I originally took my Whole30 before photo for myself. I have been taking pictures all along my weight loss journey and comparing them--desperate to see a change. I have bed head, no makeup and am overweight wearing spandex--not my finest moment. In fact, it is pretty embarrassing and nerve-wracking to have photos like this out for everyone to see. I dove into Whole30 desperate for change. I'm just a 31 year old mom of 3 living on one income trying to find my way as a mom, a wife, a ...

Apple Picking
We picked a peck of apples. It was a first for all of us. We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day for it either. I had to call around a bit--a lot of places were closed for the season.

We Made it Six Years
Today is Quinn's sixth birthday! The little guy who made me a mom is one amazing boy. It also happened to be his golden birthday, but there were no "Pinterest" worthy parties. We did have my family over for the Badger game to celebrate. We went a whole different route celebrating this year and booked a room at a waterpark.
