When it comes to the holidays, gifting can be great….if it’s done with love & intention. That instead of just buying or gifting random stuff & things, I love to really think about things that that  make the people I love lives’ healthier (mentally, physically or emotionally). Or things that will improve the quality of […]

If one of your 2024 goals is cooking more at home, can I let you in on a little secret? One of the EASIEST ways to simplify cooking at home is making sure your pantry (and fridge) is stocked and ready. That means having a spread of simple ingredients you can mix and match and […]

It’s here! The most anticipated blog post of the year!  And that time of year— turkeys are thawing out, I’ve got my candles already going at 4pm, people are wondering whether they should put up their holiday decor this week or next … and everyone is starting to scroll (and scroll, and scroll) to look […]

(Updated October 2023): this post originally was published in 2017, and it’s been on my list to refresh & update it. Today is the day! A guide for those of you who love Seattle, are planning to visit, or want to try some new spots! It’s time for a very special round-up today of my […]

Something I can always get behind? A little spring style refresh. Nothing like taking an afternoon to clean out your closet, making a donation pile of things you don’t like/wear (or that don’t fit) and bringing in some SPACE for a new season. I don’t know about you, but whenever I do, it can be […]

Alright, friends. It’s time for talk about this once and for all, because it’s  one of the most asked questions that I get (and one of the most confusing categories of food out there). Especially for those you on a mission to be eating more real food than not.  It’s an emotional one for people, […]

PURE JOY = Trader Joe’s in the Fall. You’ll find me filling up my cart with the prettiest pumpkin selection, fall-colored bouquets of flowers, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice….. did I mention all the pumpkin?? Mmmm, yes please.  It’s everything to me– and I know I’m not alone. So every fall I do a […]

It’s FALL, y’all. Which means it’s officially cozy season. Enter: all the natural beeswax candlesticks all over the house, my favorite comfy Fall playlist on Spotify on repeat (listen HERE), soups on soups, bundled up walks with the fam and yummy healthy snacks for Fall that keep us feeling energized. Mmmm, as much as this […]

I think it’s time for a little SRH summer reads book club moment! Because (I know for me) when life gets crazy or unpredictable, that escaping for a short walk with my earbuds playing an audiobook, or reading a few pages from an actual book before bed can help me unwind and let go of […]

The name of the game when it comes to travel with toddlers is PREPARATION, and a mindset of ease. I sooo get the stressful feeling of not knowing how your little might react to a new space or environment (…. especially one that’s crowded with people and thousands of feet in the air). But like […]

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 […]

You guys… I think I’ve decided that motherhood is just a constant whirlwind tears and love and mess… all wrapped up together with a “how is time going by so fast?!” mantra on repeat. Anyone else? My goodness. It just kills me a little! Noah is 2. 2!!! How did that happen so quickly? Man, […]
