Hello and happy Friday to you! If you’re looking for a quick and easy recipe to add to your meal plan next week, check out this seriously nutritious and delicious 15-Minute Ground Beef Chili & Rice Skillet. Thank you to Star Market for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. You guys know I’m all about the easy dinner recipes, especially now that I’m a mom.

Some of you linked to this video in my country music post , and my gosh it is THE BEST collaboration of country musicians. The song had me covered in goosebumps, and I listen to it on repeat all the time. Also loving this Acoustic Covers playlist  on Spotify! Giggling over… The fact that I am in a Fantasy Football league! Yes, this is the influence of my new man 🙂 He’s obsessed, and so I joined a women’s team with one of our frien
