Picture this: you’re curled up on the couch with a cozy blanket and cup of your favorite tea. Or glass of (good quality) wine. Or in a glorious epsom salt bath after a long day. Or laying back in your bed, in those few minutes before you fall fast asleep. Or even better? Snuggled up […]

Just like that, we find ourselves at the beginning of a new year. Flipping the calendar feels like the start of a new season. And there are seasons for everything: fast paced and slow, longer days and shorter ones, seasons of resting and seasons of going full speed ahead. Seasons are a good thing. So […]

Here we are at the end of another beautiful, impactful & FULL year. If you’re reading this, you’re probably ready for the reset of a fresh year. Not that we need to overhaul and “resolve” to change our lives in the New Year. But something about a fresh start is so life giving, whether it’s […]

Need a last-minute gift idea this holiday season? TBH, I think one of the most underrated but special gifts you could give someone is a book. For kids, it’s the best entertainment and way to learn while exploring stories and creative illustrations. And for adults, it’s such a beautiful way to escape from real life […]

Tis the season for bugs, sniffles and colds! And not gonna lie, we’re feeling it over here with two toddlers running around and passing along the germs they pick up from who-knows-where.

With sales on sales kicking off and the holidays around the corner, there’s a lot of STUFF coming at us these days. Whew, ‘tis the season, right?

  Real talk: have you ever not done something you know is good for you, because you think it has to be a certain way, look a certain way, or last a certain amount of time for it to “count”? Yeah. Hello. Me, too. I used to be the queen of it (and all kinds […]

Eeeek… It’s here, it’s here! My team and I have been hard at work behind the scenes all summer long working on something *just* for you… the new and improved Simply Real Health: The Shop!  (And through the weekend, you can use code LABORDAY at checkout to get 15% off any SRH products *not including […]

One thing that is a nonnegotiable for me is having a routine that is FLEXIBLE. I’ve shared my morning and evening routines on here before, but like so many things in life– when the dynamic or schedule in my life shifts, so does the routine. I have two babes now, a bustling business + life… […]

Kids and snacks, snacks and kids… some things just can’t *not* go together! It’s no secret that as a family, we LOVE food.  I’ve tried my best to nurture a love of REAL food in them by introducing and exposing them to allllll kinds of high quality foods (in a calm, easy, no pressure way […]
