2015 Highlights - Best Year Yet

Usually at the end of a year, I am looking forward to the following year to start something fresh and work toward new goals.  This year, however, I wish I could just freeze and bottle up forever.  I have been blessed with the birth of my beautiful son, Gavin, in 2015 and I will always cherish this year as it has been filled with more joy, happiness, and love than I could ever have imagine for myself. 
Happy New Year + thank you for all of your support!

Greek Yogurt "Cookie Dough"



If you are like me, you probably overdosed on sugar for Christmas & are trying to eat healthy now that all the festivities are over.  When I am craving something sweet, I love to have a healthier option and this Greek yogurt "cookie dough" recipe is so delicious and satisfying.  It is full of protein which is an added bonus!  I was so impressed at how much this actually tastes like cookie dough.

Ingredients:
- Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp peannut butter
- 1 tbsp honey
-  1/4 tsp vanilla
-  pinch of sea salt
-  1 tbsp chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate) 

Directions: Add peanut butter, honey, vanilla, sea salt and mix well.  Add chocolate chips ( as many as little as you want), stir and enjoy!

Festive Decor {on a budget}

Since it was Gavin's first Christmas, I wanted to make sure we had some new decor so we can go all out this year.  However, I did not want to spend a fortune since I have over 20 people to shop for (with half being kids!).  I was lucky enough to find some incredible deals, while still hosting the perfect Christmas dinner!
