Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
I’d love for you to welcome my friend Megan Flatt, who writes about creating your own Mama Revival on her site MeganFlatt.com. Today, she’s sharing tips for creating streamlining your morning routine with kids in tow! Today was my 2-year-old daughter’s first ballet class. It was adorable.

I was at the grocery store yesterday, and I passed the marked down “manager’s specials” section twice before I went in. Why?

Snacking is a big part of any healthy eating plan, but it can be fraught with problems. First of all, if you rely on store-bought, pre-packaged snacks, you’re going to be spending an arm and a leg—especially if they’re organic. But if you’re making your own snacks, it’s easy to fall into a rut. So I’ve...
Happy new year! I absolutely *love* any excuse for a new beginning, and New Year’s Day is kind of a big one. I gave up making traditional resolutions a while ago in favor of taking small steps all the time to reach bigger goals. So I sat down and brainstormed all the little changes...

As I mentioned on Monday, last week I held a dinner party at my home to show off my new cooking chops after taking a series of culinary classes at amazing establishments all around Boulder County. My second class—and main course—was a pasta and gnocchi-making class from the amazing Michael Drazsnzak, executive chef at Colterra...
Last Friday night I hosted a small dinner party for three of my closest foodie friends. The “theme” of this party was based on a series of culinary classes I had the great fortune to take for my June column for Yellow Scene. Here’s a photo of the table all laid out and ready...
A former coworker sent me a message on Facebook recently, saying that she’d heard from a mutual friend that I “had it all together” when it came to finding a work/life balance as a work-from-home mom, and she wanted to chat about how I do it. I nearly spit my coffee out all over...
Oh my friends, my friends. Have I got an awesome freebie for you today! It’s part tip, part technique, part resource, all rolled up into one! It’s: The Meat Sheet. (Click here to download the PDF.) Just in time for Father’s Day (cos we all know the Dads tend to like their meat) and...
