With summer wrapping up, and schedules getting a little back to normal, I'm back! I have missed connecting with all of my friends and readers this summer.
I have recently begun getting serious about my eating If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen my recent changes. I'm not getting any younger. And after three kiddos, my body has seen better days. ;) I have cut out all processed foods, and sugars. I have been able to tell a huge difference, but I do still crave sweet things every now and then.
