Healthy Banana Split

I first have to say, how exciting is it to see the Denver Nuggets win the championship? I am a HUGE Denver Broncos fan and I saw how good the Nuggets were a few years ago (they beat my Jazz) so I have been rooting for them this year. I'm so happy for them!

Anyways, on to the recipe. This is another recipe from Noom (they call it Whip-It-Good Banana Split) and it's for a healthier banana split pudding recipe. Super easy to make. I added some chocolate chips on top but it tastes just like a banana split or banana cheesecake. Huge win for our house! I also love the fact that this is very low calorie and I used fat free or sugar free options when and where I could. This tastes exactly like a banana split in every bite and the flavor is spot on - without all the extra calories. 

Ingredients:
Zero sugar cool whip topping
One banana
Jell-O sugar free fat free cheesecake pudding
Good & Gather skim milk
Cherries, to top

Directions:
Whisk together milk and pudding mix in a bowl for about two minutes. Spoon half of the dessert into a glass cup. Top with bananas and the remaining pudding (I divided this into two bowls). Top with whipped topping and cherries. Let sit in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. Add chocolate chips, granola, cinnamon, chia seeds, or any additional toppings that you prefer. Enjoy!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
