On average, women put on 168 different chemicals on their body per day, according to the Environmental Working Group. Many of those chemicals are under-regulated or not regulated at all. There's stuff we put on our bodies daily that is outlawed in other countries. I've decided to make a shift. The more I learn about … Continue reading Clean(er) Beauty
EMFs, 5g & Wireless
Shared from Instagram.... We’re not putting our phones to our ears anymore, right? While the research is still inconclusive on EMFs (depending on who you ask, anyway!), one way to mitigate your risk (in case all of us worried hippies are right), is to keep your phone away from your body when you’re using it … Continue reading EMFs, 5g & Wireless
Having It All & Doing It All
It's an all too common question for us, "can women really have it all?"... a question I've struggled to answer and have changed my mind on often. While the internet has no shortage of articles and opinions that try to answer it for me, some in support (Lean In!) and some against, none seem to … Continue reading Having It All & Doing It All

Saying Yes, Saying No, & Finding the Balance
Just before having my first baby, I entered into a season of "no." I was about to be a first time mom with a demanding full-time job and I knew I wanted some margin to figure out the rhythm of the stage of life I was about to walk in to. I stepped down from … Continue reading Saying Yes, Saying No, & Finding the Balance
My Favorite Kitchen Tools
I got a new air fryer yesterday. I immediately used it to make sweet potato fries for the kids then "fried" broccoli and then bacon. Wow. It was all so good! It was nice to use one tool for all three things (less clean up!). It also cooked much faster than a traditional oven. I … Continue reading My Favorite Kitchen Tools
Keto Friendly Taco Tuesday
I love a great taco. Eating fish tacos on flour tortillas mayyyy be one of the things I miss most from my carbaliscious days. But! Today, I had the best low carb taco I have ever had. That's a big statement, I know. Tonight's shredded beef tacos on a low carb tortilla was a winning … Continue reading Keto Friendly Taco Tuesday
You Do Deserve It!
Girls, this one's for you (but guys, I invite you to stick around too). I spent more than 12 hours in my car this week. It was as charming as you might imagine. The bright side to all that windshield time was that I had the opportunity to consume a ton of great content that … Continue reading You Do Deserve It!
How We (try to) Stay Healthy
We're at the tail end of cold & flu season, hallelujah! Our little family has made it through this season without any major illnesses (but let's not jinx it). While we've had our fair share of runny noses and occasional coughs, we've been spared any sick visits or prescriptions, which is more than we can … Continue reading How We (try to) Stay Healthy
Breakfast for the Kids
I was stuck in a breakfast rut for the kids so I asked for ideas on Instagram and got some great ones (thank you!). We were doing organic, gluten free oatmeal with fruit and honey most days of the week (side note- my kids always preferred it raw, weird) but the more I learn about … Continue reading Breakfast for the Kids
