About

In December of 2013 Michael and Dawn decided that they and their three kids need to live a healthier life, a better life. They started their quest to find fun family active activities, kid-friendly balanced, and healthy recipes, and all on the tight budget of a single, military family, income.

This is our family's quest to a happy, healthy lifestyle on a budget. We'll share our family friendly recipes, our workout routines, and how we stay active, as a family unit.

Strauss Family Members Bios:

Dawn, aka Delectably Dawn, is a SAHM who is in her late 20's. Her goals for 2014 are to lose the pounds she gained during her last pregnancy and live a more fit, lifestyle. She also hopes to create plenty of healthy kid-friendly recipes, and workout routines.

Bug (short for Drama Bug) is the oldest of the 3 Strauss House children. Her goals for 2014 are to complete 1st grade with great marks and try lots of new activities, and maybe...just maybe, try a new food or two.

Spunk (short for Spunky Bruiser) is the wild child. She's two and has hopes and dreams of not going to bed, running wild through the streets and swinging on the playground. All at lightening speed.
