This week flew by and with daylight savings, we just can't quite get our bearings. Oh, and waking up early for workouts. Not. Happening (at least for Heather) ;) But Seattle temps are rising and the extra sunlight in the afternoon is SO NEEDED, especially with the kids. We can already feel a shift in our energy and mood: sun=happiness! And it's Friday.. PRAISE! Time for happy hour :) What are … [Read more...]
Sugar Talk Part II: Artificial Sweeteners, Sugar Alcohols & More…
Last week I discussed natural vs. added sugar (unrefined and refined) read it here if you missed it. Today I felt it was important to also define artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols. As consumers continue to be more aware of their sugar intake, the popularity of sugar substitutes continue to rise as well. Folks trying to avoid the extra caloric intake and/or hormonal response associated … [Read more...]
How to Conquer NYC in 3 Days
Outfit deets: hat | sunglasses | tee | coat | leggings | shoes | bag I am currently on a plane home from Boston and I can't wait to see my two boys-but damn, what a fun trip Britt and I had. We spent three nights in NYC and three nights in Boston and it was glorious. We haven't traveled together since before Jackson was born and it was such a good reminder why we chose each other in the first … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
TGIF! Did this week seem really long to anyone else? While Heather is busy living it up in NYC and Boston this weekend (her food, shopping, and champs insta stories are giving me serious FOMO) I'll be holding down the fort in Seattle. Good news though..the weather in Seattle is looking quite promising...hello sunshine + low 60's (never thought I'd be so excited for low 60's). I'll cheers to … [Read more...]
Sugar Talk Part I: Natural Sugar vs Added Sugar
Sugar seems to be at the root of all that is wrong in the health world these days…obesity, diabetes, cancer, acne, and maybe even why your kiddo is acting like a circus animal. My intention is to never demonize a food or food group because food is not inherently “good” or “bad” it’s just food. Black and white thinking about food or nutrients is dangerous. I've worked with many clients around … [Read more...]
Currently Craving
You thought I was talking about food, didn't you? I'll leave that up to Alix. For me - it's all about the clothes. I don't know about you guys but I feel like it's such a weird time in the stores. The in between season thing is a real drag and while I want to add some pieces to my wardrobe for spring, I can't find anything in the actual stores. Enter online shopping - what a dream. Revolve and … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
Bring on the weekend! We're busy bees over here - Alix is heading to OC for a wedding and I'm throwing Jackson a 3rd birthday party and entertaining out of town guests. After all of that, my husband and I are jetting off to NYC and Boston sans kids so I'll be busy organizing & packing. We have a pretty packed itinerary but send me any "musts" for the city - restaurants, museums, parks, shows? … [Read more...]
February Grocery Store Finds
It is the last week of February which means we are SO close to Spring and hopefully some warmer temps! At the end of every month I plan to roundup my favorite grocery store finds. These products might not necessarily be brand new, but they are new to me or something I'm super into! Hopefully you will also discover something new here that you might want to try and spice things up in your … [Read more...]
My Top Registry Picks + What to Expect Postpartum
It's been a while since I've had a newborn (a year to be exact) but don't get it twisted - I remember the sleepless nights, spit up and blow outs like it was yesterday. I have successfully kept a 1 year old and 3 year old alive and still going strong so I feel like I have some credibility when it comes to baby registry items ;) And I have been to so many baby showers in recent years/months/weeks … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, which can only mean one thing: cocktails. Cheers to making it through the week, ladies! We hope you have something fun planned but if not, just remember to take some time for yourself. For us, that means roaming the Target aisles solo. Is there anything better? Nope. Below is another round of Q&A - Heather is tackling the fashion forward questions while Alix is … [Read more...]
