I’ve recently been blogging a lot more about food, and how we use our diet to enhance our healthy lifestyle choices. Changing your diet and eliminating your favorite foods can be really overwhelming at first. When I first started changing my diet, I was really intimidated and scared to start. We started slow, and gradually […]
I have spent most of my adult life swearing that meal prep days are more trouble than they’re worth. As much as I enjoy cooking, I really don’t like giving up an entire day to do it. So, I refused for the longest time. In January, I suddenly found myself in the mood to prep […]
It feels like February has just flown by. Maybe it’s the fact that my husband is out of town. Maybe it’s the fact that things are picking up for spring. Whatever the cause, the stress has been weighing me down and I’m having a hard time keeping up with responsibilities. Since things have been so […]
Like so many people, I’m concerned with all of the “crap” we’re surrounding ourselves with every day. I like to say that we are the gatekeepers to our home. We decide what comes in, and what stays out. My biggest focus is providing a healthy and safe environment for my family, and the last thing […]
I don’t mean to brag, but my oldest daughter was probably the best sleeper in the world. In fact, I think I probably did brag about that a few times. Because I was awesome, obviously. Then, my youngest came along. And, she hated sleep from day one. She’s four, now, and still has a hard time falling asleep […]
The last few months, I’ve really been struggling with my time management. I’m not really sure how it happened, but suddenly I’m struggling to get everything done on time. Blog posts aren’t getting published, deadlines are barely being met, and I realize at 6 pm that I didn’t pull out anything for dinner. It’s overwhelming, […]
Today, I want to share my yoga journey, and what yoga means to me. I’m not an instructor, or even someone that knows a whole lot about yoga from an official standpoint. I’m just a girl, who fell in love with a practive, who’s trying to make it a lifestyle. Eventually I’d love to become […]
I have a confession for you. I’ve been keeping a huge secret on this blog. Not intentionally, though. See, yoga is a big part of my life. It wasn’t until my friend and yoga instructor, Melody, asked me to write a guest post for her that I realized I’d never discussed it on my blog! […]
Can I tell you a story about why I started working for myself? It was nearly a decade ago now (holy, moly!) and I’d left the traditional workforce to be a stay-at-home mom. Eventually, we wanted the extra income, though, but I didn’t want to go back to work. I wanted to be my own […]
I love talking about health related topics on here, but one that I have avoided until now is weight loss. Weight plays a big roll in our overall health, but I’ve never really felt “qualified” to talk about it. I’m recommitting to a new healthy weight loss goal, though, and wanted to share the journey! […]
