News flash!! I may be a little late to the party, but I’m newly obsessed with celery juice. Ok, maybe way late but hey, better late than never. This blend of Cucumber Lemon Celery Juice is now one of my favorite morning rituals. You can check out my recipe below. [Read more…]
It may be early spring, but it’s always a good time for a cup of hot (or cold) tea. This Homemade Ginger Tea has a unique taste that’s a combination of mild sweetness and pungent pepperiness. Just add a little honey to bring out the sweetness and cut down on the spiciness. There’s no right or wrong way to drink tea. It’s all delicious! [Read more…]
I’m always on the hunt for healthy and filling snacks to curb my appetite. Nut blends, like this Fall Trail Mix, are one of my favorite go-to snacks to grab when I’m on the move. They’re fast and filling and especially great for beach days, the park, or in between meals. I love to swap out ingredients depending on the season and [Read more…]

I love yoga. It’s become one of my favorite ways to relax my mind and body when I need it most. One thing that doesn’t relax my mind though– is thinking about all the nasty stuff that’s on my yoga mat, especially after an intense sweaty practice!

I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but I love getting that caffeine fix from my morning Matcha Latte without the [Read more…]
If you’re a raw cookie dough lover, like me, then you will love this Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus!
I have no shame in admitting my love of raw cookie dough. I’ve been known to eat an entire sheet of Nestle Tollhouse cookie squares—never actually baking them, as intended. Being that summer is right around the corner and so is beach season I thought I’d table my cookie dough obsession for the season and try out something a little more guilt-free. [Read more…]

Suddenly everything revolves around eating and sleep schedules, dirty diapers, mounds of laundry, potty training, human training, cars and trucks, boo-boos, Mickey, and Blippi.

And that’s ok because as long as I fit them in, I’m making progress. Progress that’s necessary for me to stay happy and healthy as a mom. [Read more…]
