Before I begin I’d like to thank Curves International for sponsoring this post. Are you ready to get #CurvesStrong? Since having my second baby I have had a difficult time motivating myself to workout. Over the last ten months I have thought of every excuse in the world as to why it’s nearly impossible for me to exercise, but honestly, there… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Motherhood Competition + Little Guy Sport
Do you ever feel like you are in competition with other moms even if you don’t want to be? Whether it’s milestone achievements, parenting styles, clothing trends, or even how many followers you have on social media, in a world that should be about cultivating friendships, connection and collaboration is sometimes a world of shaming, judgment, and jealousy.

Let’s Talk About: Behind the Scenes: The So Cal Spring Social
About a month before my son was born, I hosted my first Blogger Brunch event for local bloggers and shop owners. I purposively kept this event very intimate with only a dozen women from the San Diego area.

Let’s Talk About: What is The Secret to Looking so Young?
Any time I meet someone new and disclose my age that person is typically shocked. Maybe some people are trying to be polite and make me feel good, but the majority of the time I believe they are genuine. My age even seems to be a surprise among my closest friends.

Let’s Talk About: Spoiling Yourself as a Mom
When was the last time you bought something for yourself? If you are like me, you may not even remember. Most of my Target runs are for family or home related items. If I am given a gift card to a store I typically buy something for one of my children. That is just the kind of mom I am…. Read More
Let’s Talk About: Nursing in Public with Bravado Designs

Let’s Talk About: HELP! I’m a Millennial Trapped with a Gen X Birthdate
I never really thought much about my generation until I saw this past season of Survivor on CBS: Millennials vs. Gen X. In this 33rd season of the show, they cast members from the two different generations. As I watched throughout the season, I found I had more in common with the Millennials than I did the Gen X’ers. Typically… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Premama
As a mom, breastfeeding is so important to me. My milk supply was low for my first child and I struggled to have enough milk to last through the first year. I wasn’t as educated in lactation support as I am now and didn’t know I had to be proactive on keeping my supply up. I naively thought since breastfeeding… Read More
Let’s Talk About: Why I Switched to Tom’s of Maine Long Lasting Deodorant
If you read my post in October about my experience with breast cancer, you know that after my diagnosis, I completely switched to products that were free of various chemical ingredients, like aluminum, to improve the wellness in my life.
