You have helped us to make this space such a safe, warm, judgment-free place. So I know I'm in wonderful company when I share that this has been one of the hardest months I've had in years. We are all safe, healthy, well-fed, and together - so in truth (and I...
I don't think any of us need an in-depth intro explaining all of the stressors of the holidays. You know all about the feelings that start bubbling up when it comes to travel, visiting family, rising costs of absolutely everything on our list and being pulled in...
I've read (and likely written) countless posts about a Sunday well spent bringing a week of content. I am a firm believer that old saying still rings true. But lately I've implemented a new take on it that has been serving me well, and I'm sharing our Sunday spin...
Whipping up a smoothie remains my go-to every morning, no matter where we are in the world. I will always forgo packing an extra pair of shoes in order to make room in my suitcase for the blender. It feels like such a comfort of home, and a way to stay on track...

In case you didn't hear it enough this week - you are doing hard things every day - and making them look easy to everyone around you. I had that aha moment so many times throughout the week: our neighbor across the street mothering four children beautifully, a good...
I've read some threads that say "What I Eat In A Day" round-ups are triggering. If you feel that way at all - stop reading now (might I suggest something like this instead). This post is in no way intended to create any feelings of comparison or shame, it's merely...
I saw a lot of Don't Mess With Texas memes this week. That saying has been long-lived and loved. But what feels even more fitting in our experience down here, and not just in crisis mode is Love Thy Neighbor. I felt that lesson wholly and feel so thankful to be...
I wanted to do this interview more than anything to say thank you. It's not every day you get to talk to someone whom you admire greatly, who created a global movement, someone whom, on many levels, changed your life. If you've been Part of the Pack with us for a...
