Where busy moms live happy, healthy lifestyles.
When it comes to meal prep I always like to include something extra, like extra rice to freeze for later or maybe some prep to help the kids, like this weeks meal prep smoothie bags. You may think, if you have looked at the last two videos I posted, that I eat a lot of …
A friend of mine posted a rather disturbing article on FaceBook about how much sugar is in the Shamrock shake from McDonald’s. All I can say is: Wow! Growing up, I can remember getting it during this time of year and I thought it was awesome. Don’t get me wrong here, my mom was (still …
