Lets talk Success , and what the the definition of success is, I want to share my definition
Is not something that involves money …
Its being a wonderful and amazing mother to my son <3
Finding my Soulmate and marrying him
Having 2 wonderful parents who love me very much
Amazing sisters that are so close to me and are always there for me, as I am for them 
Being a Aunt to my adorable nephew who I love so much <3
Im blessed to have another nephew Ellis as well ( not pictured )
A true , sweet, and trust worthy best friend forever, so blessed to have Cassie
waking up every day and seeing how beautiful the world is
Success is something I have, which this fortune tells
Success is not how many page views I get, its how many people I make happy by having my blog ♥
I honestly can not thank you guys enough, you make me the richest person in the world, the comments, the friendships, and the love I get from this blog , makes me feel like I am on top of the world ♥
Thank you so much!
What is your definition of success?

Right now, success for me personally is finishing up school!! Can’t wait to be done!
I tried some others too but this is my FAVE , it might be the oat bran and pumpkin combo?! I loved it!!
Yay for your success! U will be so happy when you finish and so proud!
oh me, oh my – that is one pretty little breakfast Katie
I’ve have so many mug cake recipe flops that I’m always scared to try ‘em out. They always taste too… eggy. Mehhhh.
beautiful post, per usual, my dear. You have so much to be grateful for and deserve all the happiness in the world
I LOVE YOU!
Thanks love! You should try this one, it does not taste eggy! Not to me anyways!
I love you! Thank you so much! Excited to read your VIP post tonight!! xoxo

