St. Patrick’s Day is just on the horizon and so I have been sharing a few fun activities for kids to do.

It’s still early enough in the year that you can get away with tackling that organizing goal now. It’s always better late than never. My immediate organizing goal is going to have to be my pantry. Why? Because I keep buying things and filling it up and then forgetting what’s in there. Same truth can be said of my freezer however. But the pantry is first. If you are like me at all, then your pantry cupboard is a mess of boxes and containers and cake mixes and bread and there is often no logic to the shelves themselves.…

I am not a fan of the word diet. I rarely use it in the context that means weight loss and this post is not about that. This blog and this post is about considering what you need to be your healthiest version of you.

Sometimes the answer is I need a better fitness routine and I need a diet makeover. This past year, in the month of September I added high…
