• Book Review: Sicker Fatter Poorer

    Guys, I couldn’t put this book down. And, definitely not for the reasons you think. It wasn’t the page turner that Educated (more on that book soon) was in terms of the story, but rather I got so obsessed with the scientific data and how we react and don’t react to it, what changes and […]

  • That Book We’re Going to Write

    Nic and I both have strong feelings that we were put here on this earth to move mountains and change the world.

  • Inspiration: Our Deepest Fear

Six years ago March Fourth marked the start of something new. A new company. A new movement. A movement towards safer products. Safer products for […]

  • St. Patrick’s Day Treats I was Crazy Enough to Make

    Last St. Patrick’s Day I was the one who volunteered to bring St. Patrick’s Day treats into my 2-year-old’s class. Yep, the person who had just sold her house and moved her family in with her parents (again!), and started a renovation (again, but this time out of state!). Oh yeah, I also had a […]

  • Made for More

    Last night was the first night the Made for More documentary from Rachel Hollis was available on Amazon video for Prime users. So, I got in bed at 8:30 pm after I put the kids to bed and turned it on. Note: This is the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I watched TV in BED!!!! […]
