I get it. It’s Monday morning, you were in a rush, you wanted a quick breakfast fix so you reached for the box of cereal. It happens. We’ve all been there. But guess what, cereal really isn’t as good for you as the packaging leads you to believe. Many of the health benefits claimed for breakfast […]
I am not good at slowing down. I don’t do it very often/ever. Just take a day to myself. Sit around. Do nothing. That is foreign to me. Why would I want to “do nothing” when there are a million things that I could do and be and see! Lucky for me though, today God […]
You may or may not have gotten the memo that my husband and I went to the farmers market this weekend and left with EIGHTY PEACHES! We couldn’t believe the deal we found. We had walked through all the tents and most stands were selling 5 peaches for $5-$6….and I’m now embarrassed to say I […]
It’s SUMMER! If you didn’t already know this about me I am a first grade teacher (by day, avid runner and kale connoisseur by night)! And it is finally here, summer in all of its glory. I have just barely been off for two weeks now and I have already filled up my days with […]
Putting a healthy twist on my childhood banana bread recipe. My Grandma Mary was the most amazing woman (aside from my own mother of course). She was at all my sporting events growing up and at any race of mine she could get to from triathlons to marathons; always there cheering me (and my two […]
I have been LOVING this gorgeous Texas weather we have been having lately! This past weekend I couldn’t get enough of it. I ran a race with some other teacher friends from my school district for a charity event. I worked with walkbold for their first “sister session” to raise money for a “sister” in need. […]
Need something green for Saint Patty’s Day? Well you don’t have to feel bad about indulging in one, or two, or all four of these kaletastic smoothie finds! I figure I have had enough kale, just this year, to turn me green from the inside out, so really no one can pinch me even if […]
Texas weather is so bizarre. Saturday it was 80 degrees outside and I went biking with some friends wearing a tank top. Today, however, the school I teach at was cancelled because it was sleeting the night before and it’s 18 degrees. I mean really how did that happen? I wish it would just make […]
I love nut milk! And like anything, homemade is always best! You will never believe how easy it actually is! If you haven’t tried making your own yet, you should! You can make it with just about any nut you’d like but a personal favorite of mine is this cashew hazelnut […]
It’s Valentine’s Day! The day of love chocolate! Let’s face it chocolate will be eaten on this day…and it should! But it doesn’t have to be that icky processed sugar filled kind. It can actually be good for you! Yes you heard me correctly, chocolate that is good for you and you don’t have to fill guilty […]
