It marks almost a month since I stirred up a giant shitstorm with some commentary I made on one certain pink and gold sequin lunchbox. In what will heretofore be known as #LunchBoxGate, I (unintentionally, but gratefully) started a conversation about the importance of messaging to our young girls, and in turn, that spurred multiple discussions on what exactly it means to help our kids lead healthy lives.

Next to a good foundation, there’s nothing as important to achieving healthy-looking skin as a nice foundation brush to blend the formula into your skin.

Wow. Last week was a doozy. While fully cognizant of the fact that it can always be worse (and believe me, I am always reminding myself of this, that these problems are in fact small), allow me a moment of melodrama when I say I was fully, “Jesus, take the wheel” about 367 times over the course of the past seven days.

It’s a difficult thing to think about–painful, filled with so many emotions. But in this week’s episode of my podcast, I loved diving into the topic of infidelity with the incredible writer, Jodie Utter.

Let’s talk things that grow from the earth–specifically, fruits and vegetables. And now let’s talk kids–specifically, young kids. These are two things that traditionally do not go together all that well, or easily… until now. Today I’ve got the most delicious recipe–a healthy after-school snacks for kids that (GASP) they will actually love! Perfect for getting together those two aforementioned groups. 😉

It’s that special time of month where we talk all about the beauty products I’m using–and loving–this month. Let’s kick off On My Vanity, the February Edition!

We all know that one woman who makes it look so easy. She’s working (either out of or in the home), she’s raising a family, and she’s looking incredible–somehow–while doing it all. Oh, and in this case, she’s also the founder and CEO of an industry-leading company. (Whaaaaat?!) Well, meet Suneera Madhani, who is the definition of “mom boss.”

This isn’t something I have shared, maybe ever, because the popular consensus seems to be that Oh my gosh being pregnant is THE WORST. (See: All the weight gain; all the weird boob stuff; all the peeing ALL the time, etc etc etc). But every once in a while, I feel it. I miss being pregnant.

I was a late adopter of coffee. I know, weird, right? For years I went just for unsweetened green tea, and not even because I needed caffeine boost, but because I enjoyed it. Then I had kids and I was like, Okay, all the coffee right now please and thank you. Well now I am happy to report there is one thing that might be the next best thing to coffee for tired moms. And that is IV Therapy.

So have you heard? I kinda stirred the pot (unintentionally) when I told the world that a pink and sequin lunchbox might have some bad messaging on it.
