Please to welcome Heat. Quite frankly I can no longer recall where we met---I just know I learn something from her daily. She's wise. She's insightful. She's green in a way I currently only aspire to be... Often, when people think about "green" or "healthy" products, they also think "expensive." In some cases, it's true that "leveling up" is more expensive. Organic produce, most ... Continue Reading
Three reasons why I advocate the family meal.
I was born in the '60s. An era of family dinners, women mainly working inside the home, and jobs *really* being 9-5. Life is strikingly different now. Many women work outside the home. Kids are crazy over-scheduled with after school & weekend activities. It's rarely a reality to get home from an office by 6 pm (a post for a different day. that whole concept makes me ...

You’re not a priority right now.
About a year ago (pre-packing up & moving to Oakland. pre-trying to settle us in a new 'hood. pre-really having any sense of what busy really truly was...) I made a decision to change the way I spoke. You see, when asked to participate in something (work or pleasure), Id noticed Id begun to respond: Gosh, school volunteering/book club/starting a girl scout troop etc sounds great---Im just ...

The Clumsy Girl’s Guide to Barre (guest post).
Hey y'all! I'm Presley and I blog over at Run Pretty. I tend to ramble about all sorts of life and fitness nonsense, so it's pretty hard for me to sum the ol' blog up. Luckily for me, Carla is generously letting me share my thoughts on Barre workout classes today. Bless her for helping me find at least a little direction in a post for once. Fact: I am not a ballerina. Well, I ... Continue Reading
Happy EXERCISE like a pirate day!
To know our misfit trio is to know today is one of our FAVE DAYS and an occasion we celebrate with WILD abandon. We have pirate costumes. We have pirate tattoos (of the temporary & the not-so variety). We have a family flag of the pirate'y persuasion. We have pirate'y cold weather leg coverings. We have pirate technology. We have ...

Deconveniencing our lives.
Im obsessed with Blue Zones. (Like obsessedobsessed since the book came out in 2009.) Ive integrated the Blue Zone Power 9 notion into my personal mission statement & it's one of the reasons I touched down in my new city and immediately searched for purpose/a way to "belong." It's why I PLAYout not WORKout. For *me* that's movement which comes naturally. I strive to eat only ... Continue Reading
Breakfast brain-food.
I am the Eggland’s Best brand ambassador. The below is a sponsored post. The topic, opinions, and inability to keep my egg in the sunshine frame (yet!) are all my own. Around here we live our lives like an Arrested Development episode. On many a morning you'll find one of us shouting the opening lines to the series and, most likely, same person cracking up at him/herself. (this blog ... Continue Reading
My one year crossfit affair (guest post).
I debated recently whether or not I wanted to post about my one year anniversary with Crossfit because I think my take on it is a little bit unique. But then it occurred to me that I should write about it because it is unique. My Crossfit anniversary was actually in July, so about a month ago. Prior to when I began in July of 2012 I had been circuit training and doing HIIT for about three ... Continue Reading
MizBirkenstock! (*tosses shoe-shaped confetti*)
A few months ago I received an email which made me LEAP IN JOY, call husband at work, DANCE in my corky shoes and quite frankly NOT believe my luck. The message was about a potential partnership with a company Ive worn since my KENYON days. They wondered if Id be interested in working with them (interested? I paid my way through graduate school selling them!) and that the opportunity would ... Continue Reading
