Last weekend we watched the latest nutrition-related documentary on Netflix called What the Health. By now, you’ve probably seen or heard of it—it’s all over the place. I’ll share my thoughts on the film, but first, a little background. When I began my blog in 2012—then called foodiecology—I was obsessed with nutrition and food. I’d…
On Craving Connection
Do you crave connection? If you say no, I’m calling you out. Because even the most introverted among us (oh hello there, self) are social beings to some degree—it’s in our DNA. Sure, we crave connection in different ways. You may enjoy being surrounded by groups of people, interviewing folks on your podcast, teaching ESL…
4 Things That Served Me Well In July and 3 That Haven’t
Hey guys! The last several days of this month snuck up on me. I mean, tomorrow is August 1, and on Wednesday, Bazooka starts his new class at daycare. We didn’t even buy his school supplies until this past weekend—oops! Summer is flying by. Like I did last month, I wanted to reflect on some…
To The Bone Review
Let me preface my review of To The Bone by stating a couple things: I am not a trained mental health or eating disorder specialist, and I am writing based solely on my own opinions and understanding of the complexities of eating disorders. Having never been diagnosed with an ED or undergone treatment for one,…
Currently // July 2017
Hey friends! Yet again this month has flown by. What happened to July and how is my little Bazooka starting his 3rd year of daycare next week?!! July has had its ups and downs, but we’ve had fun visiting the park and enjoying the kiddie pools with the little man. Here’s July in a nutshell….
Peanut Butter, Maca + Cacao Nib Energy Bites
These peanut butter, maca, and cacao nib energy bites are the perfect healthy and filling snack. Made with oats, honey, and chia seeds, they are sure to satisfy your hunger and craving for something sweet! Answer me this: are they bites or balls? Since I have the maturity level of a 15-year-old boy, I prefer…
Thoughts on Meditation
No matter how you slice it, I’m a high-strung person. Always have been, even as a child, and I probably always will be (fortunately for me, Bazooka appears to share that trait—parenting is going to be fun stuff). Tension is my middle name (or may as well be), and relaxing is often a struggle. Relaxing!…
Overcoming the S-Word
Do you struggle with the s-word? Nope, not that one…I’m talking about the word should. Should as in obligation or duty or expectation. If you’re anything like me, you probably struggle with “should” quite often. In fact, your whole life may be centered on what you should be doing versus what you want to be…
My Personal 10 Commandments
Long time, no blog, eh? I decided to take a break last week while we celebrated the 4th of July and spent the week with my in-laws (daycare was closed all week, so thankfully, they were able to stay with us and watch Bazooka while we were at work). I think it’s nice to unplug…
5 Things That Have Served Me Well in June and 3 That Haven’t
So, I got the idea for this post from the lovely Kate who co-founded Thirty On Tap (the website I contribute to occasionally). Predictably, this goes along with the whole self-care theme I’ve been running into the ground exploring lately, but I like the idea of reflecting upon the month at large and setting small…
