Hurom Winner and Other Exciting Food News

I was so excited the past few days, seeing all the enthusiasm and genuine interest in winning the juicer. Some of you were excited to further your health journey in the new year, and some of you were just eager to start the year off right. While there could sadly only be one winner, I […]

Win A Hurom Slow Juicer/Smoothie Maker

I’m ridiculously excited to be sharing this giveaway with you guys, because I love my Hurom juicer so much.  It sounds so silly to say that products are “life changing”, so instead I’ll just say this one has had a huge impact on my journey towards feeling better.  Health can sometimes be subjective and hard […]

Holiday Photos 2013

Miranda took our family holiday photos this year, as usual, and as usual, I love the way they came out. So much so that I ordered a card that is pretty much a lookbook, there are so many images. I’ve been exhausted lately, tired in general, with working, mothering, cooking, cleaning, folding.  The usual stuff […]

For The Love Of A Holiday Party

This past Friday, we hosted close to 50 people for our first holiday party here at our “new” house, which we’ve lived at for 4 years now. It’s what consumed me all of last week, along with a major house organization project, and kept me away from this space. I’m happy to be back this […]

Silver, Gold & Bronze Glam

We spent the long weekend up in Big Bear with some friends. While the trip was short, we accomplished our main objective – which was to take family photos. I’ll share ours with you in the next week, but for now, I wanted to give you a peek at the DIY I’ll be featuring tomorrow. […]
