Hey guys! These are my current favorite foods at Whole Paycheck! What are yours? I'm always wanting to try new things, but there are so many options! Help me out! This little ditty has mini peanut butter cups in it! It's amazing! This is THE BEST tasting coconut water there is. It's very perishable, so buy it and drink it! Reward yourself for being awesome! I'm so pissed I know how delicious this is! It now calls my name when I walk by it. On occasion, treat yo' self!

Page Turner Tuesday HEARTBURN by Nora Ephron read by Meryl Streep This is a book that feels like I just met someone in group and she is telling me how she met a man, married him and how it ended in divorce. It's well written and I loved listening to Meryl Streep tell the story. It was honest and I appreciate that. I'm glad I listened to it. Amy Poehler talked about it in her book Yes Please and that's why I picked it up. Stories like this are being told around tables across the country. It's brave to tell your story out loud and remind women they are not alone.

PAGE TURNER TUESDAY DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth I LOVED this book. I listened to it on audio while I was driving to and from a job site in Littleton. The story kept me alert and engaged. It's a young adult science fiction novel that discusses factions in a society and how they interact. Each teen at 16 has to choose a faction. That faction will dictate their job and how they interact with the world for the rest of their life. It's a great read! There was this moment in the Dauntless faction after a fight and the person caring for the injured treated the injured like they were strong. They were strong. It was a moment of courage, kindness, compassion, bravery, respect and love. I like when I am treated like I am strong. It speaks, I believe in you, I'm with you, and you got this! My husband is great at this! This was my favorite love scene in the book. “Jennifer Severn is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising progr...

We did two fabulous races in Denver; the Color Run and the Denver Broncos 7K. We had a blast with the kids! The Color Run was all my daughter's idea. I said YES. It's amazing how saying YES to one of our kids ideas can bring about a great memory and quality time. Storm loves to run. The 7K was an opportunity for quality time with his dad. Here's the truth. We bought race packages for all 5 of us for the 7K. Two of our kids didn't make it. They were tired and a little banged up, so we let them sleep and went with one. It was better for us to be there with the one who wanted to go. It didn't turn out like we thought it would, but it was great! The other two had fun at home together and made us a great pancake breakfast to come home to. On our way to the 7K we saw a fatal car crash, and got news that a dear friend of Scott's sister passed away in a car accident the night before leaving her two kids severely injured in the hospital. She's a single mom...
