Today I weighed the lowest I’ve ever weighed. Lower than even when my husband and I first met over 20 years ago. Lower than when I was in High School. Lower than I can even remember. Though I know lower isn’t always better I feel for me it makes sense. Why? First, I’m short. Like really short so I could… Read more →

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 6
Rough start today. Son woke up kind of early and I was so tired from all the craziness from yesterday that I truly wanted to just stay in bed. Of course this is never an option for the mom on the go. So I get up against my own good judgement and soldier on. It helps that on the ride… Read more →

Stress Relieving Tea, Tips, and Tricks
It is that time of year where many of us are plagued with more than the normal amount of stress we are used to dealing with.

How To Survive Mondays
Oh Monday, how I often loathe you! You start with an early wake up call to get the kids ready. One for school and the other needs changing and fed. Then the older one begins to complain. It is the same routine. You know what I am talking about. The fake sleeping, the whining about waking up, then finally waking… Read more →
