In June I took on Robin Arzon's 3 for 31 challenge. Run three miles or workout for 30 minutes every day in June. I was used to working out 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes, occasionaly 30. Initially, the challenge felt nearly impossible. I was exhausted and ridiculously sore and I felt there was …
After publishing my post on looking put together as a busy mom, it hit me that I almost never take the time to put on full coverage foundation these days. This is amazing for me because a couple of years ago, I would never have left the house without a full face of makeup. Even …
Our plans for the Summer did not initially include a beach vacation. In fact we were thinking of a few fun staycation ideas around Colorado instead. When an opportunity presented itself to be seen by a well known physical therapist, specializing in Spina Bifida and innovative treatments, we jumped on it. She is located in …

My original Peloton review post has been one of my most popular on this site and I desperately wanted to follow it up with an impressive postpartum transformation. While I've been working …
Easter is about a month out which means it's time for all of the Easter bunnies out there to get to work. I have my picks rounded up for girls (5-7ish), boys (2-5ish), and babies (1-3ish). When I put together Easter baskets, I follow a general formula - a swimsuit, a cup, something for the …
As you probably know by now, our family loves books. We make the library a weekly trip if we can swing it. One of our very favorite ways to start each month is to swap out the children's books in our book nook. Usually these books are themed for whatever holiday (or event) is happening …
I've been posting my thoughts on the books I read on Instagram for a few months now. I've gotten one question several times - How do you read so much with three kids at home? A great question and one I didn't find an answer to until about a year ago. That is, before I …

Hi guys! Well… I never intended to take the last 9 months away from this space. But, I guess that’s just how these things happen. Life gets busy, other things take priority, and the little things you love get left behind. I really do love this little blog and I am beyond excited to pick …
Over the last week I’ve been given the opportunity to examine my own white privilege and make lasting changes in my own family. With two small children, I know the time is now to make sure they understand just how lucky they are, and learn to be accepting of all people regardless of race. While …
