Tacos are life. Taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. I live for tacos. And it isn't just tacos, it is everything that could possibly come with them. Mexican rice, cilantro lime rice, beans, and potatoes. YES! Taco potatoes are SUCH a great addition to your Taco Tuesday. They are a great Mexican side dish or a taco filler and they are jam packed with flavor. While these taco potatoes can be made in the air fryer, and I would be all View Post
It is November, which means Christmas is coming! I usually hold off for the holiday jubilation, but this year is different. Bring on all of the Hallmark Channel original movies!

For two out of the three rounds of Whole30 that I have done, I have started in January. Makes sense, right?

The turkey is fairly View Post

I love to cook. It is something that I enjoy and have learned to do well over time. However, there are many times when I want a good, home cooked meal and don't have much time to cook. This is especially important when my husband and I are on a diet and the kids just want their favorites! I have cooked three different meals sometimes, just because I need to and I have time to.

Making Time For Yourself - Painted Mason Jar Succulent Planters This shop has been compensated. All opinions are mine alone. Ever since I was little, I knew that I wanted to become a mom. I felt really prepared to have a baby, and I was, for the most part. What I was not ready for was just how to take care of a baby, and then eventually three kids PLUS myself.
