On my phone there’s a list of books I’ve read this year (because I’d totally forget) and books I want to read. Both lists are ever growing and today I’m happy (and a little nervous) to be sharing! Why nervous, you ask? Well, because book choices can be a kinda-sorta personal thing. […]
Now let’s be real for a moment- if you’re going to pick up garbage (which you totally should!) why not pick it up in one of the most gorgeous places on earth? And why not make a mini-vacation out of it? Come on! Doesn’t it sound fun? Today I’m sharing […]
One of the best parts of running NW Healthy Mama, is sharing fun things to do and then hearing success stories from you guys! Everytime I get a sweet message about a hike you did, a restaurant you tried or an event you went to, it is so thrilling. Our […]

I was in a TRX class yesterday and after completing all the circuits, we went into the “cardio” portion. “Okay, burpies for 30 seconds!” The first round wasn’t too bad. “Now jumping jacks for 30 seconds!” “Now burpies for 30 seconds!” And they alternated until I thought I’d puke. During […]
She was a mystery. A sweet girl, with a lot of sass, eager to learn, with a quick little temper. The best Mama to her baby dolls and the one least afraid of the scratching kitten. I couldn’t put my finger on her love language until I started noticing how […]
Walking into the grocery store yesterday, with my youngest at my side, we couldn’t help but notice the buckets of local daffodils for $2/bunch. As we kept walking, we passed flowers for the yard and new rubber boots. Before we know it, s’mores supplies will be sitting on the ends […]
Yesterday our kids made their own sandwiches and packed their backpacks full of light sabers and nerf guns. They planned a day outside and headed out on their adventure. I watched from the window as they wandered around the yard and then spread out the blanket they had tucked into one of […]
I had the best time whipping up these simple bars yesterday afternoon. If you follow on Instagram, you most likely saw my videos (bloopers too!) and heard about the reasons behind why I wanted to make these. Here’s the deal: My kids are always starving. They need protein and lots […]
A few months ago, it was a privilege to guest post over on Love LaConner. You can find this post originally there. Thankfully, the daffodil season is just around the corner! Here are a few ideas that’ll help turn your drive-by into an all day family trip. Daffodils seem to […]
Happy Friday! Are you ready to go into the weekend with intention? What does your body, mind and your family need right now? As I walked into the kitchen this morning and checked my email while the coffee finished brewing, my mind was brought back to about 6 weeks ago […]
I sit by the pool, legs tucked in close to me, 3 towels on my right and 3 kids in the water. I read with a pen in hand, circling, starring and underlining everything that jumps out to me. I look up and my youngest is kicking across the pool, […]
Happy Friday! Here we go with Part 2 of the Q&A series! Question: Thank you for helping me out of a deep funk – might even be called depression, but I refuse to call it that – that hit hard in 2016. I’m inspired by you, and motivated, and, well I […]
You guys have some great questions! Today I’m starting part one of the Q&A series. Here’s the question I’m tackling: How do you keep screen time in check? Oh girls. This question. It’s a big one and it’s SO important. I’ve been thinking so much about this lately and trying […]
