Have you ever had a goal that you just thought would be too difficult or crazy to achieve? Or maybe you want to change an aspect of your life for the better. Goal setting has always been important to me, but this year was year I decided to really take it seriously. Which really helped […]

Summertime is all here so let the fun begin!! With all the sunshine it seems like the perfect time to be healthy.  But without the routines and the vacation mindset, it’s not always easy to maintain those positive lifestyle habits. 

Friends, meet our newest family member: Tucker Laser Rock Nasser!  Our family is so excited to have this little guy in our lives. Getting a dog has been on our radar for a while, and I’m sharing Tuck’s back story in today’s new puppy announcement post. Get ready for cuteness overload!! New Puppy Announcement! Meet […]

Hello, May! What a month April has been, right?! With everyone staying at home, it’s no surprise that comfy and home items were the top of the list. What was amazing this month was that LIKEtoKNOW.it posted this pic of me on their main page!!! I was so surprised and grateful. With that simple post, […]

Anyone else have kids that just want to snack all day? With life at home all day, it seems like one of them is asking for a bowl of goldfish or pretzels on the hour. While things aren’t as structured as school, I don’t just want to feed them junk all day long. The one […]

It’s Monday everyone. And not just any Monday. Today,

And finally it’s February!! January seemed so long but now it feels like spring is right around the corner. This weekend, I kicked off the first weekend of the month by writing down my February intentions to share with you all.

Hi everyone!!  My intention for the new year is to create monthly intentions. I wrote in my 2020 goals post that I wasn’t doing many check the box goals. Rather, each month, I want to focus on a few healthy lifestyle goals. Setting positive intentions is something that really inspires me and makes me feel […]

Sitting down to write this post feels indicative of the goals I am setting this year. Now that we are one week into 2020, I finally feel ready to put all my thoughts down on the blog.  It’s not that they haven’t been on my mind over the past few weeks, it’s just that I […]

And just like that, it’s 2020. The past few weeks have been filled with lots of fun and celebrations and now I’m ready to level set. Usually by this time I’ve already written out an extensive goals and resolutions list.  But

Well folks, you are looking at a 40 year old today!! I mean, how did this happen? One minute you’re graduating college, buying your first pots and pan set thinking you have

Bear with me… I know it’s October and it barely even feels like fall outside, but the holidays are going to be here before you know it! This week, the Beautycounter Holiday Collection dropped and there are so many great sets this year!

One of Jeff’s New Year’s resolutions was to have more dinner parties.  Now that we have a house we love here in DC, this is one of the easiest goals we’ve made.  It’s so great to host friends and family over a great meal and have a fun night in together.  Now that it’s summer, […]

So many times, I’ve told a crazy Mom moment story to a friend or neighbor and they’ve told me to write it down. That after all the years, these are the memories that you’ll look back on and smile. There are so many things no one tells you about being a mom. Last weekend was […]

Last month, we had an amazing winter family photo session with our good friend Eunice Kim. To be honest, we originally scheduled this for late September.  I thought the house would be complete but I just didn’t feel ready.  I kept pushing it back and finally committed to the weekend after our trip to the Bahamas.  This […]

  Yesterday was my birthday. And I have to say, it was a good one.  I had such a wonderful time not only with my family, but also getting an amazing day yesterday to rest and relax.  I actually watched a TV – my first in a long time.  I’m not saying that I don’t […]

It’s Christmas and this is one of the first years I’m really excited.  I know, I know.  It’s not that I don’t like Christmas.  I do.  I always have.   But a few factors have played into my previous lack of enthusiasm.  First,

Parties. Christmas cookies.  Those Ferrero Roche chocolate balls everywhere. There are many celebrations and indulgences this time of year. Usually, being healthy takes a backseat to all the festivities.  With so much to do, who has time to exercise? It’s easier to take the Carrie Bradshaw approach of “Shopping is my cardio.”  It’s all so […]

Wednesday was Sam’s last day of PK3. I can’t believe we have one year under our belt! With posters around the school reminding students about “Summer Brain Gain”, I started thinking about what books to read this summer. Last year, on our trip to the shore I was dealing with a sick 9 month old […]
