Girl Hero Khara has an infectious positive attitude.   By day, she teaches early childhood special education (birth-5 year olds) and loves helping families build their capacity to help their little ones be successful.  She says, “It’s a super stressful and emotional job; I’ve become pretty attached to some kiddos and it’s helped me be […]

Mrs. Seahorse is happy. Her skin is silky and smooth thanks to the new bodycology rich&creamy Skin Softening Body Wash and Lotion. (Just go with it.) Recently, I was sent the NEW bodycology rich&creamy Body Wash and Lotion with silk and avocado oil. bodycology rich&creamy offers intense hydration and has been clinically proven to lock in moisture […]

Today I went to Costco for the 4th time in 4 days.  It was a test of character. A test of strength. (Functional fitness, baby!) A test self-control. (Oh how I would love to sit down on my cart and eat that entire bag of cranberries right there in the parking lot.) I’ve been busy […]

I didn’t write a “New Year Resolution” post this year.  Instead, I reflected over my last 10 years and the years to come. At the time it was what I needed. But now I need a short term reminder that THE YEAR IS HALF OVER! Can you believe it?  I can’t! So what was it […]

Life has been unusually busy this past week with the upcoming video shoot. But between rehearsals, catering (Did I mention I’m CRAZY going to try and cook the dinners for the entire cast and crew ahead of time?), shopping for props and wardrobe, training my clients, teaching my classes and taking care of my family […]

Brent was out of town this week with Thing 1  sleeping on the ground (He he!) at Boy Scout Camp. So it was just Thing 2 and I for most of the week.  Not unlike our road trip in April. Tuesday night, instead of going to taekwondo I decided we should take the night off […]

Tuesdays are one of my favorite days. Tuesday mornings I pick up my CSA produce box and my raw milk. After I get my produce box I lovingly lay it out on my table and take a million pictures from every angle as if I have never seen a piece of fruit before plan my menu for […]

Oh dear.  Life feels extra busy right now. (I may or may not be wearing a hat to hide my unwashed hair) I’m sure yours does too. (Your life is probably busy not your hair is dirty.) Does it ever really stop?  The busyness I mean. Brent is shooting a video for a publishing company. […]

Health seekers of all kinds are notorious for eating or drinking foods you don’t typically find on the grocery store end cap. Chia seeds, goji berries, quinoa, kombucha, bee pollen, yerba mate, cocoa nibs, brewers yeast…. It’s true.  Peek into any health nut’s kitchen and you probably find something “different” (and often expensive).  I’m mean […]

Whole chickens are one of the most economical sources of protein. I buy them in bulk every few months from Azure Standard. To get the most out of a single chicken, I’ll first, cook and serve it as the main course.  Then that night I’ll make chicken broth from the bones.  The next day, I’ll […]
