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...]
Happy Hour
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.

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...]
Happy Hour
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...]
My Most Worn Jewelry
I wear a combination of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings each day and for the most part a number of them don't come off even when I sleep or shower. These are quality pieces that can be layered or worn alone and think each is timeless and classic that will never go out of season or style. As you can tell, I'm a gold kind of girl but a number of these also come in silver or rose gold if … [Read more...]
August Favorites
A L I X Headbands I rarely do my hair these days, so a cute headband helps me feel a little more pulled together. It can also add a fun pop to a neutral outfit. Here are a few I really like for fall: Beauty Counter My post on Wednesday explained why and how I've taken steps to reduce toxic products in my house, so I've turned to Beauty Counter to help me because I know and trust … [Read more...]
Swaps I’ve Made to Reduce Toxins in Our Household
I've always been conscious of potential toxins in beauty and cleaning products and have tried "clean" products here and there, but have never really committed to it. A few months ago I wrote a blog post about how I'm working to "fix" my hormones. I explained that after working with a functional medicine doctor I was more motivated than ever to clean up the products I use and expose my family to. … [Read more...]
