While the notion of living out our days at the beach sounds like a dream, the reality is we are busy, hardworking people just trying to tackle life’s daily challenges and find the inspiration to really create the life we want. Whether it is faith-based inspiration or just real like talk about life with two teenagers, I hope that you can find content that is relatable, motivational or just a quick little break from everyday life.
With more rain than we have seen in years this winter, Spring fever is definitely kicking in. Don’t get me wrong! I’m grateful to finally put those sweaters and boots to good use for a season but I think we have had enough. With March finally upon us, it feels like Spring should be showing signs of arrival but I think it didn’t get the memo this year. With Daylight Savings ending this weekend, we should be able to enjoy[Read more]
If you are like my family, at the end of the week, you are often staring at 1-2 bananas who are passed their prime. While we sometimes can use them in protein shakes, I hate to waste them. Plus, I would rather try to find a way to get my kids to eat them in some form.

I have had some recent conversations about age and getting older so I thought I would write about it because I think age is all irrelevant in a lot of ways.

My sister-in-law suggested this simple meal from Hello Fresh that she found through one of our favorite bloggers, and of course, one of our favorite former Bachelorettes, Ali Fedotowsky.

I have to admit that towards the end of the year, the business of life really got in the way of blogging more often, but I am back and looking forward to staying inspired and motivated to keep creating content. Here in LA, there was a local story recently that struck a chord. A local reporter who we watch every weekend died suddenly at the age of 43. While I initially thought he had a heart attack or was in[Read more]
I’m all about finding balance in all aspects of life, including taking some time to decompress and enjoy some good TV. If you know me, I rarely take the time to just sit and relax. I’m wired to constantly be busy but at the end of a long day, I have to admit I enjoy unwinding with my one of my favorite shows. With the Golden Globes airing the other night, I had a chance to reflect on what I[Read more]
