Looking for things to do this summer with your kiddos and other families/friends?
Check out some of these 1 day, go-to ideas that don't take much planning but can be just what you need to give your kids (and you) a break.
I know our summers fill up fast and it may seem as if we don't need one more thing to add to our already full calendar; however, these may come to your saving graces in a pinch.
Think; rainy day, cancelled event, sick kiddo or friend, plans changed, friend or family member drops in (unannounced!)
These ideas are fun for the entire family, quick and easy to do on the fly, and make for great memories!
Let me know what fun ideas you come up with :)

It's JUNE!!! In my eyes, that means Summer is officially here, am I right?
What that also means is my healthy habits usually take the side line because, well... SUMMER!!
With all the BBQ's, holidays, birthdays, weekend getaways, etc. it can be hard to 1. stay motivated and 2. choose the healthy option when there is so much goodness staring you in the face!
I share 10 ideas with you in this episode that will help you stay on track with your goals so you don't feel like you have to start all over when summer ends. You can still enjoy these few short months that we have, do what you love most, and maintain your health and wellness goals.
It can be done and it doesn't mean you have to give up what you (and I) enjoy about Summer!

Does anyone write each other anymore?! Do you miss trying to decipher Grandma's cursive? What ever happened to hand written letters?!
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure my mailbox is only home to bills and junk mail these days. Very rarely, and usually around birthdays and holidays (and even then it's slim) do we ever see a pretty envelope that catches my interest.
Writing is such a good release and can be a great way to express emotion to those we have lost touch with, those we have lost, and those we care about. It's a lost art and I think we should bring it back! Who's with me?
Get out your fancy stationary (or notebook or printer paper) and write someone over the weekend. Enjoy!

PS. Boutique stuff: @onyxandleopard and come hang in the fb group www.facebook/groups/3765493763558991/ See ya there :)
We have all been there. We have all planned and worked so hard to get one step closer to our goal, we are on a roll, killing it and then.... life happens.
We miss a day, we lose momentum, and we start going backwards. Only to be left feeling defeated and disappointed. We want to just give up because we have let ourselves down.
Just because we hit a road block and our momentum slows down or even comes to a screeching halt, doesn't mean we have to lose sight of our goals. It just means we have to re-evaluate and continue moving forward; even if it's in a different direction than what we originally had planned.
Our goals aren't going anywhere and just because it takes us longer or looks different than someone else's journey, doesn't mean we have failed! Success doesn't come without failures along the way.
Stop beating yourself up so badly, figure out a way to make it work for you, and just keep going!
Quitting is not an option, but it's okay to hit pause...

I know, it's so easy to feel guilty for wanting to purchase something we fall in love with for ourselves. It's so easy to buy for everyone else and the moment we want to buy for us, one of two things happen:
1. We buy that new purse or shoes and we go home and we try to find reasons why we need to take them back. We feel guilty and we want to find a reason to justify why we really feel like we needed that item.
OR
2. We don't buy the new purse or shoes and we go home and we think about it for the next couple of weeks. It was the most PERFECT item and you would've been so excited to use it all season, and you know you would! However, you let the guilt win and now you have non-buyers remorse; is that a thing? lol
Anyways, it's okay to splurge on yourself once and awhile. Yes, the needs of our family is important and of course we would never let them go without . If that's not the case, spoil yourself like you spoil others because you are just as important as they are and sometimes you need to tell yourself that!

Doing something, anything, small big or otherwise to work toward your goal is progress!
When we feel passionate about our goals, sometimes it can feel unrealistic as if why even try because the likelihood of us getting there is so slim...
WRONG!!! If it scares you, if it seems too big, if it's hard... it's probably worth it! While it doesn't happen overnight, it CAN happen. It just takes effort and belief that if you're willing to do the work, that big audacious goal can come true!
Do something that scares you! See how you feel. What have you got to lose? If if failing that you're worried about, guess what, failure breeds success in the long run. Failure to me, is better than regret of never having tried.
Share what it is that you're striving for. What is it that scares the living shit out of you but lights you up?!
Stay tuned for what's coming on my end too! I can't wait for you to see it

Nothing welcomes the weekend quite like a delicious adult beverage am I right?! Plus, summer is so close I can taste it, so what better time to start collecting cocktail recipes?
Check out Pinterest or try a couple of my go-to favs (below) or stick to your usual; and let's get this weekend started!
I'd love to see your concoctions and even the non-alcoholic options for some kid friendly ideas.
Here are a couple ideas for your CRUNK CUP, YETI, or tumbler labeled "MOMMY JUICE" lol no judgment; I have one of each ;)
TEQUILA?! YES PLEASE:
- 1-2 shots of silver tequila
- 1-2 fresh squeezed lime juice
- H2O
Pour tequila over ice, add lime juice, fill remainder of glass with water, stir; repeat! Uno Mas Porfavor?
WINE SPRITZER:
- Favorite wine; red or white (sangria would be good too!)
- 1 can of Truly or White Claw
Add wine to glass, top with your can of seltzer, sip away!
I like a pinot grigo with grapefruit seltzer or a semi-dry red with a lime seltzer :P
CHEERS TO YOU BABE! Have a fun weekend ;)

Do you remember being a kid and thinking that the world was your oyster? Wishes really did come true, you really would have a fairy Godmother, and Prince Charming would one day whisk you away on his white horse.
Life happens, we have experiences, failures, disappointments, and year after year our belief in that magic slowly fades away.
We may not live in a fairy tale, but that doesn't mean we can't still dream! Our dreams may look different as they did when we were that 4 year old little girl and we may have lost those feelings of make believe and that's okay; it's normal!
That being said, we don't have to give up on our dreams, no matter how big our small just because we get older and life changes. That feeling of excitement can still be felt if you just take some time to dream!
What do you want to accomplish? What are somethings you used to want as a young girl that you could still have today? Your dream shouldn't die with your youth; they just don't happen like we used to think they did.W
If we change our thinking from impossible to possible and we take each day to do something that helps us get one step closer; even the smallest of changes, can make a big difference and get you to that goal.
And hey... if you shoot for the moon and miss, at least you land amongst the stars right?! What have you got to lose?
That feeling of progress regardless if your dreams actually come true, is worth believing all over again!
Happy Friday :)

There is a reason why diets don't work; they are designed to make you fail so you keep coming back for more. It's time to go back to the basics and stop depleting our bodies of the nutrients it needs!
Carbs are good!! YES! I said it!! We need carbs, protein, and yes even FAT to look and feel our best. There are no secrets or magic pills either; it's literally simple.
Tune in to hear how you can replace diets FOREVER. It's simple, it's basic, and it works!!
