Hello my dear Besties!  I’m sorry I’ve been MIA the past few days…you know, spring break has a way of doing that!  But not to worry, I’ll be back in full swing next week, and I’ve got lots of fun ideas for posts!   For today, I’d like to address a topic that many of […]

By now, I’m sure you all know about the paleo diet, right?  Also known as the caveman diet, it helps people eat leaner and cleaner by asking the question, “WWACE?”  What Would A Caveman Eat?  😉  If Fred Flintstone wouldn’t have had access (here’s looking at you cheese, processed sugar, and grains), you shouldn’t be […]

Well Besties, if you read yesterday’s post, you know I feel pretty strongly about rest.  I know you have probably heard the “this is how much sleep you need” lecture numerous times, but many of us still struggle to get enough shut eye at night.  Whatever the reason, you can count on a nap to […]

Today I want to tackle a critical part of self care that is often overlooked:  why rest is important for mental health and wellness. At what point in our lives do we learn that rest is not good?  That it is not and should not be a priority?  Kids don’t even think about resting.  Babies […]

Welcome to another week, my friends!  This week is going to be a super busy one for me as I’m going out of town for a much needed sister weekend on Thursday.  I’m beyond pumped about having some precious time with my sis (and my aunts, too!) but I have about a million things to […]

Even though the northeast is supposed to get pummeled with a legit blizzard tomorrow, I’ve got spring on my mind!  Spring is the time I start looking forward to outdoor workouts after being cooped up all winter.  Don’t get me wrong, I love spin class and a good home workout, but getting a nice run […]

I’ve got a little #MotivationMonday post for you all today, in the form of a workout playlist that will PUMP (clap Hanz and Franz style) YOU UP!  Note:  Please google “Hanz and Franz SNL” if you didn’t get that joke.  And don’t tell me if you did, as I will feel super old.   If […]

Since it’s Monday and I stayed up way too late watching the Oscars last night (still getting over the Best Picture craziness!), I thought I’d do a post on that haven of caffeine we all know and love – Starbucks.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of all things coffee, and I have yet […]

I don’t know how the weather is where you live, but we were blessed with some WAY unseasonably warm weather this weekend and were all too happy to make the most of it!  Hard to believe a week ago we had a major snow storm!  But I’ll take it!  We took the kids to Central […]
