Beach Essentials for Families
Summer is here! I’ve gathered up atll my tried and true summer beach (or pool) essentials and linked them below. I hate spending money on things that don’t work, or fall apart (I’m talking to you, cheap sandals!) – so I tend to stick with my favorites. Like the children’s hats, sandals, and sunscreen linked below! My all time favorite beach bag is unfortunately out of stock right now (soooo sad, but that’s how good it is!) BUT – I’ve linked 2 other bags from the same company because they’re pretty great. And if you ARE looking for the perfect beach bag, keep checking back because it is SO worth…

Celebrating YOU this Mother’s Day with a *magical* Hylete hoodie & the cutest activewear!
Being a mom is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. I would choose it over & over again, every single time. It’s magical. And magically exhausting, of course! Even on Mother’s Day. But I love being a mom! Enter Mother’s Day. Because it’s next Sunday! It’s a bit different after divorce, right? For me, it’s the 3 of us. My modern day little family that I love with all my heart… BUT, it’s not really a Mother’s Day full of rest and relaxation. It’s more a day of active momming! And if I’m actively momming, or just doing my simple fitness routine– I want cute activewear! Like…

La Mesa Dream Dinners
Cooking dinner every night sometimes feels like Groundhog day. Right when I check it off my list, it pops up again! And anyone with kids knows that meal planning takes a lot of time and thought. Something I don’t have much of these days because by the time 5 pm rolls around I’m running on fumes…. So I was thrilled to try out the Meal Prep Starter Kit from La Mesa Dream Dinners! Due to the corona virus, they’ve changed up their business plan and now offer online orders and a delivery service. Hello, need I say more?? Fully prepped meals delivered right to your door? I’m talking to you,…

A “How To” during Quarantine: Develop an Active Lifestyle at Home
So it’s get fit or get fat time – or a bit of both . (The brownies that I baked disappeared in 2 days, 🤷♀️. And my kids were gone for the weekend, so I can’t even blame them!) But despite my increased brownie consumption, my fitness routine hasn’t changed at all over the past 2 weeks. Why not? Well first off, I’m not a gym person. I never have been; the atmosphere is not relaxing, nor is slugging it out on a stationary machine for 22 minutes…. Classes? Well, I used to love yoga, but after having kids, it became too much. Too much time. I’ve realized that heading to…

The Everyday Fitness Routine!
Fitness is part of my daily routine. Not a huge kickass workout, just moving and staying healthy. Because life with kids is constantly changing, so is the way I work out. I use the term “work out” loosely, because it means different things to different people. For me, working out means getting exercise….that might be a bike ride with my kids, pushing them to school in the double stroller, or swimming laps. OR, or even just cleaning my house and running up and down the stairs 15 times! Pre-divorce, when my kids were 3 and under, I was mostly walking. Once I split from my husband, I had two pockets…

Squeeze in a walk!
This year both of my kids are in morning preschool three days a week. It’s amazing. Truly. I feel like I’ve entered a new phase of life! Even though drop off is rather early for us at 8 am (I know, dont hate me, but my kids actually sleep in until 7 am….) it’s well worth the morning rush. And morning rush it is, as every mom knows! Do you ever have an idea hit you and think, wow, I’m a genius?! yeah, me too, so high five fellow genius #momhacks. Now, this may not blow your mind at first, but let it sink in. Go ahead, think of it…