PS: Your son is gunna be a total heartbreaker!
PPS: I’m tooootally jealous of your Keurig.
awwwww your sweet Jodi! Thank you!
Yeah he is going to be ; ) I hope he is always so sweet too!
AND I would of not had a keurig if it wasn’t for my wedding registry ; ) maybe you should ask for one for a holiday or birthday?!! <3
Love your definition Katie!
Success: Going to bed each day happy and proud for what I did at work, at home, with Jason, with my family and friends and for myself.
thanks girl! Your definition is beautiful too! Like you <3
I dont really care for pumpkin, but I do like cake
Maybe I’ll modify it with apple or nanner? Okay your weddings pics are breathtaking!
I say apple or nanner would work for sure!!! Thank you so much love!
You sound pretty darn successful to me! I define success as finding peace and happiness. I guess I’m fairly successful too!
U are very successful as well ; ) and thank you!
Happy Monday, love! I absolutely adore your definitions of success, and from all of the things that you listed, I’d say that you’re pretty darn successful
You have such a beautiful and caring heart, and I have to thank YOU for being part of the blogging community, because your posts and your comments are always bright points in my day 
For reals.
I feel the same way about you girl! Your comments always put a ray of sunshine in my day! I am so glad I found your blog, you are truly a genuine and beautiful person, and I enjoy reading your blog because of that <3
love this!
awesome pics-especially the one of you and your adorable son! I agree with you, success should not be measured by the amount of money someone makes or the materialistic items one has, but by their happiness and the happiness that they desperse with others around them [which is definitely what you do! 
]
p.s. I’m running to get that island coconut ASAP!!
Awwwww thanks! U have beautiful success too girl! U are always so damn sweet! Thank you!
and YES it is so good, you will love the island coconut!!
That sounds a lot like what I have been eating for the last two weeks almost every morning
YUMMMM… I sometimes put some cut up peaches and sugar free syrup on mine, its like peach cobbler. Its heaven. I am hungry now.
I already wrote this on facebook but to me success is happiness. I think there are so many UNHAPPY people in this world. Unhappy because of all they DON’T have. I say being happy for all that you DO have is success.
I saw your facebook post! I LOVE your definition <3
Money does not equal happiness, sure we need money to live, but you can have all the money in the world and be the poorest person, because you don't have love, its true .
Love you!
It’s funny- I was thinking about success this morning- as I raced out of the house (late to work) clutching my breakfast, coffee and lunch and trying to remember if I had a 9am or 10am appointment to start my day! I would say it wasn’t a ‘successful’ morning! I think success is about being able to find happiness or contentment wherever you are in life!
This post is a great reminder to appreciate what’s truely important in life!
Love the new header by the way!
U make me very happy for having your blog it’s awesome and I look forward to reading it everyday!!!! Oh your pumpkin mug looks so good !!! I will for sure be making it!!! My definition of success is being happy with were you are in life and enjoying life to it’s fullest.. Being anything but happy isn’t in my vocabulary!!! Love this post and the pics !!!!!
Thank you Carrie! I am so happy to make YOU happy : )
xoox <3
Your outlook on life is beautiful, just like you! Thank you for reminding us what is truly important in life. <3
Yum! I want that breakfast too!! Gotta get some oat bran so I can try it.
Happy new week! I know this week is going to be a great one!
Thank you! Thank you! U make my day !
I have a feeling its going to be a great week too! Yay for both of us!!!!
Beautiful post! Success is definitely measure more than the money we make, and the things we have (like houses, cars, etc.)
Yes! Material things are not the key to success ; )
I think you’re gorgeous inside and out and deserve every itty bitty piece of success you have in your life!! Keep rocking your success girl!!!
WOOO HOOO!
xxoo
Oh geez! Always making me blush ; ) thank so much girl! U have MUCH success too!!!
xoxo <3
I love your definition on success! I think its the same as you! Most important is having a great relationship with family and friends! : )
SO important, especially family, you only get one family ; )
I think that’s a pretty fabulous way to measure success
For me, it’s whether I found happiness in each day. And long term it means, having an impact on someone’s life.
Thank you Shanna ; )
oooh that cake looks awesome!
It was big and yummy! ha! <3
You are a success that is for sure. I adore that picture of you and your son.
Chelsa, thank you! Thank you a million! <3
Um, hello, I must be late to the party because I did NOT know you could make a cake in a mug – or in 1.5 minutes! What a secret for me to be missing out on, I gotta try this someday! You are now on my Pinterest of recipes to try out some time!
Love the sentiment to start the week with, such a true and positive message!
Yes you can ; ) its yummy and easy! Thank you so much love! You really are so sweet! <3
Yaay for pumpkin cakes! I finally posted my recipe today! I’m going to give yours a try for snack tonight (in place of my cottage cheese…can you believe it?!)
Love this post! Success for me is loving and being loved. I truly believe that love is what makes this world beautiful, and what cures us of evil. There can NEVER be too much love! LOVE YOU!! xoxoxo
LOVE you! I just left you a comment and come back to see you left me one !!! haha!
You could add pumpkin to your cottage cheese! Ever done that? cottage cheese + pumpkin + cinnamon+ almond butter!
Love you!
I’m going to make one of those mug muffins for a snack today! How did you make the protein frosting?
and how much cinnamon? A dash or a splash?
A dash! <3 Hope your Monday Is wonderful!! xoxo
Sunwarrior Vanilla and A little water!
I’m such a ditz. I thought it said PUMPKIN frosting. I even typed protein but still thought it was pumpkin. Haha!
no you are not! <3
I wish I had time in the morning to make that pumpkin cake! I am not a morning person so I give myself as little time as possible to get ready so I can sleep longer. It looks delicious!!
I define success as finding my happiness in the world – a job I love, friends who are loyal, and an amazing family.
That pumpkin mug cake sounds really good!
Success to me is living every day to its fullest and making the best out of every situation that is thrown my way.
it was delicious!
Love your definition of Success!
oh my god i’m SO addicted to microwave cakes right now its insane! i make them with coconut flour like everyday hahaha its pretty sad but i just can’t stop making them and they’re ULTRA moist and so delicious if you spread coconut oil on top!!
ahh your pics are beautiful! <3 and loving the pumpkin in a bowl!
thanks Mariel!!!! <3 Happy Monday!

You are beautiful inside and out!
