Hi, friends! My husband and I are currently overseas on a two-week long adventure in Ireland, Scotland and London. Follow our adventures over on Instagram! While we’re away, I’ve invited a few of my blogger friends to share recipes and intuitive eating posts! Today’s post is by my friend Brynn.  Hi everyone, Brynn from The Domestic…

Thank you to everyone who’s been keeping up with my recent intuitive eating posts! I’ve been diving headfirst into this intuitive eating, body kindness world, and it’s really exciting. I first learned about the process of intuitive eating a couple years ago, but didn’t devote the time to make sense of it all. This time,…

I’ve been working on balancing my life and cutting down on things I don’t really need. My husband is pretty smart when it comes to thinking rationally and clearly. Whenever I feel overwhelmed he tells me to check yo’ priorities, woman. Well, not in those words. He encouraged me to write down my top three priorities…

I’m happy to finally be writing a non-recipe post– it’s been months since I’ve written about mindfulness and I’ve been missing it. The months of August and September were a little crazy for me– two trips, only three weeks apart, on opposite ends of the country. Lots of deadlines, projects, health fairs, booths, and networking…

Okay, so how often you respond to someone asking you “What are you up to?” with “Nothing!”? And how often are you really doing “nothing”? We all know how to do nothing. Some days I think I deserve a college degree in laying around and wasting time. But many of us are too busy to…

Do you ever notice that you can complete an entire task without even thinking about it? Sometimes I’ll drive home from work and by the time I get home, I realize that I didn’t notice anything about the ride home. Or, I’ll be eating dinner and multitasking, and I realize that I didn’t really even…

Have you seen the someecard that goes, “Men, if you ever wanna know what a woman’s mind is like, imagine a browser with 3,241 tabs open. All. The. Time.”? I don’t know about you ladies, but couldn’t me more true for me. Being present is honestly one of the hardest things I’m trying to work…

Every year people make new years resolutions for what they want or what they think they need in their lives. For changes they want to see. Improvements for themselves. While setting goals can help you achieve what you want in life, what about being thankful for what you already have? The power of gratitude can…
