Fitness Friday: 21 Day Fix Week 5

Week 5 – check! This has been an interesting and busy week. I missed one day due to traveling and another day due to just being exhausted. I had been painting and moving bins which lead to me being too physically spent to try to do the regular exercise. Travel day found me eating some things that I have avoided during the last few weeks, but, for the most part, I have tried to stick to my normal diet. Our normal schedule for eating has been thrown off a bit due to being so busy, so that has lead to…

I can’t hear you?” Well, this book is a take on that idea only it’s us – as adults – trying not to hear what the Lord is telling us.

Hospitality for Guests

Posted in Homemaking, and Reviews

Special thanks to L&Z Inc. for providing a sample of the tencel sheets. We’ve in countdown mode until our guests arrive for Munchkin’s open house. It’s been a long time since we’ve had the opportunity to have this many family members visit at the same time. To say we’re excited is huge understatement. It will be a blast getting to see everyone, spend time with them, and have them here for this special occasion. While we’re thrilled that they are all coming, it does involve a little more planning when you have multiple families come at the same time. You need…

Grilling with Amish Cooking Gloves

Posted in Reviews

Special thanks to Ann Yoder’s Amish Kitchen for providing a sample pair of Amish Cooking Gloves for my family to test out in our home. This post may contain affiliate links. The weather is warming up, so it’s time to clean up the grill and start grilling. It’s also a good time to make sure you actually have enough propane to complete the grilling (assuming you’re using a propane grill). As the temps continue to rise, it’s nice to use the grill for both cooking and grilling to try to keep the house a little cooler. Did you know that…

Fitness Friday: 21 Day Fix Week 4

Posted in Fitness

Week 4 is in the books. Slowly but surely I’m starting to do less and less modification with the exercises. Cardio days are still my hardest days as my asthma slows me down. It will be interesting to see if I can overcome this or if it will just be one of those things that I need to accept. It doesn’t slow me down, per say, but it does make me approach tasks a little differently. It felt really good to be able to use heavier weights this week and make it through some days without any modification. I was…
