Now that the twins are in daycare a few days a week, I’ve been pumping more. And I’ve got some opinions on which breast pump I think is best — both from a convenience and maximizing-your-milk standpoint. And, mamas, there are A LOT of breast pump choices out there. Which is awesome, because there’s a...
When you think of beauty, what comes to mind? And how does that compare to what you might’ve thought of, say, five or 10 years ago? Maybe it’s because I’m a couple months away from celebrating my 40th birthday, maybe it’s because of the way society has evolved, or maybe it’s because of what’s on...
Every time I clear out my closet, I get a little more intentional about what clothes I’m choosing to bring in. I’m pretty much always going to be drawn to certain colors, eye-catching patterns, and feel-good fabrics, but for those items to go from a theoretical purchase to earning a hanger in my home, they’ve...
Matcha has been having a moment now for, well, awhile now — and it’s well-deserved. Matcha green tea has scientifically-proven health benefits and is considered a superfood that can help reduce cholesterol, improve brain health, and even help prevent cancer. But considering how popular — and beneficial — matcha is, I’ve found that a lot...
You know how the song goes, right? Here comes the sun (doo doo doo). Here comes the sun, and I say it’s all right … Because healthy dinner is MADE! Wait, that’s NOT how it goes? Well, that’s what we’ve been singing here because Sun Basket came into our lives recently and it’s changed how we...
I just took a DNA test! Turns out … via GIPHY I’m 100 percent nowhere near as cool as Lizzo. Which I probably did not need a DNA test to tell me. (I also don’t dabble in anything musical, unless you count singing off key in the car because I definitely do plenty of that.)...
I live a pretty darn casual life. I like to wear clothes that are comfortable and allow me to move freely. Since I work from home, I can generally wear exactly what I want. But that doesn’t mean I want to look — or feel — like a slob, nor does it mean I don’t...
I’ve loved playing dress up with beautiful and interesting clothing all my life. As a child, I would try on most of my mother’s closet — and when it came time for dance recital costumes, I was just in heaven. I vividly remember shopping for prom dresses with my mom — and, in fact, I found...
I can’t begin to count the number of hours I’ve spent in a bike saddle over the past decade — but I can tell you that my most recent rides have been a whole different level of fun. It all started this spring in Venice, Calif., when I flew out for a media day with...
Since leaving my corporate job four years ago, my dress shoe collection has become pretty unimpressive. And I’ve never really been one to collect casual shoes. However, my workout shoe collection is a whole other story. Some might even find it a bit … fussy. It’s not that I have so many workout shoes, or...
