Have you ever had something come into your awareness at just the right time? That was my experience with Katy Bowman’s new book: Grow Wild. The past year and a half have been such a hard one for so many of us. As a parent, one of my big concerns was the health of my children – mentally, physically, and spiritually. Beyond the global circumstances, there were so many added stresses just to daily life. So many things had changed and no one could see the other side of the issue. I focused on things I could control – at least, to the best of my ability. We dedicated more…

Whether you celebrate Yule or Christmas, today I wanted to share some fun holiday traditions that we love to partake in at this time of year.

Do you have a night time cleaning routine that helps you get stuff done? I don’t – but I am trying! Come get your own free printable to help get organized! Like most people, I have the best intentions of getting all sorts of things done each and every day.  But by dinner time, I am losing steam to get everything done that I had planned on doing. If I do not write down a to-do list for the evening, then nothing gets done. Instead of getting my cleaning done, I tend to lounge around on the couch and watch Netflix or get distracted by Facebook.  These things have a…

After years of suffering with foot pain, I discovered the benefits of going barefoot.  I have since transitioned myself and my children to barefoot compliant footwear and could not be happier.  Check out my barefoot story! For years and years, I suffered with foot issues – foot pain, numbness, and general discomfort.  Doctor’s blamed years of dancing, my naturally wide feet, not enough arch support, too much arch support…  But no one could fix my foot issues.  I really felt defeated and decided that it was just how it was. I went for a physical after my second child was born.  During this physical, my doctor commented on how wide…

We have very hard water where we live and because of this, we often get mineral deposits inside of our kettle.  I have tried many different ways to clean a kettle, but none are as effective and quick as this one.  Using vinegar to clean a kettle is probably one of the best vinegar cleaning hacks I have ever come across!  It is so easy and fast. Before Cleaning This is what our kettle looked like before I cleaned it. Because I was doing a video on our YouTube channel about how to clean a kettle using vinegar, I let it get a little worse than we normally do. This…

It is FINALLY spring!  We had a long, cold winter but it is time to spring clean.  I need to do a spring clean in the garden.  We have a long to-do list to get the backyard ready for summer and would love to motivate you to get out into your yards and get your backyard or garden space ready for the spring and summer.  Clean with me! I am a list maker.  Having a to-do list helps to keep me organized and on track, especially when it comes to cleaning.  Today I have a few tasks which need to get done now that the warm weather has arrived and…

I belonged to a pregnancy forum many moons ago.  One day, we were chatting about squatting as a way to prepare and help for birth.  One of the moms shared an article called You Don’t Know Squat.  I read the article and was instantly hooked on the information.  As with all information I am excited about, I shared it.  I shared it with my mom, my chiropractor, other mothers to be and am now sharing it with you.  Reading it over again and implemented what the author had to say.  It was not an article about pregnancy, but it was so incredibly helpful. I loved the author’s style of writing,…
