I was recently placing a Thrive Market order and noticed that you can narrow your search by "shop by diet". I personally don't follow any specific diet plan, but I was curious the options they offered. There are a lot of diet options (which I think is great for people who do have specific dietary needs), but it got me thinking how overwhelming this might feel for some. As a Registered … [Read more...]

My Recent Fall Fashion Purchases
free people tunic | jeans | boots Recently, I feel like most of my energy has been spent on getting the house together and decorated for fall and my fall fashion finds have taken a back seat. Well, fear not because that all changed over the past few days when I did some scouring for everything I feel like I'm missing in my wardrobe right now. From a new pair of combat boots (I know, not for … [Read more...]

Alix I saw your stories about Vital Proteins...what are your thoughts on the Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen? I think Vital Proteins is an awesome clean source of collagen protein. I've only tried their beauty collagen once and it was super clumpy, so I gave up. I'm sure I did something wrong with how I mixed it in, but it seemed too complicated for me and I have just always stuck with the OG … [Read more...]
Motherhood Update: The Feisty Fours!
I haven't done a motherhood update since Quinn turned 3 last summer, so now that we've entered what I like to call the "feisty fours" I thought it was time for an update! I also write these posts because I think it's helpful for other moms, that might be having similar challenges, to know they aren't alone and nothing is "wrong" with their child. General Thoughts: When Quinn hit ~3.5 I … [Read more...]
Apple Watch vs. Garmin Venu: My Honest Review
sweatshirt | leggings | sneaks | sunnies First of all, this post is in no way sponsored (I wish it was!) and these opinions are strictly my own based upon my experience over the last month :) I recently made the switch from the Apple Watch to the Garmin Venu and today I want to give my honest feedback and review of my new smart watch. Why did I make the switch? To be perfectly honest, it … [Read more...]

I'm looking for a new juicer...what one do you have? Heather has this one and likes it but doesn't use it everyday so doesn't mind having to clean all of the parts once in a while! I am sure there are nicer ones but this one works for how often I use it! Alix has this one and it does the job when I'm making celery juice or other blends. I don't use it more than a few times a month, so like … [Read more...]
Back to School: Steps to Build Your Child’s Immune System
Whether or not your child is heading back into the classroom this fall, it's important to be educated on ways you can increase your child's immune system. While vitamins and supplements cannot prevent your child from getting a virus like COVID-19 or the flu, it's important to keep your child's immune system primed and ready to fight off whatever comes their way. Today I'm sharing steps you can … [Read more...]
Life Lately
It's hard to believe that summer is coming to a close and crisp, cooler weather is on the horizon (if we could just get rid of this smoke). While 2020 hasn't been my favorite year ever, I never want to forget it either. It has taught me many lessons and forced me to slow down. It has shown me just how little I really need and as long as my family is healthy, we don't need much. I spent every … [Read more...]

Do you feel like the Bala ankle weights add a lot more to your workout? The ankle weights add a sneaky good burn when we take Melissa Wood Health yoga/pilates classes. I've done the classes with and without the 1lb weights and can say it adds a significant burn and enhances the workout. I tried using me 3lb barre weights in the beginning, but those get too heavy for her workouts. Here is … [Read more...]
10 Fall Recipes I Can’t Wait to Try
Have you had your first pumpkin spice latte yet? Not my jam, but last weekend I treated myself to my first festive fall drink at Starbucks. I ordered a grande almond milk iced chai tea latte (2 pumps chai + 1 pump pumpkin) and it was so tasty! It's still pretty hot in Seattle right now (not complaining!), so I haven't made the full transition into fall just yet. However, I did pick up a few … [Read more...]
