It's a muffin tin people!
Hey kids. How's the weekend so far? My little buddy woke up with a boiling temperature and just wanted to cuddle while I rocked him. He NEVER wants me to just rock him! It was sad because he wasn't feeling well, but it's times like these that make everything worth it.
So I wanted to share with you something my mom started the other day. It's called the muffin tin diet. Ever heard of it?
In a nutshell, you stuff healthy snacks that you would eat into muffin tins. And let me know if I get this wrong- but when you eat every two hours your insulin levels stay consistent. And when your insulin levels are consistent your body's metabolism kicks in and you're able to maintain or loose weight that much easier. Plus these are all healthy snacks and when your tummy is full you're less likely to snack on that frozen cookie dough in your freezer... or those fruit snacks that are supposed to be for your kids' lunch! Anyway, my momma has loved it so far.
I am ALWAYS hungry! And obviously I wouldn't do it to loose weight, but to just have those healthy snack ideas ready. Ya know? Eating healthy is so much about preparation. It's not like I hate eating carrot sticks and celery. Or even fresh fruit. I love it! I'm just too lazy to wash it and get it ready. Because when I'm hungry- I'm hungry!
Let me know if you try it!
AND THE GIVEAWAY ENDS TOMORROW FOR MY EBOOK!!
Click here for details
Remember. You have to follow and comment on Cindy Hogans blog to qualify.
Just so you know, out of the 14 bloggers who are all part of this "party" you and I are in second place, ONE COMMENT AWAY from the lead! How cool is that? I thought it was pretty cool. We're awesome. Especially for being the last blog mentioned. Way to kick butt people!
Look what I made last night? First cake- don't judge! And all the girls in the class had spent hours making these beautiful roses and carnations and blah blah... ha ha I showed up with nothing but my cake, pieces of a bow we had made in the first class and some fondant! Pretty good for no prep time and no idea!

Pins #2
Today we went to this free splash pad in Riverdale. And it was HIL-arious! Boston was TERRIFIED of getting wet. Which is weird because he basically lives outside in our blow up pool. It was so cute because he would try to be brave, venture out as far as he dared and something would get him wet and he'd come screaming back to me and hang onto my leg for dear life! Ah the joys of parenthood. Is there anything better? I'm pretty sure there isn't. It's the best job in the world.
Don't forget to enter the giveaway! The prize is my hairstyle ebook! If... ha ha just kidding, WHEN it comes out. Remember, in order to qualify you have to not only be my follower, but you must follow Cindy Hogan, the author of Watched. And seriously you guys. I CANNOT put it down. It is an easy, fun read and super addicting. AND it's only $2.99 if you get the digital copy. So all you kindle/iphone/whatever readers. It's only $2.99!
Alright. It's finally here. This weeks pins! I have to tell you, I really hate Pinterest. My list of "to-makes" is now piling high! If ever we move out of my parents house I'll start actually crafting things of my own. Until then, I'll just be adding to that list that I am so excited to start checking off!!
Isn't this a pretty hairstyle? SUPER easy. Remember that headband braid? Yeah, same exact thing!
