My diet over these last two weeks have consisted of A…

Our favorite ways to enjoy kale: lightly sauteed, thrown in a smoothie, salads and kale chips! The possibilities are endless when it comes to chip flavors and since we’ve been on a big…

Motherhood Truth: “Picky Eaters”
Since becoming a mother, I have faced more criticism in these last three years than my entire 36 years combined. From our parenting style, to lifestyle choices and what we feed our child. Social media has a way of distorting reality – more often than not, unrealistic pictures are painted leaving some of us more open and…

TRUTH: Kindness Matters
Hello, friends! Let me first preface this post by saying this is purely my opinion and not everyone is going to agree with what I’ve written here.
