Lately I've felt like my own worst enemy. It's not Keto's fault. It's my fault. I eat off of my plan. I use excuses that aren't really valid. I've been eating way too many carbs lately. It really started with vacation in May. I gave myself the excuse that it was vacation and I needed… Continue reading Self Sabotage

Imagine a Healthy You
I recently learned a new concept. The concept isn't new and I know that I've heard it before, but it was explained in a way this time that really stood out. The information has sunk in and I'm starting to apply the theory to my life with good results. So today, I'm going to teach… Continue reading Imagine a Healthy You
Happy Easter All!
I hope all of you are enjoying the Easter season so far! We are having particularly cool weather here (for this part of April) in South Louisiana where we live. It made for some very nice family events over the Easter weekend. And we had a SUPER busy Easter weekend this year. I almost needed… Continue reading Happy Easter All!
Please Pass the Salt!
If you've had any exposure to the Ketogenic diet at all you have probably heard or read something about salt. I remember when I first heard a keto expert talking about salt, I had to do a play back of the recording... WAIT! WHAT?!?! You want me to eat MORE salt? Now THAT's what I'm… Continue reading Please Pass the Salt!
Here Comes Peter Cottontail
Growing up in a family of five children, we had a lot of Easter traditions. I've tried to share most of them with my daughter from a very young age. As well as trying out a few new ones. Luckily, she's still so young that she doesn't really remember what we did from one year… Continue reading Here Comes Peter Cottontail
Just Like THAT She’s 4 Years Old
Our daughter's fourth birthday was last weekend. It was bittersweet. She's smart, silly, strong, kind, affectionate, funny and she loves animals. As any typical three/four year old, she has her moments - tantrums, negotiating for later bedtimes, wheeling and dealing for candy, etc. But all in all, she's a great kid and she is teaching… Continue reading Just Like THAT She’s 4 Years Old
Relaxing A Little
Two weekends ago my husband and I went away (without our daughter) for a retreat with friends. It was the perfect weather to have a fire in the evenings. During the day on Saturday we cuddled up to watch videos and share ideas on how to build better marriages for ourselves and our spouses. We… Continue reading Relaxing A Little
Another Lent Is Upon Us
On Tuesday, Mardi Gras day, I sat and wondered what I would give up for Lent this year. Often I like to make my Lenten penances somewhat of a self-improvement thing. To sort of knock out two birds with one stone - I become a better person in some way that I know I need… Continue reading Another Lent Is Upon Us
Too Much Sugar
We feed our children too much sugar. I think we probably all know that as a society, we consume too much of it. Even if you don't consider all of the ways that it's secretly hiding in our food. Too much. I've always been wary of how much sugary drinks and candies my daughter Lena… Continue reading Too Much Sugar
I Don’t Make Resolutions.
This may shock some of you, you may assume that I'm the kind of person that always sets a resolution at the beginning of each year, but I don't. I've never like the cliche of a New Year's resolution. But I do like setting goals. This year I've decided to step out of my comfort… Continue reading I Don’t Make Resolutions.
