Procrastination. A word I have been familiar with almost my entire life… as soon as I learned what it meant. đ Â As much as I dislike that word, it hasn’t kept me from practicing it every day, in multiple ways. I’ve always wondered what it is about some people who don’t procrastinate. My…

Fifteen 15-Minute (or less!) Workouts
People who are dedicated to improving their body garner much respect from me. I kind of wish I had the time and energy to devote to an hour-long or more workout… but I don’t. :-/ Most of us don’t, honestly. So here is a compilation of 15 different workouts that are designed to take 15…

What a year. I don’t just mean the few short weeks of 2017, but I mean the past 12 months. What a crazy, historical, earth-shattering, ground-breaking… interesting… year. On to social media.

“Mama,” my five year old son announced softly, “Daddy’s funner than you.” “Okay,” I said. I blinked away a few tears as I knew how true that statement was. He seemed to rethink what he said and added, “I mean you’re fun, but daddy’s funner.” “Okay,” I said again. I looked off because I didn’t want…

Chronic Pain and Honesty with My Children
So, I’ve been dealing with minor chronic pain and fatigue for years. Going on the GAPS diet taught me so much about autoimmune conditions, and really listening to how my body feels… I now realize autoimmunity (at least partly) stems from having a compromised gut. I’m also not alone. More than 100 million Americans struggle with some…
