Quinn & Mumma Morning (3.5 Years Old)

Image
I’ve partnered with Wonderful Halos to bring you this blog post. Right now, the brand is hosting a “ Good Choice Challenge ” to encourage consumers to make good snacking choices by choosing Wonderful Halos over other traditional unhealthy snacks in order to lead a healthier lifestyle. We LOVE Halos in our house and, most days, we’re eating at least a few – if not more – from our fruit bowl. Here’s a peek inside a Quinn and Mumma day and how we incorporate Halos and healthy snacking. As always, thank you for your support! Quinn “boop-boops” me on the nose, and I’m instantly awake. Whatever dream I had the night before mixed with him poking my nose startled me awake. Haha! Once I figure out what the heck is going on, we head downstairs to see Dada. He’s already in the kitchen making himself breakfast. Most mornings, I start my day with a glass of iced coffee (+ collagen), but I’m starving. Quinn says he’s hungry too, so I make him breakfast and then grab some Powerseed Protein Overn

24 Days of Togetherness (Days 13 – 19)

Image
The holiday fun continues in the Haupert household! It’s been a fun few weeks to say the least, and I really love that this tradition adds so much to this time of year. Here’s the next recap of our 24 Days of Togetherness activities! Day 13: Make a holiday drawing. We named this year’s drawing: “Snowstorm in December.” Day 14: Tell each out something you love about them . Quinn told me his favorite thing about me is “cuddling.” Awwwww! Day 15: Give each other 10-minute massages or back scratches (Mal and Quinn’s favorite) . Day 16: Wrap Christmas presents and drive adult beverages . Day 17: Buy Murphy a Christmas present . Murphy loved the ride in the car + the trip to the store. We ended up buying him donut doggie treats, which, of course, he loved! 🙂 Day 18: See Christmas lights . We saw the lightshow on Lilah Lane once again this year. If you’re local, it’s a MUST SEE! Day 19: Get holiday drinks from Starbucks . Quinn got a kid’s hot chocolate, Mal went with an ic

Grok’s Favorite Things: 14 Gifts For Yourself (or Other Primal Types in Your Life)

Image
Grok may not have an entire cable network or billions of dollars in net worth, but I’d suggest he’s at least as good as Oprah at picking good gifts. This is his gift list for 2017. For a dude whose idea of high technology was an atlatl, it’s an impressive one. If you’re shopping for the Primal types in your life, or maybe you want to treat yourself to something not just nice but  useful , use this gift guide for ideas. 1.  70-Gallon Stock Tank I’ve been banging the cold plunge drum for years now, but the fact remains that most people don’t have an easy way to fully immerse themselves in cold water. Showers aren’t plunges. Bathtubs don’t offer full immersion, and the warm water always beckons. $120 gets you this 70-gallon stock tank, which is large enough to accommodate most full-grown adults interested in immersing themselves in cold water. 2.  All-Clad Stick Blender The stick blender is a great idea, but most of the time people skimp on the price and end up with a substandard,

Ooey-Gooey Dark Chocolate Eggnog Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Image
These are a few of my favorite things about the holiday season: Eggnog , cookies , and family . And I was able to combine them in quite the delicious event! Ok, so this time of year can get pretty hectic, and we’re all doing our best to hang ALL the decorations, buy ALL the presents, remember who’s holiday party is coming up next, and, of course, make time for the people we love most. (Wow, it’s been a crazy few weeks, right?) I’m thankful that our family has “ 24 Days of Togetherness ” to help us enjoy the holiday season as much as possible. We make time for one another with activities that put us spirit of the season and one of our favorite things to do together is bake! This year, we took two of our loves (chocolate + eggnog) and combined them into one delicious cookie: Ooey-Gooey Dark Chocolate Eggnog Cookies. They. Are. Delicious. These cookies have subtle hints of eggnog and nutmeg with melt-y dark chocolate making them the ultimate cookie swap or holiday party tag-along. I

How Finance Is Like Fitness

This post is sponsored by YNAB. Friends!! You know from two of my previous posts that I am a total  YNAB (You Need A Budget) freak. Ever since trying out the budgeting program back in March of 2016, it has completely changed my life. I check in with my budget daily (sometimes more than once a day), and it has made me very intentional with my spending and savings goals. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it! (Probably go back to complicated spreadsheets – shudder!) This is a product that I truly and wholeheartedly believe in, and I want you all to try it out! Imagine my squeal when I found out that the founder of YNAB, Jesse Mecham, has written a book that goes into detail on all the why, what, and how questions of budgeting.  You Need A Budget:  The Proven System for Breaking the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle, Getting Out of Debt, and Living the Life You Want is currently available for pre-order and comes out next week, on December 26. The YNAB team sent me an advance copy
