Sometimes you are in a season in life where what you want is just not right for your family. 

My goals and dreams are so important to me. I have HUGE 2015 goals that I believe will make me a stronger Christian, and better business women and a fantastic person, but none of these goals are more important than being a great wife and mother! 

I had to remember that when my family asked me to not do the Mrs Alaska pageant and spend more time with them. As much as I felt like getting on my soap box and talk about all the giving I do for them and how they should be able to let me do THIS ONE THINGS... I knew my only answer to them could be YES! 

That doesn't mean that it won't ever be my season to get back in pageants, it just means for now, my focus needs to be on the three little ones (and one big one) who depend on me for nearly everything :) 

My fitness journey will still go on and I will definitely find excuses to still try on fancy dresses, but for now I'm just going to be happy being Mrs. Gorrin of Alaska- and that's a pretty great title!!

Let's Get Saucy!

A great way to save a few calories, but not lose any taste is to make your own sauce or dressing. When you know what's going into the recipe you have the ability to tweak it as you like to keep sodium and sugar low! 

If found these fun recipes I'm going to try out this week on pinterest. Take a look!
