It’s my word for today. Really, it should be my word for this year. It’s the thing I struggle with most as a parent. It’s also something that I need to focus on more in other areas of my life. From keeping our home clean and organized to my work as a health and fitness coach, […]

How is your day going? Mine is going well. I taught Yoga Sculpt this morning and then headed home to shower, eat lunch, and get some things done around the house before picking up our daughter from a play date. However, there are many days that don’t start off like this. You know what I mean. […]

This morning I was at the grocery store picking up a few things we needed. While there I noticed they had beautiful, fresh-cut gladiolus flowers for sale.
