Kid approved healthy meal!

I'm sure I'm not the only mom who practically has to beg their kids to eat vegetables. When it comes to my 5 year old, it seems almost impossible. He claims he is "allergic" to ALL of them. Well....*drum roll please*... I finally made a kid approved recipe with vegetables in it! He has eaten this before but avoided the zucchini and corn like it was the boogie man himself. I added a little extra cheese and some garlic to this & he actually ate it! He cleared his plate in less than 10 minutes and I didn't hear one peep about dreaded vegetables. This recipe is already in my blog listed as "healthy chili pasta bake". Here is the finished result! 


He loved it! It is good and good for you. I will definitely be making this frequently in my household from now on! 

Until next time, 

Kristen

Haunted

Everybody has a past. Everybody has skeletons in their closet that they try to hide. Maybe because we're embarrassed of who we used to be, or that those skeletons contain a tremendous amount of regret. What is so frustrating, is that we can't take anything that we've done back. There's the saying "you can't start a new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one". I was a huge party girl in highschool. I smoked pot, I drank, I dated alot of wrong guys. I had zero self esteem so I fed off of attention from unhealthy sources. No, I wasn't a slut...but I did definitely dated around and was extremely naïve, which earned me a bad reputation. Today, at 27 years old, I'm a mother of 2..I work an honest job, I pay my bills on time and I am very in love with my boyfriend. I ignore messages in my inbox from anything with a penis, because I respect my relationship. I'm settled. I don't party. I don't so drugs. I rarely miss a day of work and m...

2 huge Goodwill hauls!

Image
I would like to apologize for my brief hiatus from blogging, I have been out of state a lot the past month for family reasons. For the last month I feel like everything has been a blur between running a household, kids, school and family. I've been to Goodwill here and there so I put together a haul to share with you all! I've been having a lot of great finds lately :D So here we go!  Finding 5 pairs of shoes at the same Goodwill that were my taste & size was a pretty lucky feeling, not to mention I scored some major brands. These shoes are all never worn/hardly worn. $4.99 a pair!  These Dressbarn flats are perfect for Fall! I love the deep green color and capped toe detail.  These chestnut brown Mossimo flats with gold studded detail are the cutest! Once again, definitely going to be a Fall essential.  I love Sperry's, however I hate the price of them. I found these hardly worn leopard print ones today and I can't wait to wear them!  I love the vintage/hip...

Falling in love with yourself.

Yes, you read that right. I believe that on the pursuit of self happiness you have to fall in love with yourself. You can't give your heart, soul, mind & body to somebody else if you don't love what is on the inside & what's staring back at you in the mirror. For the longest time, I wanted to be something I wasn't. I'm only 5' feet tall, I have a pear shape(smaller boobs/bigger butt&thigh area), my bottom teeth are crooked, I'm pale, my face is round & overall I consider myself more of an athletic build. I would look at myself in the mirror everyday and wish I had different features. We all see these beauty standards in magazines of women with long, lean legs, long&flowy hair, commercial ready smiles, tiny waists, curves in all the right places  and gorgeous, tan flawless skin. Let me tell you, I wanted to be that so badly. I always thought I might be "more" if I was "prettier". Comparing yourself to someone else is on...
