My Girls

As I sit here today, I am so thankful.

I am blessed with 3 beautiful little girls, who I am able to now watch as they change and grow everyday.  These girls fight, bicker, kick and scream at each other like all siblings but today was much different.  Today as I was listening to them play house in their room I hear one say "I love you" and the other little one without skipping a beat replies "I love you too".  Oh my heart!  Instantly tears came to my eyes as I thought to myself, they are finally getting it, they are understanding what sibling love is.

We always tell our girls we love them.  We have always prompted them to speak to their sister and tell each other you love them.  Now today without them knowing I was there listening at the door I realize they are going to have the best relationship.

If you don't already know my youngest 2 are twins.  Everyone says twins have a special bond but I never saw it with these two.  They are polar opposite, one is relaxed the other always on the go. I didn't know when they would build the relationship that other sets of twins I see have but now I know these girls will be friends forever.

It makes my heart happy to know that all of my girls will have each other to grow up with and have that special confidant.

Absolutely Blessed!

Extreme Fitness

All workouts are still 30 minutes!!  Who can't take 30 minutes out of their day to get in a great workout?!  If you want it bad enough you will find the time :)  I have 3 little girls and I find it, remember 30 minutes is ONLY 2% of your day! AND because you are doing this AT HOME you do not have to waste time travelling to and from a gym!

Simple Nutrition

You still get the easy to follow eating plan with the colour coded containers.  Though there are no treats during this program, no more wine, no more chocolate (at least I have my Shakeology to help with those chocolate cravings!).

Serious Results

The results that I have been seeing from the testers have been absolutely amazing.  People are getting seriously shredded using this program!

Favorite Shakeology Recipes

I have a HUGE sweet tooth!!  I mean really!!  Loved to have something chocolate everyday.  Since starting on Shakeology I have been able to really curb those cravings and put my health on the right track :)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup

This is my all time favorite recipe for shakeology!  Growing up all I ever wanted was peanut butter. Then when I was old enough and found peanut butter cups... look out!!!  Two of my favorite things together!?

If you love chocolate and peanut butter try this out and let me know what you think!

Thin Mint / Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Yes another chocolate mixture! lol  I could honestly eat a box of these to myself within a day!!  Plus having a big love for mint chocolate chip ice cream this was totally the way to go!  Love how refreshing this recipe is :)

Are you like me and have a love of mint chip ice cream?  Try substituting with this :)

Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Happy October All!!

October is probably my FAVORITE month of the year in Canada! I love the fall colours, the weather is not too hot and not too cold and of course it ends with Halloween! I know Halloween is not a holiday but I still love it :) I love seeing all the little ones dressed in their costumes and I of course love that as a Mom and adult I can dress up as well and have some fun with my babies!

With the cooling weather of fall I like to do some slow cooker meals. It is easy and makes the house smell amazing throughout the day!

One of my all time favorite slow cooker meals is Chicken Cacciatore:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Italian dressing or whichever dressing you like, I have used balsamic vinaigrette or sundried tomato oregano
2 or 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup each red and green pepper strips
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can crushed tomatoes
4 cups cooked rice (whichever kind you prefer)

Directions:

Heat dressing in pan on medium heat. Add chicken to pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Put mushrooms, onions, peppers, garlic and chicken into slow cooker. Empty can of crushed tomatoes over it all and cover with lid. Cook on High for 5 hours.


I use a fork and shred the chicken up in the slow cooker when it's almost finished. Serve chicken over rice. Amazing!
