Hey, friends! Well, we made it through the holiday season and into the new year. I am not a fan of doing fad diets (or diets at all, really). I eat clean, whole foods, with the occasional serving of ice cream or pizza. Moderation is key, right? The problem with moderation and sugar is that …

Finding the time and energy (and budget!) to feed our children healthy snacks can be exhausting. I’m not gonna lie, it’s just a lot sometimes. Healthy food is my ‘thing.’ We all have a ‘thing’ as a mom that we don’t want to ever budge on; sleep schedules, screen time, manners, healthy eating habits. Honestly, …

Happy Monday, friends! It’s no secret that I’m not a food blogger, because, well… I’m not a food blogger. However, I am a mommy blogger and these muffins that I’m going to share with you today are one of my favorites for mom life. I’ve come across many  recipes on Pinterest for healthy, blender muffins. …

How to Make a Fitness Plan as a Busy Mom Healthy eating and fitness have always been a passion of mine. Since becoming a mom, I’ve had to adjust my expectations and realities of how much I can actually accomplish. We can’t do it all; it’s impossible to keep the house cleaned, the children entertained …

I remember the first day that I switched to all natural deodorant.  I was teaching at a music studio in the middle of a sizzling hot midwest summer and we lost power.  Students were given the option to go home and reschedule their lesson or stay and learn by the light of our iPhones (until …

I’ve always given my children a vast assortment of vegetables.  I don’t force them to eat the food on their plate, but they aren’t allowed to choose something else for their meal.  I make exceptions of course; for example, Theo, my 3-year old, hates potatoes and always has.  Now, I grew up in a household …

Happy Monday, my friends!  I have spent the last few weeks researching and searching for the best skincare products to revamp my skin care regime for my Mama Care Monday series.  My goal for this past week was to do my entire skin care regime, with my fun new products- every single day.  I am a …

Last week I wrote a post that details the stressful season of life I am in with my kids. They are all in a phase where they need mommy so much. While I love them to pieces and do enjoy being needed, the constant whining has been wearing me down. When I am worn down, I …

I’ve been really struggling in the exercise department recently. I just can’t seem to make it a priority and find the time! I know what I need to do is form a habit of working out, so that’s exactly what I did! This past week, I exercised for 10 minutes a day.  It may not …
