Now that we’ve fully integrated into a 9/80 schedule at work (we work 9 hours a day and get every other friday off), I’ve found even less time to exercise. Ok ok, I wasn’t exercising much even before we made the switch haha. But in my newfound zest for exercise, I’ve started climbing stairs at […]

I’ve been super busy. I just got back from Mammoth so I haven’t had time to post for today. So when I don’t have time to make a proper post, I share a recipe that I have in my recipe log (recipes I want to one day make). This sounds sooo yummy. I’ve always been […]

Wow, ever since I’ve been home I’ve been eating SO MUCH JELLO. It’s true, there’s always room for jello! My sister has 3 kids so she constantly has jello in the fridge. Jello can be a really healthy and tasty treat. It’s made up of mostly water and if you get the sugar free kind […]
