Smoky Beef Stew is a cold-weather favorite at our house because it is hearty, warm, filling, and has beef in it, which is a must if you are feeding a hungry farmer like my husband! Plus, beef is one of the most nutrient-dense food choices around–full of b vitamins, iron, protein, and zinc, to name a few, all while being relatively low-calorie.
Even better, it all goes together in one big pan, meaning only one dirty dish (if you use the method of parchment paper on a baking sheet in the oven to cook the bacon). Recipes at my house have to meet certain rules–simple, kid-approved, and healthy. This dish meets all of those criteria!

As a lot of you know, three weeks after having baby #2, we moved. Not only did we move, but we moved in with my in-laws until our house was renovated. So, new baby, a move, I had quit my job ...

New Year, New Adventure.
I have a different idea for 2016. Hear me out. After seeing all the “new year, new you” posts, some personal development reading, and kind of a rough morning, I decided that I don’t want a “new me.” I want a BETTER me. 2016 is going to be another new adventure, because I have decided to CHOOSE to notice GOODNESS. That will be my word.
I woke up crabby, mad at the dirty dishes in the sink (the reason I always stay up late doing them). I felt ...

“Some days you feel like you’re killing it (as a parent) and some days your kids are eating chapstick.”
PERFECT quote from a fellow 4th Trimester Bodies Project mom!! (If you haven’t heard of it, check out here).
It also pertains to life in general I think. Maybe it’s because I was a part of a project, a movement, SO much bigger than myself a couple of weeks ago or maybe it’s ...
