A little beet & green juice pick me up! Such a beautiful Fall color! ???? 2 organic Cucumbers + 5 or 6 large organic celery stalks both for the base + 2 large red beets + handful organic cilantro + 2 handfuls of organic spinach all in my Hurom. This made about 3 cups this size… (approximately 12 ounces each ?). Lemon ? would be a nice addition. This is pretty sweet with no fruit (hello beets!!!), but a green apple?would be a nice touch as… Read more »
Life has been so crazy good lately, but there has been no slowing down it feels like. It is one of those amazing times of great things happening – like launching my wellness coaching, partnering with new clients on their wellness dreams, launching as a Beautycounter educator as well as life as a full-time, working momma. Again, all such wonderful things, BUT how do you maintain health + wellness + sleep + good self-care during times like this? I thought… Read more »

Okay guys, I have promised to share this Summery Tarragon Chicken Salad recipe a gagillion times and now I am!!! Summer is here, so perfect timing – right? You see, I often make recipes without really measuring. I know, I am sorry. Every time I would go to make this, I would throw it together, take photos and be like, “Dang it! I forgot to measure again!” Well, not this time. I measured for you. You’re welcome. No, really. Every… Read more »
Happy Mother’s Day!!! This image of my oldest helping his little brother is something so simple that happened last weekend, yet has tugged on me since. He didn’t know I saw this or that I took a picture yet did this anyway ❤. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding things I’ll ever get to have the privilege to do, yet in contrast at times it often feels exhausting, demanding & even thankless. For me I think I… Read more »

HOLY MOLY GUACAMOLE! I mean, that face! I don’t know about you, but guacamole is one of my favorite things, EVER! I am pretty sure that was carried on down to my boys as well. In this picture, my littlest dude was caught with his face in a bowl of this nutrient dense goodness. Cheeks for days! EAT UP! Avocados are a nutrient dense food, meaning they are power packed with tons of nutrients. This creamy fruit is a good source… Read more »

Here is my thought… Why not make the foundation for two weeknight meals at one time? Who needs to save time? ME!!! Yep, over here – more time please! I am pretty sure we can all relate to that. I have a couple of no fail, go-to recipes that are perfect and… Read more »
Wow, that was a long break! Oh, how I have missed writing and connecting with my readers. This blog and you all mean the world to me! We decided, right around the time of my last blog post in March, that we were going to put our home on the market. It was quite the experience. I learned so much about what it takes to sell a home as well as my own limits throughout the process. We… Read more »
Today was one of those days when I felt like every moment challenged me as a mom. Mamas, we’ve all had those, right? Nothing really epic happened, just lots of little things on top of too many demands and stressors. Looking back, I simply lost sight of the good in each moment and let the power struggles get the best of me… A negative spiral ensued. Now that I am sitting, and am able, or I should say am allowing… Read more »
