hat | sunglasses | top | necklace | backpack The sock boot seems to be on trend for fall and I'm not sure I can pull it off. Have you seen any purchase-worthy pairs and how would you style them? Neither of us purchased any sock boots for fall but I have seen them styled in a way that has me rethinking my decision. However, I feel like the sock boot trend is so specific and I'd need to have an … [Read more...]

I spent my days educating kids and their families about food, nutrition, and best practices to ensure these kiddos were getting adequate nutrition.

Wellness Wednesday || 7 Quick and Nutritious Breakfast Ideas
Yes, I know you could just search Pinterest on this topic and get like a million different ideas, but I’m going to give you my top 7 anyways. Why? Because I need the motivation myself. I don’t know what it is about summer (that’s what I’m blaming it on) but I have not been motivated to meal plan, prep, or get very creative in the kitchen. I’ve been making the most basic oatmeal or having a Perfect … [Read more...]
