The Embodied Mama

You might have heard this term thrown around a bit lately and be wondering what it really means. It’s okay I didn’t really know what it was a few years ago either. I thought it was just a term yogis threw around. I was very enlightened when I was trained in Nonlinear Movement by Michaela […]

What’s in my Newsletter

How was your week? Mine was a freaking rollercoaster…. I started the week out feeling kind low energy and now it’s Friday and I’m feeling much more space to breathe and live. Burnout is normal and can happen for a number of reasons: not enough self-care, spiritual growth, needing more support, hormones and the need […]

The Tired Mom’s Kit

Ideas sometimes come to me at odd times…. like after a night of wrestling with my 13 month old baby. Yeah I said it, I was WRESTLING her at intermittent times throughout the night; soothing her with my worn out  nipples and then unsuccessfully unlatching them from her tiny mouth only to start the cycle […]

Madewell vs. Target Try On

It’s  time for another #LEGITMOMTRYON! I was in one of my favorite stores: MADEWELL with all 3 of my children, AHHHHHHH! I wanted to casually stroll through the store and see what was new, but alas 3 children do not really go hand in hand with perusing. Then I was struck with a fun a […]

What I’m packing for our summer vacation

We’re leaving today on a road trip up the coast of California ending in Monterey and then headed to my family’s beach house in Santa Cruz. We’ll be staying at a couple of Marriotts along the way and adventuring which will break up the drive and make it more fun for our kids. I hate […]

How To Do Disneyland With Small Kids

This week I tried to be an epic “cool mom” and surprised my boys with a day at Disneyland. My oldest Waylon is in his last week of school so I figured not much learning is really going on so why not play hooky and do a day at Disney? Have I mentioned before that […]
