I gave up the idea of "having it all" when I was 35. I was single, never thought I would get married - let alone have a family one day. My career was going great, I was exercising and maintaining my perfect body, going out with my girlfriends, traveling the world and fixing up my house.

Flash forward to 2010 and I am married (5 years), have a 4 year old son and a successful career. My perfect body has long since left me, I still want to see the world, grow my career, enrich my relationship with my husband, raise my son to be a great man and make my home look and feel like Martha Stewart was just there. I spend a majority of my time "striving 2 B supermom" which means I am trying to find a way to juggle a career, marriage and family and maintain some level of sanity!

Is it really possible to "have it all"? Most days are full of laughs, stress, craziness and some fun, but it's overwhelming to try to fit everything in before bedtime. This is my world - my daily strive to become "supermom". It's a combination of my stress, happiness, shortcuts and planning that help me get through the week. This is for all you gals "striving 2 B supermom" too!

Crock Pot Beef Fajitas

I think I got this recipe from a chat board on www.thenest.com. It was easy and something different in the crock pot. The meat came out very tender. I will definitely make this one again!

1 1/2 lbs flank steak
1 large onion sliced
2 green peppers sliced
2 red peppers sliced
2 cloves minced garlic
3/4 cup fresh salsa
3 T lime juice
1 T Olive Oil
1 T tomato paste
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp Mexican Fiesta Seasoning or Chili Powder

Place flank steak in bottom of crock pot. Mix salsa, lime juice, olive oil, tomato paste, salt/pepper, cumin, Mexican fiesta seasoning and garlic together. Pour over meat to cover meat well. Place onions/peppers on top of meat. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours until meat is tender. Remove meat from crock pot. Let stand 10 minutes and slice thin. Serve with flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, jalapenos and shredded cheese.
