our favorite after-school snack with goldfish®

I know I’m not alone when I say that I have some PICKY eaters on my hands. My ten year old daughters, McKenzie and Kasey, are more of “snackers” than full meal eaters. This has made them pretty specific when requesting snacks from the store. Since they were younger, they have always picked out a bag of Goldfish crackers. When I heard that they just came out with a new line of crackers, I knew I had to bring some home for them to try. They were a hit!

road-trip essentials for kids

This is a bittersweet post. We leave for Georgia in just a couple days for spring break – YAY! We’re going to visit my brother, sister in law and my baby nephew, whom we’ve had yet to meet.

One thing I’ve learned about myself from 2018 is that I’m a goal setter and planner. I thrive when I have a list, my planner and what I want to achieve written down. I lost 22 pounds last year, hit many milestones in my blogging and vlogging career, and really discovered who I was. I believe I owe all that to planning, as crazy as it sounds. I thought of what I wanted and I went after it. It seems like a simple thought but if you’re not willing to put the work in, nothing is going to change. I want to carry this motivation into 2019 but make it even more intentional.
