I have a confession to make…
I'm not perfect. Sometimes I can't balance it all. I hate to admit it, because often I can, and certainly I'm seen as someone who can get it done and be counted on to do so. Yet sometimes life is too crazy. I have a 4.5 yr old and an almost 9 month old, a husband,...

Eating to Feel Good IS Eating Comfort Food
I recently read an article in the latest issue of Yoga Journal where the author was talking about comfort food, and redefining what that meant. She stated that instead of eating our typical comfort foods (macaroni and cheese or other heavy pastas, mashed potatoes, or...
