How To Enjoy The Holidays Without Ditching Your Diet
This will be the second holiday season I've enjoyed while maintaining my weight loss efforts.

Christmas Home Tour {2016}
I love decorating my home for Christmas! I will admit, I was kind of sad to put away my fall decor...until I started opening the Christmas bins.

Christmas Recap {2015}
Today I'm sharing my favorite pictures and moments from our Christmas celebration! Somehow Paul and I failed to get a picture of just the two of us...but I got plenty of pictures of the cats.
