Parents unite: it’s the most wonderful time of the year because the kiddos are headed back to school (cue the fake sniffle)! Aside from picture day, the first day of school is probably the only day of the year your kids’ outfits are perfect and every strand of hair is in place. It’s also the […]
Cauliflower has become our go-to powerhouse veggie in my house. But even the healthiest food can become a fat-fest when fried and drenched in a creamy sauce. Traditional bang bang cauliflower is the perfect example of healthy gone wrong. But this revamped recipe, on the other hand, is as good for you as it is […]
Want to know what happens when you stop using shampoo? Take it from someone who gave it a go. I tried to quit using shampoo for 30 days and I looked like a greasy mess for 29 of those days and it was awful. Zero out of five stars, do not recommend. But some people […]
I love when the color, length, design or shape of my nails can make a powerful beauty statement. For women like me, and even tweens and young girls, a collection of vibrant nail polish means hours of entertainment, plus a convenient way to accessorize. For me, a strong polish collection must include a fantastic glitter […]
One of my lifelong friends just had her first baby and I’ve been happily along for so much of the ride. From the early days of uneasiness (and nausea) to the moment she knew it was “time” — and everything in between, her pregnancy was a joy to witness. But now that her sweet baby […]

Now, I’m not just talking boots and scarves here (although I love boots and scarves as much as the next person). I’m talking about getting your DIY on and creating something entirely new. […]
One of the coolest perks of entering middle school or high school is getting your own school locker. Not only is it your own secure space to store school supplies, but it’s your own private space to decorate exactly the way you want to. And this goes beyond simple stickers and plain magnets. From stylish […]
If there’s one thing we parents say more than anything it’s, “WOW my back hurts today.” No matter how spritely we were before building a family, having small humans that need or want carrying and the fact that we are getting older every single day takes its toll on the long, rickety vertebrae puzzle behind […]
The benefits of meditation are irrefutable–reduced stress, increased self-awareness, improved focus…the list goes on and on. The only problem? The simple act of sitting still and quieting your mind can definitely be more challenging than it seems. Luckily, there’s an app for that. Or, we should say, many, many meditation apps created to make this […]
I’m a busy mom of three wild kids who are constantly on the go. That means I am a magnet for awesome mom hacks that work because let’s face it, life’s little bumps can feel tragic when you’ve got kids. The best hacks are versatile and will save your hide in a pinch. For example, […]
Photo Credit: Groupon I’ve been a championship shopper since 8th grade. My best friend and I would be dropped off at the mall on Saturday, while her mom worked at Sears. Yes, Sears. That’s how long ago I was in 8th grade. We’d swing by 5-7-9, Gap, and Delia’s. Told ya I was old. We’d […]
