"Sweat It Out" with Dancing Cante

“Sweat It Out” is my way of taking it home to what lies deep down in my soul, my love for music. I have not one ounce of musical ability, but my passion for a good song, I mean really good music, is deep. I can’t really enjoy a workout without an amazing playlist - something that really puts me in a zone and helps motivate me to keep pushing.  But, who has time to sit around and make playlist after playlist?! Well don’t worry - I definitely have you covered. Not only will I be providing you with the soundtrack to your next work out but, I will also be introducing you to some of my favorite Insta-motivators. Read More...

#MomLife: Why Meditation is Important for Moms

When I became a mom, after the first few weeks of sleep deprivation and trying to navigate the daily “be-witching hour” it became clear that a daily thirty-minute meditation practice was no longer in my near future. At the new mom stage, I needed my meditation practice more than ever, but I didn’t have the same time to devote to it as before. So I had to get creative. Read More...

#MomLife: Reading Is Fundamental - March Mommy and Mini Picks

The one thing that I did not anticipate was that we may end up reading the same book over and over again because Peyton, like her mother, has an addictive personality and will keep on with one thing until she crashes and burns. Lol!  This is both a good and bad thing in this scenario. Good because she is learning what words look like with all of the repetition and bad because, let's face it, mommy gets tired of reading the same thing over and over again. These three books are different in that not only does Peyton look forward to reading them but, mommy is pretty impressed with the storylines and illustrations too! Reading good children’s books makes reading time fun! Read More...

Spring Forward

This time change has been one heck of a roller coaster leaving most of the people I have encountered begging for that hour back. What a difference an hour makes! Despite the fact that we know that it is coming, it doesn’t make it any easier year after year to “lose” that hour in our day. The day seems longer and the nights seem so much shorter but, the reality is that it is all in our heads. We still have the same 24 hours that we had before and, ultimately, it is up to us how we decide to take advantage of them. Read More...

Center Yourself and Grow Spiritually with These Three Apps

In an era that is centered on technology, everything can be easily found on your cellphone. There is literally an app for most everything, to the extent that when I attend church most Sunday mornings it is not unlikely to see people scrolling through their phones to read along with the preacher using their Bible apps. I am usually someone who prefers the old school feel of the pages between my fingers and the joy that fills me when I get to open up a new pack of colored pens or highlighters to really get deep into my studies, but hey that’s just me. I have been labeled an old soul a time or two. Read More...
