Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

S'mores and Other Fall Traditions


It is October! It's hard to believe that summer is officially behind us and fall is here. One reason it's hard to believe is that it remains quite warm. It's so warm that I long to be poolside in Pittsburgh--daily. That said, the nights are cooler. They are just cool enough to begin firing up the fire pit to enjoy long talks, cuddles and sweet treats like s'mores. 

Enjoying S'mores Makes Everything Better

When I think about enjoying s'mores, it makes me smile! And, as you can see from the photo above, they have the same affect on my kid.

Indeed, 'mores are universally awesome! I don't know about you, but even in these gluten free, low fat, high protein times, I still enjoy a good s'more. I don't know if it's nostalgia, the communal aspect of it, or the fact that they taste so damn good. Whatever it is, I am officially declaring this, "S'mores Season"!

So, light a fire and celebrate!!!
