Thinking about trying out yoga? Check out my favorite yoga gear essentials for a great home practice! I recently wrote about my personal goals for the year, and shared a lot about my recent yoga journey. While I attend a lot of community based classes, and have a few months of private lessons lined up, […]
Is it just me, or do kids require even more work as they get older? So much for that idea of them becomming more independent, right? Instead, my days are filled to the brim with activities, school work, and messy rooms. Recently, a friend asked me how I “do it all.” The short answer is, “I don’t.” […]

Do you have a crunchy friend in your life? You know the kind…She likes natural products, alternative healthcare, farmer’s markets, avoids synthetics and all of that other “hippie” stuff.

It’s official. Christmas decorations are coming down today. That means, I’m spending a lot of my time today cleaning every inch of my home. Does anyone else feel like they need to deep clean when they change out decorations? It can’t be just me, right? I’ve become sort of a clean freak as I’ve grown, and […]
