I have asked many of you what you find to be the most challenging part of meal planning, and many of you said you get stuck in a rut eating the same things. I hope that my weekly meal plan inspires you to get creative and think outside the box when cooking for your family!

Here is a little bit of an overview on how I meal prep for the week:

Breakfasts: I tend to eat the same type of thing for breakfast. I usually make a batch of something with several servings for Sean and I have for breakfast...

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.” Proverbs 3:5-8

Staying in solid, firm faith isn't always easy. James describes the battle in verse 1:8, "You can't make up your mind! You waver back and forth!" The ping-pong between doubt and faith is something humans...

Happy Friday Friends! Does it finally feel like summer has begun where you live!? Here in Michigan we have had nothing but rain for weeks, so this past week of sunshine has made it feel like it was finally summer time!

Summer to me means grilling outdoors, ice cream, sunshine, and taking the kids to my sister Sarah's pool for some much needed sister/cousin time every now and then; And this week was filled with all of the above

Also this week we celebrated my and my girlfriends and I birthday's...

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have received as a gift from God, and that you are not your own property? You were bought with a price you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own. So then, honor and glorify God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Imagine with me for a moment that you’ve just purchased something of great value. The treasure caught your eye and you had to have it. You were so...

Several years ago, I made the decision to stop listening to secular music on the radio while I was driving in the car and to listen to only Christian music instead.

Over the last few years, I transitioned from...

Maddie's second year passed by in what seemed to be a moment's time, (someone please tell me it eventually gets slower)!? From full body smiles, learning to run, twirl, and eventually hop, to finding out she had a "no" in her, and exploring her intense determination to climb anything she could find...the year went by in a flash!

Like most momma's on their children's birthdays, I had host of emotions that came with my little girl getting another year older. Birthdays make you realize that time...

One question I get asked often is for tips how to maintain healthy eating habits while traveling. For many, there is the worry that being outside of a routine or not having access to their go-to foods will derail them. Another concern many express is how to find balance between enjoying food-related experiences that arise with traveling to places with unique culinary opportunities and not going overboard. It is one thing to pass up something you can get any time, but it can be hard to feel...
