I’ve felt uncomfortable in my body since having my daughter. Sad, but true. I’m a runner. I eat healthy and try to follow a paleo-ish diet. Dairy is limited and I stay away from processed foods. But it wasn’t helping my extreme fatigue or my problem losing weight. “You simply need to work out harder and dial in your diet.”… View Post
I just ran my first race since the Rock n Roll Seattle marathon back in 2016! Seriously, how has it been that long ago?! The Happy Girl Run, 5k, 10k, and half, was this past Saturday and all I can say is, wow, what a race! When NOW© decided to partner with and sponsor me in the Happy Girl Run I… View Post
I love a good mom date. You and another mom friend or two escaping to have a day, or maybe even just a few hours to yourself hanging out and doing something, gasp, child free! I’m all for a movie every now and again, but I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the last time I went to a movie and… View Post
Fall screams apples! Well, it probably screams pumpkins more, but apples are a close second. Preserving apples has always been part of my fall fun. If you’re rolling your eyes at “preserving & fun” in the same sentence you’re not alone. In all reality though, it can be one of the cornerstone, dare I say enjoyable, fall projects you do… View Post

Visiting farms, taking fall photos of the family, picking out decor for the changing season, warm cups of coffee and pumpkin spice everything. It also brings a crazy packed… View Post
MCT oil and it’s amazing benefits Before we scrape the surface of MCT oil I just wanna say: Hey guys! How’s summer treating you? My gosh it’s flying by fast. I looked at the clock last night when dusk hit and it wasn’t even 9pm yet. I shed a little tear. But, I guess that means fairs, hot cocoa, pumpkin… View Post
To soon for a fall roundup post? I hear ya. But, if you consider the fact that Hobby Lobby has had their Christmas decor up since June, well then I might be a little behind. No? It’s all about perspective. 😉 That being said, I decided to throw together a few fun posts from last year centered around autumn. Points… View Post
Happy birthday month to me! A cancer, I was born on the 18th of July 1985. Gosh time flies! 33 years old? How (and when) did that happen? I was on the fence about writing this one, because I’m no expert in life. But, I do feel I’ve learned a lot that has helped shape me into the woman I… View Post
