a New Meal for Roxann
I decided to take the Purina ONE® 28-Day Challenge. Not because this food will fix this disease (nor did I expect it to), but because it might h e l p, as well as offer a host of other visible differences in just 28 days—like strong teeth, vibrant energy, sparkling eyes, and a radiant coat.

At-home Manicure Essentials
I love having my nails painted. I love going and getting them done (hey dip nails!) and I love doing them myself. I actually think that I write better (and more) when my nails are painted, because when I’m typing I look down and see these pretty fingernails hitting the keys.

A Lesson in Saying ‘Thank You’
But even though we are a military family, I think it is really important to teach them to say thank you to the men and women, in this community, who serve and who have served. American Greetings makes it easy to say thank you! Teaching my boys to say thank you to veterans is a lesson I want them to learn.
The Best Investment You Can Make
A good night's sleep. That is the best investment you can make. The problem with that simple truth is, getting a good night's sleep can be hard. I can usually fall asleep easily. But, if I get woken up after I've fallen asleep, it takes me hours to fall back to sleep.
How to Have a Successful Quiet Time
Ever since my oldest son stopped napping, we've done something that we call Quiet Time. I feel like the name is a little misleading, because he doesn't actually have to be quiet, and rarely ever is. It's just a set time that he plays by himself.
Three Hacks for Getting Your Family Out The Door
When it comes to mornings, I am not usually wide eyed and bushy-tailed. I totally blame it on my genetics, although the older I get, the more I want to get better at mornings. Especially those mornings when I know we're leaving and won't be back for hours.
Couples Who Brush With An Electric Toothbrush Together…
Kiss more often! Hahah, it’s probably true! I mean, who doesn’t prefer a freshly cleaned mouth to peck?! Both my husband and I tested out the new Smile Brilliant electric toothbrush – the cariPRO! I collaborated with Smile Brilliant before with their teeth whitening systems, so when they asked if I wanted to try their […]
Whitening Sensitive Teeth At Home
You have to know by now that around here that I’m always up for a good adventure. When I buy clothes, I really do think about clothes are up for adventure. That doesn’t mean that I only have clothes that can hold up to a hike into the mountains. But clothes that keep me comfortable […]

How I Put the Healthy into my Meals
When it comes it comes to how I eat, I want it to be healthy...and easy. Oh easy! Because while I do love to cook, I don't want my days to revolved around prepping and cooking what I'm going to eat I could step away from the article or post I was working on early, in order to cook myself a meal, or I could continue to do what I've been doing lately, which is grab a Healthy Choice® Power Bowls and smartwater.
A Day Trip to Avila Beach
A two and a half hour road trip from Monterey will land you at Avila Beach! Just outside of San Luis Obispo, it's a tiny little beach community and just where we go when we want a real beach experience. I say real beach because it's hot enough there to wear a swimsuit...
The Best Back to School Outfit
Maybe it's because I grew up in PA (close to New England!) and I've been getting style inspiration from the J.Crew catalogs since middle school, but nothing reminds me of going back to school like a corduroy mini.
Taking An Outfit from Date Night to Adventure Ready
I think how flowy the dress is, along with it's slip dress vibe made the jeans underneath work. And it brought out the 90's vibe and I'm down with that! Combo the dress + jeans + barks and my date night piece became a totally acceptable, and practical outfit for an afternoon with my boys.
What to Wear to the Beach
LOCATION | Capitola Beach, Capitola CA shorts (like these too!) | tank (similar) | sweatshirt ℅ Tobi | sunglasses but I like these too Before I moved to Monterey, I would have never thought that you would or need to wear anything other than a swimsuit to the beach. But since this coast struggles to hit warm temperatures, I’ve gotten almost zero use out […]

28 Weeks + PinkBlush Maternity
I happen to think dressing a bump is kinda hard. I’ve been a fan of capsule wardrobes, and I pretty much think they’re impossible for preggo’s – mainly because you just don’t know what you’re going to look like in a few weeks. So planning clothes for all nine-ish months is something I can’t do. […]
