Unplug and Reconnect with ‘Real Life’
It’s important to take time to remember the things in life that make it special. That sometimes means leaving all the digital stuff and being present in the moments you have with your family.

Founding Fathers
Life is so short and kids grow up too fast, which is why we decided to take the kids on mini roadtrip around the state of Virginia. We live in such a historical place and rarely take the time to appreciate & enjoy it so that’s exactly what we are doing. We woke up early,…

Where are you wellness?
I’ve been sick — started when I got back from CrossFit yesterday and progressively got worse. I have been sleeping it off most of yesterday and today. You know I am sick when I didn’t even get up to go to CrossFit this morning. I have a big trip planned to San Diego to meet…

Paleonola – 100% grain free granola for those that want their ‘cereal’ back
A few weeks ago I was on Twitter and saw a tweet come across from @Paleonola. Since going mostly Paleo, I miss cereal — plain and simple. I sent them a message asking if they are available anywhere local and if not, do they send samples because I would love to try it. I have…
