Pre-packing Next Day Meals

I quickly took these pics last night while getting everything together and posted them on my Beachbody Challenge group wall (Which I plan to talk more about in the future!) in the hopes it could benefit someone else.
"Most of my day I'm driving or at work so I pre-cook and pack a day or 2 in advance (like I'm sure a lot of you do!) While getting things ready last night  I thought I'd show you the system I came up with because I was tired of having to remember random items all over the kitchen. I usually do 2 days worth like pictured.

I pack each day's breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks in a plastic basket and then pop it in the fridge (even the stuff that doesn't need to be cold) The next morning, all I have to do is put a full basket in one of those canvas shopping bags, which I always have equipped with eating utensils, vitamins, etc. and I'm out the door! Once I get to work I can transfer the stuff that needs to stay cold into the fridge, grab my breakfast and start my day."
Another nice feature about this is the ability to just toss the baskets in the dishwasher on the weekend to clean any little spills out that may have occurred.

Full Page Recipe Templates [Free printables]

I've been on a mission for quite some time to find full binder size recipe card templates. It seems to me that a 3 ring binder recipe book is much more efficient than the old school 3x5's.  Don't get me wrong, I love those little things, but they get lost, dirty, wrinkled and torn and you have to write really small or use several cards for longer recipes. The internet is surprisingly lacking in full page recipe templates. I did find a couple really cute ones but they just didn't fit my vision/my style. And by my vision and style, I mean something with hot pink and very upbeat. So I took the task on my own, after several frustrating attempts at not having it print correctly, I changed the design a little and now lovers, I decided to share them with you. For FREE! Because everyone loves printables, especially the free ones. Here are a couple different variations. I figured each person might have a slightly different vision of what they want, or depending on the reci...

The Truth About BDSM and "50 Shades of Grey"

A longtime friend of mine recently had the courage to allow others an inside view of her BDSM experiences and her thoughts on “50 Shades of Grey” and has allowed me to post it anonymously because of its significant importance. Do yourself a favor and read this if for no other reason than to educate yourself on the difference between consensual BDSM and abuse. Also, please share this with as many people (men and women) as you can. The message needs to be heard. Made in Fifty. As I'm sure many of you have seen, I'll keep pretty quiet about a hot-button issue until most of the dust has settled. I do this because I like to see both sides and I want to respect both. I like to be thoughtful with things that I put out into the world that are strong convictions for me. I wasn't always this way, but as I get older, it's important to me. A couple of my friends have privately messaged me and asked me what I thought of "the 50 Shades of Grey debate....
