How to Be Healthy & Happy
Okay, so I love eating healthy but don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy treats and yes, eat French fries every once in a while.

I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s Resolutions – in fact, this year I actually didn’t make one. Instead, I decided to focus on finding the best balance for me. This is a different approach than I took last year when I promised myself I would go to the gym (that…
Read MoreWhat is Adrenal Fatigue?
I’ve been struggling with adrenal fatigue for over a year now, but when I was diagnosed with Hashimotos nearly 4 years ago, I thought that was it. I would get my meds (and get off and back on them), and feel better. I would lose weight, sleep again, and be “me.” What is Adrenal Fatigue? …but…

I’ve dubbed this year my Year of Rest, but I’m finding I’m not all that good at resting. My body is so used to running at full-throttle all the time that I’m finding it hard to power down. It’s going to take some practice to get into the habit of allowing myself the rest I…
Read MoreMy One Word for 2017 + Why I’m Saying No More and Yes Less
A few weeks ago a friend asked me what my word for 2017 was going to be. My gut reaction was to think in terms of my business, the blog, and where I want to be this time next year. Should I focus on motivation? Or maybe I could aspire to be extremely successful. Perhaps fit would be…

Our clocks “fall back” November 6, 2016, which means that there will be less daylight. Now, I’m the first to admit that I have a special hatred for Daylight Savings Time in general…and not because a majority of my work revolved around sleep for nearly 5 years. It’s more because I don’t understand the take an…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Clif Bar & Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. While I don’t work in an office, I most definitely work from home, and I work very hard. I still need healthy tips for the working mom as much as anyone. This means…
Read MoreGetting Healthy Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming
If you ask anyone who’s been considering switching to a healthier lifestyle, what has been holding them up? Chances are, they will say either: they don’t have the time, or they don’t know where to even begin. I know that even one small part of getting healthy can seem daunting enough to make you want…

Last week was the worst. Not because we were sick, but because I was dealing with the “red tide.” What, you’ve never heard someone call a period that? There are a lot of names, actually. Want to hear some more? Periods. Menstruation. Aunt Flo. Shark Week. Whatever you want to call it, fifty percent of the population…
Read More3 Health Benefits of Pokemon Go
This weekend, we spent nearly 8 hours walking around parks playing Pokémon Go with the kids…okay fine. They played on the playground and Ish and I took turns hitting Pokéstops, Pokégyms, and capturing Pikachu. Because that happened and I completely freaked out. First of all, you should definitely NOT download the app (it’s free) if you count…
