Why make resolutions anyway? If I am being quite honest, I had never made a New Year’s resolution until I met my husband. We were aspiring to be better in all aspects of life, but one year (just out of college) he suggested that we do SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic [...]
The easiest way to deal with change is to simply accept it, embrace it and ride the wave! That’s the attitude that I’ve tried to take with this move from the city to the suburb. I have completely immersed myself in all things a good homemaker should, with the exception of sewing, that will come [...]
This was the first year we hosted Thanksgiving for the families time and the theme was “No hospital visits”. I promise, that this was a positive message, that really meant “this is my first time cooking a turkey and I hope no one gets food poisoning, dies or looses a limb. All other mistakes are [...]
My new venture with Juicing Health Benefits is going well and I couldn’t be happier. To think that only a few months ago, I had been laboring about how to possibly work for myself and now it is all becoming a reality! No, Juicing Health Benefits is not paying my bills, but it is off [...]

Starting a new diet plan right before a holiday weekend is always brave. Especially when you are going to someone’s home for a cookout. We visited family for a 4th of July cookout with our fingers crossed that we wouldn’t completely blow our diet goals. Fortunately, we planned appropriately, by eating very light & as [...]
After just 5 days of cleaning up this family’s diet, the results are clear. We are calmer, more clear headed, more energetic and sleeping better. And that includes my 2 yr old! It’s incredible to think about how the food we put into our bodies affects all aspects of our lives. Admittedly, there have been [...]
