Romantic getaways are awesome, but not real life
My husband and I have both been very busy lately. We are passionate about our work and projects and both of our minds, thoughts and eyes have been pretty focused on our own next steps.

Finding my balance in parenting with yoga
I’ve been at this parenting thing for almost a decade, yet I’m constantly growing, learning and changing. Today as I focused my drishti and found my balance in my headstand, I realized in my yoga practice I am also growing, learning and changing. It is often an instinct of a new parent to dive in...

Ten genius ways to repurpose shoe boxes
Recently, I took my kids to an actual shoe store (instead of buying them shoes online as I usually do). When their feet were measured they were both a full size bigger than I had thought. Anyway, I ended up with some shoe boxes and because it is also spring break I knew there had... Read more »
