Cashew Chicken Fingers

Cashew Chicken Fingers

Carmen Telford

99% of the time when I cook, my goal (besides making really delicious food) is to be quick and no fuss. I also like making things that my kids will enjoy because life is just easier that way.

Most kids I know love chicken fingers, and I think most adults like (love😍) them too. My husband and I sometimes joke that we had kids just so we could order chicken fingers at restaurants and not feel like we are children. Now we can eat half of their order and know one will know it was basically for us 🤗  Read more →

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a lovely long weekend! Mine was fairly routine, busy but it felt productive. I got a few workouts in, took the kids to the park so they could play all their sports and burn off some energy, Luke got a kite for his birthday so I promised him we would go fly the thing.  I also worked on the blog and on Saturday night I motivated myself to go through and purged/organize my kitchen cupboards. My social life is onnnnn fire 🙈lol Read more →

Home Workout & Prioritizing Your Health

Home Workout & Prioritizing Your Health

Carmen Telford

Home workouts are awesome, they can be simple, efficient, and effective.  Not everyone is a gym junkie or has the desire to be one, and not everyone has the time to commit to a rec sports team, running group, etc… Life is busy and full of responsibilities so finding time can be difficult. But…..

Here’s the thing, if you care about your body, if you care about how you look and feel, then you need to make time for healthy things, it’s as simple as that.  If you care for other people, this is all the more reason why you should be making your own health a priority. What does that mean?  You need to move your body for at least 30 minutes every day with intention. Some days it might be putting on your running shoes and going for a brisk walk or run during your lunch break, maybe doing a workout at home while the kids are sleeping. Whatever it is, it needs to be physically challenging. Read more →
