This weekend, I did a little experiment. I deleted the Instagram app from my phone (I deleted FB long ago). Over the past few weeks, I found myself mindlessly opening IG while doing the following: – Taking James out in the yard, any time of day or night – Standing in the kitchen – Sitting […]
Confession time. I recently went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned for the first time in 8 years. EIGHT. Like clockwork, I bring the kids for their dental appointments every 6 months. When I brought them last time, I said to the receptionist, “I need to make an appointment for myself – I […]
See this photo? That was me attempting to do legs up the wall pose. But for some reason, my 87-pound rescue dog, James Earl Jones, thought I was inviting him to pounce on me. LOL. Legs up the wall pose is one of the easiest yoga poses to do, and has so many benefits for […]

One Thursday morning in 2011, I saw my friend Charlie Gilkey tweet, “What can you do today to make your weekend more spacious?”. As a mom of three kids, my weekends were anything but spacious. They were the opposite of spacious. They were filled with laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking, and yard work. Sometimes, school […]
I’m going to be honest here. If I never had to make dinner again, it would be too soon. LOL. After 22 years of marriage and 16 years of motherhood, I’m totally over cooking. Buuuut, it’s important to me to make healthy meals for my husband and kiddos. That’s why I came up with a meal […]
