We are headed out to East Texas this weekend on our Saturday adventure-most likely to Jefferson. We have a list of places but want to know if we are missing something or somewhere around there. What would be on your list of places to visit in Jefferson or nearby?

Also please help me- I want to do some factory tours and since 2020 most have stopped doing them. Do you know of any factories that are still doing tours?

Who doesn’t love wings? I LOVE them and made these at home on Friday and they were fantastic! I love it because they are baked not fried and they fell right off the bone!!!

What flavor wings are your favorite? Are you a blue cheese or ranch person? Got a good wing recipe- share with me and I’ll share mine with you too!

It’s that time of year, AGAIN! So don’t forget to set those clocks back!

Did you know Not All States Use DST?

Almost all of the US states have yearly clock changes. The only exceptions are Hawaii and Arizona.

I love that extra hour I’m going to get tomorrow morning!

👉👉 So, do you like to FALL back or SPRING forward? Or do you wish we would do away with it all together? ⏰🕰

From my kids gym teacher to one of my besties- for the past 10 years (wow crazy how time flies) Ms Neal has been in our lives. I didnt know her well but my kids loved her and always talked about her- we would see each other at school events and she even introduced us to some of our best friends at a Spring picnic one year. She would challenge Maggie to wear her hair a certain way on crazy hair day or who could grow their hair the most over the summer and not cut it. She would come to plays and volleyball games on random Saturday mornings (when I’m sure she had better things to do). She would send me pics of my kids at school - I always loved getting those! At the end of Maggie’s 5th grade year she moved and we were all so sad but she would come visit and pull Turner out of class to say HI and send me pics.

Then she introduced me to this health and wellness journey I am on and we have grown so much closer as friends- she pushes me when I need it and cheers me on when I need it too. She truly has a heart of gold that I so appreciate. Turner says all the time “mom can you believe that you and Ms Neal are such close friends now?” I am truly thankful to be on this journey with you- can’t wait to see where the next 10 years will take us!

Funny thing is I still have her in my phone as Ms Neal not Jennifer since that’s what I saved her number as many years ago.

Three reasons I drink Trimstix every day!

1) ENERGY- I have Hashimoto’s and have no energy by afternoon! I have two teens and need energy to keep up with them and make memories!

2) It helps curb your appetite and a sweet tooth! Well hello yes I want this!

3) I hate drinking plain water- so this helps me drink water which is a huge goal of mine!

Most who have been following me know my kids and I have a goal to get away 1 Saturday a month just us for a weekend trip- for the most part we have done a great job about being intentional and making it happen. School functions have made it a little more difficult but we have still managed.

I want to know your favorite place you have taken your kids and made the best memories? Some of our funniest memories have not even been on our best trips.

Before some people get started they question how they will ever remember when to take what supplements - well it’s easy- I keep this little organizer in my purse and I tell them to set an alarm on their phone. It really becomes second nature and I don’t even think about it.

Don’t make life harder than it already is on yourself!

Which would you choose?

Did you know?

1) Gut bacteria creates 95% of your body’s serotonin ( serotonin is the hormone that makes you happy, h***y and sleep well).

2) 70% of your immune system is in your gut. Get your gut healthy so you can stay healthy!

3) The bacteria in your gut tell you what to eat. Your not in control of your cravings- your microbiome is.

Have a healthy happy day!

I am so grateful a friend of mine suggested a few of us read this book together. I’m not very far in but I find myself not putting things off as much and counting to 5 and then just doing it and not waiting until later. Maybe by the end I’ll be super productive with my time!

Have y’all read this book? What did you think?

Let’s live our best lives together getting healthy!
