My first Brandcation was Brandcation Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in October, 2011. I was a very last minute attendee and I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I knew Jen from Life with Levi on an internet-personal level. I knew that Mickey from A Helicopter Mom was going to be there and that I had…

The Power of a Diet Change
Once upon a time, there was a princess who struggled with chronic migraines. Every day as she rose out of bed, she hoped that the day would not bestow upon her another migraine. 3-4 every week was debilitating and it was difficult to be an effective mother as the aura spun wildly in her vision,…
Paleo Meal Planning – Paleo Around the World
I’m doing something a little different this week. I’m not putting together your meal plan in its entirety and providing you with a shopping list (sorry). I started my meal plan and realized that there are SO many delicious ethnic meals from all around the world that we can make in Paleo ways. So…
Paleo Meal Planning – Family Favorites
Welcome to this week’s Paleo Meal Planning! When I was growing up, we had special nights for dinner. Tuesday was Tacos, Thursday was Spaghetti, Saturday was usually pizza, etc… You see how healthy all that is? Anyways, I don’t know if my mom realized she did it, or if it was just a comfortable habit,…
Paleo Meal Planning – K.I.S.S.
This week, we are keeping it simple, stupid. Your meals don’t always have to be fancy concoctions for them to be nutritious, full of flavor, and delicious. Some of these aren’t even “recipes”. They’re simply roasted meats with vegetables as sides. Before we went Paleo, a “simple” dinner included chicken breasts and a can of…
Kid Friendly CrossFit…Where ARE YOU?
One of the first things people ask me when I tell them that we are a Paleo family is: “Do you do CrossFit?” To which I reply: “No, jerkwad, there’s no such thing as a CrossFit gym with child care.” btw: I LOVE that CrossFit – spelled just like that – is in the WordPress Dictionary. At…
Working Out, Re-finding My Motivation – Mamavation Monday
It’s been a really long time since I did any Paleo before & during pictures, and you’re not really going to get any in this post either. It’s not because I’ve gained weight, or fallen completely off of the grain-free wagon, it’s just because there haven’t been any positive changes in my body. I was…
The War on Peeps
I have a confession. Those flipping Easter Peeps started chirping my name as soon as the sun broke through the night sky on Easter morning. I was SO good. I told them, “No, Peeps! You stop chirping my name! I don’t want your melty, sugary selves in my bellah, messin’ up my blood sugar mojo!”…
Southern Women’s Show Savannah
Hi, everyone! I’m still alive! For those of you who do not follow us on Facebook, Kyle’s grandmother passed away unexpectedly last week. When we found out, we packed our things, cleaned the house, and headed up to North Carolina. We stayed at Kyle’s cousin’s house and had a most wonderful time in their immaculately decorated home,…
