Hey Everyone!
Just thought I would share with you some of the new items that I have picked up over the last year that I love using. Does anyone have anything new that they love as well?

Recipe Roundup
We are in August and summer is starting to slip out of our hands but I hope each of us is making the most of the long warm days while we can.
I have been super busy with work but I am fitting in hiking, camping and trips in every nook n’ cranny that I possibly can.
When I am home, I am continuing to keep things fresh and fun in the kitchen. So here are 5 recipes that I am excited to try next.
- Chicken Pesto Spaghetti Squash
- Banh Mi Bowl
- Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Muffins
- Mozzacado Balls
- Cucumber Avocado Salad
The Steps I am Taking to Relax
Anyone who knows me knows that I have a lot of stress from being pulled in many directions. They would also tell you that I hide that stress very well. I tend to keep it bottled up inside. So in an effort to start eradicating the stress, I bottle up; here are 5 measures that I have recently taken to help ease the burden inside.
What are some things you do to relieve stress?
- I bought a hammock chair and I sit in it every evening to unwind from the workday
- I practice deep breathing first thing in the morning, the last thing at night, and whenever I feel a heightened amount of stress during my workday
- I take a bath and give myself a facial. It sounds frivolous but sitting in water calms my nerves and the pressure of circular movements on my face help me relax all the tense spots
- I talk a walk even if it is just a few minutes. Being outside just feels better
- I pray
Summer Reminiscing
We have hit the summer! I know it isn’t the summer that any of us imagined but I hope that we are getting out and enjoying the sunshine as much as possible. Because at the end of it this year – I hope we can all sit back and have something to reminisce about.
In the meantime, I saw this article on msn.com the other day and it got me thinking about some of the songs that I loved the summer they came out. Below are my top 5 from the article. What were some of your favorite songs from the summer?
