I’ve written about him before, both here on the blog and in some social media posts. It’s about a man that I’ve had great admiration for, someone who lived the lifestyle that I talk about – full of love for family, daily exercise and old fashion work. The person I’m talking about is my father-in-law, […]
Many of you know that I spent 8 years in the corporate world prior to becoming a chiropractor. It was the 8-5 job with suits, dresses, high heels, schmoozing and lots of traveling. It was in the sporting goods industry and glamorous, but I was unhappy. I was always health conscious and wondered what else […]
My house is a mess. There are gates at every opening. There are towels on the floor. My plants are now 3’ off the floor. There are toys all over. I (we) have to watch every step. I’m setting my alarm for 2am. It’s like we have a baby in the house or something. Well…we […]
I live my life pretty efficiently, as most hours of my day are completely planned out. I don’t like to waste time, which isn’t always good, as I’m always on the go (except with sleep of course!). Prior to going to bed, I’m planning out my next day – when I’m going to wake up, […]
I have two cats that love to go into my closet and climb up onto the shelves to sleep. It’s a bit annoying, because then my clothes get covered with cat hair, which means I have to wash them again, and hope they don’t sneak into my closet again. A few months ago, after getting […]

The CDC shared this photo on their Facebook page recently, which is something I have been saying all along. Vitamins & minerals can have a very positive effect on the immune system, and helps the body fight off infection and inflammation. It’s about food and prepping your body. Why did it take until July 12th […]
When “this” all first started happening, I got into a bit of a funk. I knew that to avoid sickness I needed to sleep, so I started sleeping 8-10 hours a night. I skipped my morning workouts. I started to stress eat. But after about two weeks I realized that I needed to get back […]
Earlier this month I bought some caterpillars from Insect Lore so we could watch them develop into painted lady butterflies. It’s a simple easy process and a good learning experiment for my son, as he could learn about the metamorphosis of butterflies. I had the cup of caterpillars & their tent on our kitchen table […]
Last week I posted a short 15-second video on Facebook, which has since gone viral (more than 900 shares as of this writing). I’m somewhat excited about it, but I’m also not excited about it, so wanted to explain why. The video is about a dog that had lost movement in her hind limbs and […]
