Happy Listening! 

On my instagram channel @the_whimsical_teacher, I've been cooking up Hello Fresh boxes with my bff and husband, Anthony.  He goes by @whimsicalhubby online.  Honestly, I've always hated cooking.  I hate preparing things and I hate cleaning up.  It never seems worth the hassle.  For the last few years, I realized that we've been eating horribly because of my own stubbornness towards change. 

So I decided to try Hello Fresh.  And our world has complete changed.  We are much happier, and we're communicating more efficiently as husband and wife.  Each night, we actually look forward to dinner instead of dreading it.  We're looking at cooking as a new hobby: one we can do together.  We're losing weight and actually feeling better than when we first met. 

If you're interested in trying Hello Fresh.  Here is our $40 off coupon code for anyone who is curious:  https://www.hellofresh.com/?c=JESSMART215&utm_source=raf-share&utm_campaign=share-sms&utm_medium=app&utm_version=c1

Balance.  It's not just for circus animals.  It effects all of us.  Sometimes we feel like we're in control and everything is gravy and other times it feels like Mount Vesuvius has just exploded and we are running for our lives.  This episode will explore easy tips and tricks for striking the balance we can live with.  Thanks for tuning in. 

I've suffered with migraines since becoming a teacher.  As I type out these words, I have one.  *insert frowny face*   Here are all the tricks and tips I learned about migraines from my instagram audience.  I hope that some of them will help you!
