Sweet treat




When I have a sweet tooth I often make this snack and it is really satisfying!  I mix FAGE Total
Greek Yogurt 0 % (it is super tart) with some sweet things like walnuts, semi sweet chocolate chips, Agave, and some fun fruit.  Simple, sweet, and a lot healthier than eating ice cream =)

Any healthier treats you enjoy??

XOXO,

Eco Station Fun





















On Sunday, Daniel and I took Alexa to the Eco Station in Culver City.  It is a wonderful place that rescues exotic animals from harmful circumstances/people and gives them a wonderful happy life there.  It was really nice to see the animals in such good care and learn all about them.  There were so many different kinds of animals, was so surprised to see an alligator, large black Pacu fish, iguanas, a beautiful Bobcat, amongst so many others.  Just super cool. 

We had a great time, will definitely go again!  The day we went there were booths with games, a bounce house, and all kinds of fun things to do for the kiddos.  I highly recommend visiting here in the future.


XOXO,
Amanda

Two years ago, my husband Daniel and I became parents to the our amazing, precious little girl Alexa.  The past two years have been so amazing and life changing.  She has captured our hearts forever and it's been such an adventurous journey watching her grow.   I am truly grateful for our little family.  

As for my blog, it has evolved into more of a lifestyle blog.   I'm a busy wife and mama on the go so my blog will reflect my new lifestyle.   I am still a fashionista at heart, but in a very different way than I was before.  As a busy mama, I dress more laid back and casual.   Comfort is key and I really appreciate a good deal.  I prefer practical and stylish clothes that are fun and versatile so I can wear them over and over in different ways.

I have re discovered my passion for cooking and enjoy creating healthy new recipes for my family.   I give a lot of credit to Pinterest, a website where I get many of my creative inspirations.  I will blog about recipes, family, fashion, beauty, and anything else that inspires me.  I hope you enjoy!
