Happy 2017

Hey!  Happy New Year!!  I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a safe and enjoyable time ringing in 2017!
Our time was spent away from home but with family for Christmas.  We had a busy but wonderful time during the holidays!  The kids seemed to really enjoy time with their cousins they hadn't seen in a while and we got to enjoy time with each other.
As a family we all must have decided that we would wear some shard of blue or green on Christmas Day!


My family all seem to know me well and I got a lot of new workout tanks, pants and shirts for Christmas!!  I love them all!!  This one that my husband found fits me perfectly!   What were some of your favorite Christmas presents this year?  I love giving the gift of health - and my momma decided to pass that along to my sisters as well!  I'm so excited for all of them to be joining me this month in our health bet!


 As fun as it is to receive and give gifts during the holidays, I always make sure we keep Christ at the center.  We have our nativity up in the house and are looking to get something for outside like this one for next year.  I want our kids to know that Christmas is not all about getting gifts, but it is about the best gift we have ever been given.  What are some ways you keep the reason for the season?

Anyway, when cold hits, I want as much warm food as I can get - chili, soups, stews, roasts.  Anything I can make in the crockpot is amazing!  We came back from Christmas with a lot of meat - our freezer is full!  And now we need to use it up making as many delicious foods as we can with our, straight from the butcher, meat!   If you didn't know, AJ is a hunter - but he really only hunts deer.  This year his dad got some ground venison and mixed it with pork.  Wow!! It is really good!  I am not a big fan of venison in general, but this combo turned out really yummy!  So we decided to make some chili with it and it was amazing!  According to AJ it was ...

Cookie dough balls

I saw this picture of what looked like cookie dough on my friends facebook page - she said she made it with Shakeology!  It absolutely looked amazing in the bowl, just like cookie dough.  And then she rolled it into balls for a quick snack - or in my kids case, BREAKFAST 😊 I modified her recipe a little bit and according to my husband I need to modify it a little bit more.  I thought they were good and the kids scarfed them down.  I guess if you don't like coconut at all, then you need to modify it as well - I'll tell you how I intend to but I can't promise anything at this point! Making these with Shakeology allows you to get 70+ amazing ingredients including superfoods, vitamins, protein, pre/probiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes....you know all that good for you stuff that most of us don't get on a daily basis and probably don't even know what it all is!  The way Shakeology is made though, the nutrients get delivered to you as a whole food (dri...
