Why “Uncomplicated”?

Why use the word “uncomplicated”... ? 

Uncomplicated is necessary right now regarding many things but for the sake of this blog, let’s talk fitness and nutrition first. In an over saturated industry of fitness and nutrition, with all of the advice, guidance, workout and nutrition fads, it can be pretty hard to navigate and sustain any form of a healthy lifestyle.  

After personally changing my diet, lifestyle, habits, and fitness regimens MANY times over the years, to fit mainstream guidance, I failed time and time again. Recently, I stopped. I stopped and evaluated what WAS working, and I stopped doing what wasn’t working, and voila! I started seeing results. 

For example, my food choices and meals most satisfying, delicious, and convenient were the most simple ones. My fitness regimen went from complicated and time consuming to short sweaty and to the point. I found what works for MY body and I continue to see results. I have veered away at times and each time I end up frustrated because my results are either stalled or reversed. I go back to SIMPLE and UNCOMPLICATED and I immediately feel better stronger happier. Simple and UNCOMPLICATED works and the best part, it’s sustainable! 


When it comes to implementing simple and uncomplicated regarding MOMLIFE- simple works for kids, and when something works for kids, it typically works for the grown ups. This is all trial and error and good judgment is necessary, but I repeat, kids love SIMPLE. The way you speak to them, the way you love them, the way you teach them and the way you feed them needs to be done simply and without complication . I struggle keeping it simple daily, because as I’ve said before, I complicate just about everything, however I am successful daily because I never stop trying and I am a work in progress even when it comes to being a Momma. My kiddos and husband deserve the best and when I figure things out that help them and work for them, I gain confidence and feel they are getting my best (in that moment anyway). The easiest way to implement “uncomplicated living”, is be mindful, check in with yourself, and KISSM (keep it simple sexy mama/stud muffin).

I’m eat mostly healthy but ... Brownies

I love to bake, unfortunately baking doesn’t love me back. I am rarely successful when it comes to baking, but because I never give up, and I don’t give in to the baking Gods who clearly hate me, I always figure out a way to make it edible. Ok “always” may be a stretch, but at least sometimes. Case in point, a time that was successful, here we have a box of King Arthur GF Brownie mix for a quick and uncomplicated dessert for company coming over. “Hard to mess up a box of brownie mix!” you proclaim... well leave it to me- I messed it up. Still not sure how, but the brownies came out over-cooked on the outside and under-cooked in the middle. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t cut any shape out of them to make them look even half presentable. Nor did I trust I would be serving a fully cooked brownie. So here is what I did and here is the result: 1 package King Arthur GF (or your preferred brand) brownie mix Made as directed except I used coconut oil in place of butter Cook as dire...

Gluten Free Living-

By -
Being Gluten Free isn’t my first choice of lifestyle if I’m being honest. I’m a carbaholic/sugar addict and that’s putting in gently. I love all things Italian, (good bread, great pasta, decedent pastries, gelato, etc etc etc) I should really be living in Italy if I want to live my best life but that’s not really realistic. A girl can dream. In the meantime, I have been Gluten Free since 2009 with a 5 year break in between from 2013-2018. It all started with a conversation at work a day after I was released from the hostpital from yet again another MIGRAINE.  I am a longtime migraine sufferer, like my mama. They started about the time I matured into a young woman, if you know what I mean.  Progressively through the years they got worse, lasted longer, and were more easily triggered. I was at a point of desperation when the conversation at work happened. My co-worker, also a migraine sufferer, had recently been diagnosed Celiac. She noticed that since going gluten free her m...

Uncomplicated Housekeeping- The Kitchen

Uncomplicated living didn’t come easy, Ill be honest, I still very much have to work at it on a nearly daily basis. However, along my journey to un-complicate life, I have stumbled upon, created, invented, and developed a very UNCOMPLICATED routine for day to day housekeeping, my nemesis. I mean, who wouldn’t rather take their kiddos to the zoo or sit on the floor for hours playing cars or baby dolls with their “only this little once” human beings, over daily chores!? I personally have had my fair share of guilt over choosing to do things with them instead of getting chores done and vice-versa, only the guilt of doing chores over spending time with them is much more intense. Either way, chores need to get done and our babes always want us to play with them (for now anyway) so finding the best most uncomplicated housekeeping routine was absolutely necessary for this momma. I had to go through a lot of trial and error, so I’ll only offer the tricks that been the most susta...
