local delivery with smith brothers farms.

With baby #2 quickly approaching, I’ve been trying to get the house as organized and streamlined as possible and that includes meal prepping. With a toddler and newborn in tow, I’m worried about finding time to do simple tasks like go to the grocery store. That’s why I was so excited to discover Smith Brothers Farms, a local family-owned and operated farm that has been serving the greater Puget Sound area for more than 90 years. They have grown to be one of the largest independent dairies in the region, processing and delivering the freshest milk and select Northwest products to more than 50,000 homes every week.

why I've decided to go back to school.

why I've decided to go back to school.

When I graduated from college, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I always loved Fashion and had this dream of being a “big wig” at a major fashion retailer or some sort of creative in that field. I decided to major in Communications at the University of Washington because that was the only option that was broad enough to cover almost any type of career. Most large university’s don’t offer specialized majors which leaves a lot of students pondering what they are going to do with their degree after they finish. But now there are so many options for schooling that offer a specialized career path and one of them is Interior Design! And it just so happens that one has opened here in Seattle, which is why I am so excited to share Heritage School of Interior Design with you!

how to balance family life.

As a family of three who is about to become four, this topic has been on my mind for quite some time now. But the question is - how do we balance it all? Even before kids I remember it being hard to find time to fit everything in and then you add a child into the mix and you better buckle up! But, I would like to think we’ve done a pretty good job of balancing it all. And today I’m sharing how.

why I've taken a little break from social media and blogging.

So why did I take a little break from social media and blogging? SURPRISE…I AM 12 WEEKS PREGNANT! This isn’t much of a surprise to me, as my husband I are were trying for baby #2, but for most of you who follow along, I haven’t really expressed my want for a bigger family. While we are elated, my body, on the other hand, had different thoughts.

new year, new you: how to be healthier in 2019.

So much food...so many cocktails...so little exercise...Does this sound familiar? Because this is how I always feel after the holidays. But the good news? There is hope to feeling good again - so take the new year as a golden opportunity to hit the refresh button! Don’t set unrealistic resolutions or goals that you likely won’t be able to achieve. Instead, tell yourself that you are going to be better and each day is a new day!

how i feel about turning 34.

how i feel about turning 34.

I can almost guess a lot of you are shocked that I am turning 34. I only say this because when I tell people my age I almost immediately get the “No way!” reaction. I guess I can thank my parents for good genetics. But I also think it has a lot to do with my vibrant personality and the fact that I don’t really act my age. Although, I don't really know how are we supposed to act in our 30’s.
