  • How Bad Do You Want It?

    Yesterday, I read this NYT article: It’s the Sugar, Folks Sugar is indeed toxic.

A study published in the Feb. 27 issue of the journal PLoS One links increased consumption of sugar with increased rates…

  • Parents: Fun Murderers

    Yesterday I came across a post out there about how everyone loves to give kids junk food.  Why Is Everyone Always Giving My Kids Junk Food?  It really resonated with me and a ton of other parents out there. Think about it – snacks at meetings, get-togethers, sports events, outings – it’s common for it…

  • Health, Joy & Progress

    Yes, today is my birthday! It’s hard to believe another year has passed but if it’s going to pass, I am thankful it was a pretty awesome year. I still feel like a young twenty something chick most days, so it’s hard to believe that I am really getting up there. One of the things…

  • Paleo Worlds Collide

    When I first discovered CrossFit and Paleo eating – I came across a blog from Melissa Joulwan: The Clothes Make the Girl.  I didn’t know Melissa personally, but found her take on both topics to be really inspiring and helpful as I began to explore making meaningful changes in my life.
