Passion

You may know by now that I am a wife, mom, blogger etc. 
If you have have explored my blog you may have even seen that I'm a photographer. This is a huge passion of mine and recently I had an awesome mentoring session with Kathleen clipper. She totally inspired me to focus more on the style of photography that I love the most. {Fashion Photography} I love being able to be in a more creative setting. 
This is one of my photo shoots that I did as a part of a series on true beauty.

{Fashion Friday} Crops and Bodycons

Finally have a Maternity Fashion post up!

I am now 19 weeks and 3 days.


Let's be honest. This pregnancy has not been at all what I thought it would be. 
I knew it would be hard but not this hard. They weren't kidding when they said every pregnancy is different. There is absolutely nothing I could count on from my last two pregnancies. Everything has been amplified by 100 and brand new stuff too.
I'm getting through it though. I'm working around it. That's all a mama can do right.
I'm thankful that the hubs is being supportive and helpful when I can't do things. 
 
Cravings:
 Meat! I want meat at all meals. Bacon, cheeseburgers, steak, all that jazz! Baby loves it too. He kicks me so much when he gets meat. He's already a little hungry boy.

{gender reveal} Drumroll please.....

I know a lot of you have been waiting super patiently and I appreciate it. 
Thanks to one of our many screening tests we were able to find the sex out of the baby a lot earlier than expected. So we've kinda known for awhile.......We are finally letting the cat out of the bag!

Kiss the Cook

I haven't tried any new recipes lately. But I thought I would share one of our favorites that are now a staple in our weekly meal plans.

We have consciously tried to switch out a lot of ingredients in our food to make them a bit healthier for us. They have turned out to be really awesome and we can't get enough!


Tacos


We switched ground beef for ground turkey and we can't even taste the difference.
As well as making our own taco seasoning. It's way better than buying the packaged seasoning. They end up having too much "extra" stuff that we don't want. 


1lb Ground Turkey
Corn taco shells
cheese {we shred block cheese ourselves. Supposedly the bagged stuff is more processed}
Tomatoes
Plain greek yogurt {instead of sour cream}
Avocados 

Taco Seasoning

1Tbl Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp Paprika
1 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper



Brown meat, rinse
Add seasoning to meat. Add 1/3 cup water



Happy Fiesta!
