SUMMER. It just hits different, you know? It’s forever been my all-time favorite season— with the sunnier, warmer, longer days, the excuse to get outside *all the time*, gardens bursting with veggies, and colorful and simple meals. With little ones, summer is extra-busy, but also extra-beautiful to me. It’s throwing a bunch of snacks, toys […]

Let’s be honest… on the days I’m NOT in leggings and a workout tank with a bun on top of my head, I want to feel a little more pulled together! Most of the time, I’m running around with 1 to 2 babies hanging off of me, and as much as I love that aesthetic […]

Something I can always get behind? A little spring style refresh.

Simply Real Health Holiday Gift Guide 2021 This year has certainly been a big one. Even if you haven’t had any life-changing moments, sometimes (most often, really) it’s just the small things that add up. Daily walks in the sunshine. Moving your body in a way that feels good. Spending time with the people you […]

My approach to cooking lately is all about being playful, but also resourceful. As in, how many veggies and healing, whole ingredients can I pack into our meals in the LEAST amount of time? It’s like a little game I play with myself. And it’s why I’m soooo thankful to have a whole catalogue of […]

You guys seem to love these grocery hauls, and Thrive is ALWAYS a favorite in our house. In my latest Thrive Market order, I had to get some regular household stuff, a few basics and just some other random things. It’s really nice to have it all arrive in one box, and that you don’t […]

I can *never* get enough of summer. The extra sunshine. The longer days. The beach trips. The walks with flowers blooming all around. The bustling trips to the farmer’s market. The FOOD. Oh, the food. That alone makes me giddy once we start inching away from the soggy spring in the PNW and getting closer […]

Just like any big transition, shifting seasons can be a lot. On our bodies, on our nervous systems, on our mental capacity and stress loads. Mid-points in the seasons too, can be the same,  But there’s also wisdom to it. An ancient act of moving through the year and embracing the seasonal phases with intention. […]

Christmas & two little holiday weeks coming right up… ✨ Even if all is not calm and bright in your world, I hope you can find some space this week to just appreciate the small joys and glimpses of goodness. A few of mine? A home to stay warm in. Bundled up walks (even in […]
