Did you see this?! This week I did a fun, livestream cooking class on how I make 4 summer meals in 30 minutes (or less) (yes…. you read that right)— and how you can do the same. It’s one of my favorite little secrets to easier summer cooking, so that you can save time, have […]

I have a little secret for you today. The key to healthy meals isn’t buying the most expensive organic produce or luxury meal delivery kits. It’s not spending hours prepping to plan your meals for the week or ONLY eating certain foods. Nope. The key to eating healthy is knowing how to cook in a […]

So, one of the biggest MYTHS around eating healthy is that it has to cost a ton of money. That it means only shopping at expensive grocery stores, or buying specialty brands.  And while those do exist (and they can be helpful for finding certain items easier), I’m a full believer that you can find […]

You know those women who just seem like they’ve got it all together? Of course, NO one has it all perfect— but they do have this air about them…. like they’re unbothered by the small things and so easily find ways to prioritize themselves while also loving on their families and chasing their dreams. Even […]

There have been so many times through the years where I couldn’t let go of an extreme all or nothing approach to so many aspects of life. School, work, food, exercise, being a good wife/mom/daughter/friend— you name it. Maybe you’ve felt that same temptation come sneaking in that says, If you can’t do X perfectly, […]

So, today I want to talk SLEEP. Why? Because we live in this always-on, always-up, always plugged-in world… and it can really take it’s toll  on us, even if we don’t realize. This past year, especially so, where there’s never been more screen time, more time at home, and more reasons than ever that we […]

Ok, ok. Two days in a row of Spring sunshine here in Seattle and I’m already dreaming of more 🙂 I don’t know about you, but there’s always something about Spring that gets me excited to turn a page, refresh all the things around me, and bring a little more light and joy into my […]

I love talking about natural swaps to make, because you guys all know what I big believer I am in making tiny changes over time. That it’s really about the things you’re doing in daily life that add up to your health overall, how you feel, and how your body is operating from the inside […]

When was the last time you let yourself actually SLOW DOWN? To breathe more. To not rush. And to delight in the little things you notice and see and experience when you finally do. It’s the best thing motherhood has taught me, for sure….. and this last year too. Because here’s the thing: you’re not […]

Over the last seven months, I feel like my heart has really come to notice so many things that I didn’t used to. I’ve spent a lot of time these past few months, really paying attention to and continuing to get educated on unpacking my white privilege, and understanding more about the systems that continue […]

So, I don’t know about you, but I used to go into the New Year with these huge, overhauled goals for how I was going to change my routines and up my efficiency. Can you relate to that one? I figured you might. But, here’s the thing: that has really changed for me over the […]

As you guys know, having little mini rituals in my day is a huge part of my life (and how I stay sane as I switch between mama mode to ceo mode to creative mode to solo/ myself mode, back into mama mode, and then wife/partner mode every single day). From my morning matcha to […]
