A compassionate, mindful way of life.
Hello, my friends and happy February!! How are you?? I think last month I worked my body too hard – a little increased stress and not sleeping enough (which took a toll on my immune system) that I got sick! Started with a couple of days of fever, body aches and chills and ended with…

Hello, my friends and Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season and that this post finds you in good health (physically, mentally, and emotionally). December flew by so fast and normally I’m more organized with these “favorites” posts that I type reviews up as I try things so that…

Hello and happy Friday, my friends! A few years ago, while following an autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet, I created a super simple soup recipe that I pretty much lived on. As time went by and I was able to incorporate more ingredients/foods into my diet, this soup grew along with me! The best part about…

Happy December, sweet friends! I’m in complete disbelief that we’re in the final month of the year. How is that possible?! We had a very mild November with quite a few days still wearing short sleeves and sandals, which was very much enjoyed. Never for a second do I take for granted how lucky we…

If given the choice, I will 9 times out of 10 opt for a savory breakfast….especially during autumn and winter. For years I used to start my day with a smoothie (sometimes I still do), but as time went by, I noticed they didn’t keep me satisfied for very long AND they’re cold! Mornings here…

Happy SEPTEMBER, dear friends! We’re fast approaching my favorite season, but this has certainly been a good summer. August was especially good to us (minus a trip to urgent care!) with fun new finds, delicious recipes, devour-able books, beautiful hikes, AND a new addition to our little family! It’s been exactly one year since our…

There’s something about eating out of a bowl that I find both comforting and satisfying. It’s really a perfect vessel – it has a wall to hold pile in a wide variety of foods. Ice cream, stir-fry, salad, pasta, soup, and oatmeal! And what do all of those things have in common?? They’re all foods…
