Finding Joy in the Journey
As many of you are aware, one of my favorite aspects of this summer has been our CSA! We joined up in the winter, not knowing what to expect. The results have been fantastic and I'm loving finding new ways to incorporate the fresh produce into our daily routine! It's been a fun adventure that... Continue Reading →
Sometimes decisions are just hard. There's no other way to put it. Many of you have probably noticed that my blog has been a little - okay a lot - less active than usual. It has a lot to do with decisions! Sometimes things come up that aren't expected. We've been going through a lot... Continue Reading →
As a Mom of two busy little ones, a runner and the wife of a runner, I understand life on the go. I also understand that to fuel that life, the right products make all the difference. When it comes to water bottles and food storage systems, I had - until now - a hard... Continue Reading →
Days are getting longer, the world is a lot greener and the temperatures are starting to rise: summer is just around the corner. I've heard a lot in my own community - new and old runners alike talking about how the heat is starting to affect their training schedules. Instead of looking at the heat... Continue Reading →

Call it an avocado kick. But, lately I've been pretty obsessed with them (but you already know this). Packed full of nutrients and healthy fats, they're a staple of many healthy diets. So, I decided to try something new again. It's been gorgeous outside here. After a crazy long, cold winter, we've been putting the... Continue Reading →
I love avocados, full of healthy fats, they're a great addition to any meal. But, my husband? Not so much. The creamy texture weirds him out, but, he likes the taste.
