Straight Talk: Being a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM)

I absolutely love being able to stay home with my boys and be there for them all of the time, but that's also a drawback of being a SAHM! I often find myself needing an outlet. I want the best for my boys, but I also need the best for myself. We moved across country and don't have any family around so we have had to learn, even more, how to juggle being parents, husband and wife and individuals. We need our family time, date nights and our ME time. How do you manage when there's no one there to give you that time?

The Best Marinated Grilled Chicken!

Today, I wanted to share a recipe with you. The recipe is one I first discovered on *'How Jen Does It.' Jen uses this chicken in conjunction with Penne pasta to make Grilled Chicken and Penne Pasta. The original recipe is very good! Every time I make it, my husband absolutely loves it. If I ask him for a meal suggestion he always says the Grilled Chicken and Penne Pasta!

Since he likes it so much, I decided to use this marinade recipe in other dishes I cook. I've used it in many different chicken recipes including a grilled chicken sandwich!

Hey, That's a Good idea #1: Lunch Packing Cabinet

Hey, That's a good idea! It's always nice, in my opinion, to see how other people do things around their house.

This is something I saw on *Happily A Housewife on YouTube and I was inspired to make my own.

                     I thought, "Hey, that's a Good Idea!"

Are You Drinking Enough Water Everyday?

Happy Friday,

I am on a journey to get my life back! I want to be healthy and fit again, like I was before I had my three children. I know a big part of that is to make sure I eat right, exercise and drink plenty of water. We have to stay hydrated so that our bodies will continue to work, right?

Here are a few ways I make sure I'm getting at least 64 ounces of water a day:

Just A Little About Me...

Hello all,

Welcome to Tamala Today. I am Tamala as you may have guessed. My name is pronounced like Pamela, but with a 'T.' I am a wife and a mother of three boys! I have a 9 year old, a 2 year old and an almost 6 year old. All of my boys are summer babies. July, August and September.

I Thought This Was Cool!

Hey,
