I plan to do a whole post this coming week with all the details of the party. It was so fun to plan!

We celebrated her actual birthday, (Tuesday) by starting the day with something we did last year which was a little photo shoot with...

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Isaiah 26:3

You’ve probably heard of the game "Minute to Win It." In life, when it comes to living victoriously we too only need a minute to win it. Truly, wins in our health, our...

Happy Friday Friends! This week was a full week for us. This past Saturday was the first time taking the kids (my nephew and daughter) to the Detroit Zoo! It is a large zoo so we patiently waited until Maddie was almost two to bring her, and she absolutely loved it!

The work week was busy spent editing and getting things ready for the Ultimately Freezer Meal Prep Guide! So fun, and I'm hoping it will be so helpful for back to school season!

We also celebrated my 34th birthday early, (my actual...

Here at Dashing Dish, one of the most common questions we get asked is, “How in the world do I create peaceful balance in my life?” As a busy woman, wife, mom, grandma, person, how are we to get everything done and enjoy a more balanced, healthy life?

The truth is, balance can feel a bit elusive for all of us at times. Ironically, many times we work so hard at creating balance, that we lose it in the process. It’s important to understand that balance is relative. A balanced lifestyle for one...

We are excited to announce that here at Dashing Dish we will be sharing a weekly devotional both on the blog section of Dashing Dish and sent out via email!

Do you enjoy working out?

A fun fact you may not know about me is that I LOVE, and I mean truly love and enjoy working out. Crazy? Maybe! But this wasn’t always the case! In fact, I used to think I could never step foot in a gym and actually feel anything but embarrassment. I was too weak, small, uncoordinated, and NOT athletic. Once I overcame those lies, I had new ones to face. I then believed exercise had to fit into a box that included burning calories and cardio machines, and that it was...
