Summer! It’s official. My daughter just finished the 10th grade, the garden is planted (mostly, it’s still evolving, I’m now obsessed with herbs), and the temperatures are quickly rising. As much as I love the warm weather, I know how quickly I can become dehydrated, which goes for you, too. Here are some […]

When I find a product, and especially a company that I love, I want to tell everybody. Glass Dharma is one of those companies. I love straws for my smoothies, juices and other concoctions, but don’t like the feel of plastic, or the fact that they quickly become landfill. I have tried […]

With my promise to show you more of me and my own life, I decided to begin with showing you my office. This feels only slightly less vulnerable than showing you my bedroom. Just last summer, we finally got our house to “presentable” condition. We moved in nearly 8 years ago, and […]

Somewhat recently I went to a live event put on by a person whose blog and emails I read frequently, and was so excited to see in person. He was traveling to my city from afar, and offered an evening of heart-led transformation and authenticity, mixed with a little yoga. Totally my […]

It’s no secret that I love kale. And coconut. And together, they make a crispy, savory and delicious snack. This comes together in minutes, and is a healthy alternative to toxin-laced store bought chips. Even with all of the kale chips emerging, I’ve never seen anything like this is available in a package.

My husband gets full credit for this one. He knows how much I love Thai baby coconuts. He also sees the splatters on the kitchen ceiling from my opening skills. I will say I’ve gotten pretty good at opening them up over the years; wielding my knife, slicing down the husk to a […]

I should be finalizing a trip to Mexico about now. We usually plan a getaway for spring break, as my daughter has such a full school schedule, it’s difficult to do otherwise. But, since we opted to do so much to the house this past year instead, (Yay, I have an office! And I […]
