I want to be a vehicle to help people connect the dots that let them make their lives healthier, happier, more beautiful, and more fun.

More than anything, having adventures with my siblings and spending time with my family and my husband make me happy.

Don't get stuck and don't worry.

Keeping stationary drains your brain, but moving around shows you new things, new inspiration, and keeps the blood moving.

The only reason I write at all is because I am going through, and growing through, something in my life I want to share with others through my personal experiences.

I wanted to lose 30 pounds healthfully and still be able to enjoy my college experience. Having succeeded in doing just that, I wanted to share my experiences with others who could benefit from my direct knowledge of the difficulty of trying to balance college life with being healthy. It became a journey about healthy lifestyle choices, including tips and tricks for creating a new relationship with food where I was in control and could learn to love food healthfully again.

In addition to that, having the items I needed to foster the breastfeeding process and give me an opportunity to bond with my baby in this way was something that I felt was so important in my life and my experience as a first-time mom. I love that I am able to play a role in giving that joy and support to the moms we will be helping.
