Probably my least favorite gifts to give are stocking stuffers, gift trades, and coming up with ideas for teachers, etc – not because I don’t love to give people gifts. I LOVE to give gifts! But I personally am not a fan of trinkets, clutter, useless items, or cheap things that will end up breaking, […]
I so dreaded the tween/teen phase around Christmas and birthdays b/c I thought they would be hard to shop for, but I’m actually finding that the past couple of years I have had a lot more gift ideas for my oldest daughter than I do the other kids. This seems odd, considering we are obviously […]
If you’ve followed me for a while, you may have noticed that I’m passionate about fair trade and am pretty intentional about the products I purchase for myself and my family, as well as for my home and pantry. Years ago I attended my first Noonday party and learned about slave and child labor and […]
Sharing today THREE exercises for PF relaxation – We so often hear about pelvic floor weakness, and it’s true that this is very common, but did you know that many women struggle also with pelvic floor TIGHTNESS? To be clear – strong and tight are NOT the same thing! In fact, you can be tight […]
As I was helping my youngest get a dress on she stated with a smile on her face, “Now I’m beautiful!” I said, “Yes! But you were beautiful BEFORE you put the dress on. You are beautiful in whatever you wear, all the time!” And she simply smiled at me and we moved on. But […]
Earlier this year I shared a round-up of comfy and cute sandals for summer, and I thought it would be fun to share some shoes that I think meet this category for fall as well! As a PT, I’ve always been passionate about quality footwear b/c having well-supported feet not only makes our feet feel […]
I’ve had this recipe pinned for years, and I FINALLY made it a couple of weeks ago. It’s quintessential fall if you are into that sorta thing, 😉 it’s actually pretty simple, and it doesn’t make a huge batch, so you won’t be left with tons of leftovers, especially if you have 5 kids like […]
Have you ever wished in hindsight that you would have talked to your provider about something before it happened, or found out you had options but you weren’t aware of them? Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of postpartum women and heard their birth stories. I’m also trained in intrapartum care, so I have the […]
I’m sure most people can think of times in their lives that felt like a low, hard spot. If you haven’t, you may just need to live a little longer. 🙂 We aren’t ever promised a life without hardship. Though I can point to a few times in my life that certainly felt like low […]
TWO YEARS! My last “baby” is already two years old, and just like a child turning two, it’s hard to believe where the time went! A business baby is similar to a real baby in that it can cause some sleepless nights, lots of wondering “what do I do now?” and also many awesome, sweet, […]
