and there, I found the first post about it. Yay! I thought to myself, this could be fun. I like to join in on these trending hashtags…
There’s two types of people in this world, people who are quiet in the car while the music plays or people who roll down the windows and sing their heart out. If you’re not singing your heart out and making up dance moves to the songs, that’s not the kind of negatively I need in my life, haha! It doesn’t matter if you have a good singing voice or not, sing your little heart out. Though my playlist has like over 3,000 songs, I’m going to give you 50 songs you should add to your road trip playlist below…
Never be sorry for your regrets! Our regrets, our struggles, our mistakes… without them we wouldn’t be the people we are today, we wouldn’t be where we are in life currently. Whether it’s a good or bad thing. You should never regret your life. But on the other hand, not believing in yourself and not trusting yourself in decisions more can be fixed. Imagine writing yourself an apology for the things you regret or wish you could have done differently. If you have something you would like to apologize to yourself for. I was looking back on my Facebook memories yesterday…
The other day, Tyler said the month of February should be #FabulousFebruary. Meaning we should support and encourage each other. Seems simple enough right? I bet you’re all.. “Natalie another raw life update post, really?” Yep. Because, posting at least one every month is pretty good therapy. I want to be able to look over these one day and be blown away from the things I actually went through.
What I love most about ‘The Plans I Have For You’ journal and ‘The Plans I Have For You’90 day devotional is the fact you can show your children that God has a plan for you, no matter how hard life may seem now, he has a plan for you. I am almost 30 and I still struggle with this, lol. My kids have been through a lot, my oldest, Hailey has been through a lot for someone who is almost 12 years old. But I reminder her daily that she is loved and that God is always there for you.
