Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

I see a better relationship coming

Last night was a big deal for me. I cooked with my step mom. She's a major foodie, but not necessarily healthy. She wants to start eating better so I headed over there and we cooked up a healthy but definitely hearty meal! I went there having no idea what we were making so I … [Read more...] about I see a better relationship coming

Will Spring ever come?

Is this even possible? Tell me how we got 6 inches of snow on April 12. Crazy! I guess I got one good thing out of it though- Snow Day! I shoveled so we could leave the house. Then we headed to town and did a little grocery shopping and went out for lunch. We went to Stone's (again) and this … [Read more...] about Will Spring ever come?

WIAW {nothing special}

Whew, halfway already?! Time goes by crazy fast when you're busy! When I went to the therapist he told me to eat less carbs, more protein. I haven't totally done that, but I am trying a little. I'm attemping to make 1 of my meals a day low carb. Breakfast Oh, why don't I make green smoothies … [Read more...] about WIAW {nothing special}

Family is Key

This week's MIMM is gonna be all about family- especially since it's Grandma's birthday!   I really am crazy blessed. Even though my parents are divorced, they still have a marvelous relationship which is awesome for me.   My step mom. We don't have the best relationship but I … [Read more...] about Family is Key

Back to reality and Enchiladas!

It's my last day of break... booo! It's gonna be hard to go back. Only 8 weeks left. Then I'll be free! It's gonna start to get busy again- softball and track, plus basketball open gyms. At least it's getting warmer! I am just so sick of this nastiness. But April showers bring May flowers, … [Read more...] about Back to reality and Enchiladas!

Not enough time in the day

I am so behind on posting! I've just been enjoying spring break and relaxing. It's hard to get back into the swing of things! Yesterday was super busy. Before heading to town I had a delicious breakfast of oatmeal, bananas, almonds, and honey. It is making me like oatmeal more and more! We did … [Read more...] about Not enough time in the day

Not your typical spring break

Instead of going somewhere sunny and warm for spring break, my mom and I went to a bed and breakfast then dog sledding! It was really impromptu but we had a great time! Neither of us had ever been to a b&b so we weren't sure what to expect. Tom and Caroll were so nice and had great hospitality! … [Read more...] about Not your typical spring break

Foodie Pen Pals Reveal Day!

This month I (finally) participated in Foodie Pen Pals! What is it? Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean started it as a way to discover new foods and show your faves! I was sent an awesome package from Jamie at That Mommy Blog. Black chickpeas. She looked on my Pinterest and saw I had some … [Read more...] about Foodie Pen Pals Reveal Day!

Mom’s Pecan Rolls

I hope everyone had a great Easter! Mine was spent with family, family, and more family. I'm not much for Easter dinners, so I made sure to eat lots of pecan rolls for breakfast! These are my mom's special recipe and SO GOOD. Super easy too! Ingredients 1 package Pillsbury crescent … [Read more...] about Mom’s Pecan Rolls

Moving Uphill

I don't know if any of you know, but I am depressed. Like really bad. I've finally told my mom and confided a little bit. My dad came over and we told him too. We're going to get help. I'm gonna start talking to someone. I think I'm starting to get better. Just telling them made me feel good, like … [Read more...] about Moving Uphill

Sweet Potato Banana Bites

Have you ever been over to The Lean Green Bean? Go right now. Lindsay has so many awesome recipes and I just really like how she's got her blog! I decided to steal her recipe for Sweet Potato Banana Bites. I've seen them a few times, and since I have an abundance of taters and an overripe … [Read more...] about Sweet Potato Banana Bites
