I am.   Seriously. Over. It. Everywhere I look it’s all about diet – even Oprah (who I frankly never thought would go there, did. And she’s happy, so who am I to judge, right?). My social media feed is filled with it, magazines, newspaper, commercials, blog posts, everything, everywhere, all the time! What the HULA?! Can a mama get a break? Just a hot second to reevaluate herself before her daughter’s start asking her Read More

Do you Infuse your Water? If not, giiiiirl, you gotta get on this train! Water is uber important for your body, your brain, and is a key component to good health and weight management.   It helps your skin look better, your digestion improve, your bloating decrease, increases your energy, helps you to focus better, and the list goes on and on. Additionally, many of us are actually thirsty when we think we are hungry. Read More

Could you do it? If you follow me on Instagram, you may know what I’m talking about… Yes, I am a health coach, but I am also a mom, a wife, a sister, daughter, friend and so many other things, and I have a life, and sometimes, life get’s in the way. And I forget things… basic things… like water. Our bodies are up to 60% water.  But, our brains and our heart are about Read More

Hot and sour soup is one of my all time favorites!   It’s: Quick Easy Light Spicy Healthy Fast YUUUUUUUUMMY Which pretty much sums up what good food means to me! I often make it on the weekend or a Monday morning for me to eat for lunch during the week.   I honestly have never let me kids try it because when they were little it was too spicy, and now that they are Read More

I make granola bars pretty often, and while I love my regular recipe, it has lots of ingredients and there’s chopping involved and well, frankly, sometimes… Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That! So, this is my quick go to for snack bars in a jiffy!   They cool almost instantly so they are ready in a flash, and they hold together really well (due to the fact that they are nearly 1/3 peanut butter)!   Read More

Yup – Fo Realz! Jesus – I cannot believe I’m about to actually type this, buuuuuut – here goes… There was a time I was afraid.  Well, I wasn’t actually afraid, I was freakin’ terrified. You see everything I know about food, I learned on my own.   All.of.it.   I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist, or a chiropractor, or a naturopath or a chef, I’m just a mom whose kids were sick and Read More

Holidays often end with people sitting around complaining about how full they are and about how much they ate.  Often times, the complaining is followed by exhaustion and ultimately a nap because their bodies need to rest so that they can break down and digest all of the food that they just ate.   You see, eating is hard work on your body.   The chewing is the easy part, breaking down the food into Read More

“Mommy, are you exercising to lose weight?” …Que the heart sinking… That’s what my five year old asked me yesterday as she was helping me work out.   Now, let that sink in for a minute… …Ugh… …back to the moment… A lump rose in my throat. My heart stopped. I froze and I was pretty sure I was going to burst into tears. Of course my first reaction was to go directly to the Read More

It’s a real question.   No joke.  Just an honest question. And before you blow me off like some crazy woman, let me ask you this … (and please take a moment to really answer it honestly)… How did you feel on Halloween when you ate candy, or treats at a party, or whatever you inevitably indulged in? If you were one of the very few people who didn’t eat anything “extra” over the weekend?  How Read More

Does the Candy Fairy come to your house? Before we start – just wanted to take a quick side note to say that – these two beautiful Elsa’s are my daughter and niece as last year’s fabulous rendition of Elsa. Ok – back to the fairy… She comes to our house on Halloween night and Easter night.   Personally, she is one of my favorite fairies.  I mean, yes, the Tooth Fairy who comes and takes Read More
