Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
One on my favorite responsibilities of being a mom is feeding my babies, who are no longer babies to anyone but me. Most of the time, it is my pleasure to give them what they need and want.

People ask me questions about juicing when they hear this is something my guy and I do on a regular basis. We started this about four months ago after watching a compelling documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. In it, an overweight Australian in poor health went on a 60 day juice fast in...

As parents, we wanted to acknowledge all the changes and encourage our... Continue Reading →
When the kids come looking for me, this is what I want them to expect to find more often.....

My whole perspective changed when one of those... Continue Reading →
