Last October, I almost lost my dad to a heart attack. Almost. He had a 1% chance to live and he survived. A second chance to live life to the fullest. Last week, a spot on my foot was diagnosed with melanoma. Thankfully, they caught it early, and it hadn’t gotten into my bloodstream yet. …
I consider myself a health conscious newbie. I’m a student, and am constantly learning new ways to incorporate healthy living into my family’s day to day life.

Hey guys, I hope your weekend was better than ours. We struggled. Kids were sick, we were sick, and it felt like we were hanging on minute by minute! It’s days like this when I long to live closer to family so we could wave the white flag and ask for a little help. We did get out …
Where I’m from, the temps today are in the low 60’s and just yesterday a beautiful little yellow leaf fell right next to my bright pink tennis shoe as I was buckling my little in his car seat. My pumpkin spice candle is crackling downstairs. Fall is in the air. This morning I dressed the …
I mentioned last month that I was participating in a five month long program with CALIA by Carrie Underwood. I have to tell you, this is hands down one of my very favorite partnerships to date. In fact, I actually told Jake last week, that if he is ever looking to surprise me with something, …
About six months ago, my husband and I embarked on a journey together to pursue a healthy lifestyle.
