In the past, “FOMO” has been all the rage - the fear of missing out. This can mainly be attributed to the evolution of social media, or the whole “if a tree falls in the forest, and no one...
Fall is here, (HORRAY!), which means it's time for pumpkins, apples, bonfires, and scarves.  Unfortunately, it also means it's time for colds, the flu, and other nasty bugs. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, and nothing stresses me out more...
Veterans Day is a day to pay tribute and honor to those soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. They chose to answer the call of duty to protect their fellow American citizens so that we can live in...
I'm a mom of two littles and this time of year is always crazy. My daughter's birthday falls literally two weeks before Christmas and I'm always scrambling up to Christmas Eve wrapping presents and shipping out packages to out...

I'm going to be 100% transparent here and show you my "before and after" of my exercise journey. Now, it might not look like everyone else's before and after, but I’m proud of it. Are you ready? OK.... Confession: those pictures...
