Planning ahead and organizing what to eat and when is always going to set you up for success. I’ve been instructing an intense boot-camp style class that has a nutrition component and accountability the last 7 weeks, and meal planning and journaling is a big part of eating healthy.

Even though I’m not working at an elementary school anymore, I get this feeling every August to buy a new planner. I want something specific- weekly views and monthly views, enough room to write lots of notes each day, and a to-do list area. But it also has to be pretty. It’s more of a … [keep reading..]
The morning is tough for me. I wake up hungry and tired, and I need to eat pretty quickly or I get grumpier than I already am. But I also need coffee at the same time. There’s a small window for eating and getting coffee in my system in the morning so that I’m nice. … [keep reading..]

These spring rolls are one of the meals I made a lot and then forgot about, until recently. Thank goodness they came to mind because I have a feeling we will be making these all summer long! They are fresh, easy, and light. A perfect summer meal. The real star of the show is the … [keep reading..]
And just like that another month has flown by with my little munchkin and he is changing and growing and getting into everything he possibly can! Benji is strong, sneaky, and an all-around happy baby boy! He loves his family, especially his brother and can always catch him waving hello or goodbye pretty much all … [keep reading..]
Hello, happy Tuesday! It’s warming up in Lexington and we’ve already had a few days where it feels like summer, which has spoiled me a bit. Because now when I wake up to find a chillier day I feel like we are being cheated out on summer days. But it’s the beginning of May, so … [keep reading..]
