For this week’s This NOT That, I’m sharing a treat my kids have enjoyed for a few years and I really enjoy the simple ingredients! Bear products are a clean snack, and these strawberry fruit rolls are our favorite! It’s a better option to a fruit roll-up or fruit snacks. And they actually taste good!! Below I have compared the ingredients in Bear Strawberry Fruit Rolls and Fruit Roll-ups Strawberry Sensation flavor. I don’t think this one needs a big explanation. You know I don’[...]
My friend, Reem Fryling, is an amazing mother to three boys, a teacher, a food & product photographer, an amazing cook...literally good at all the things! Over Spring Break she emailed me a template with a challenge she had come up with for her boys to complete daily in order for them to earn screen time.

With a new year just starting, and lots of personal health goals being laid out, I want to make sure you are making selfcare a part of those goals too. Going to the gym and eating healthy are so important, but make sure you are also taking some time to relax with a little selfcare. This can look like quiet alone time in the mornings, meditation, reading, soaking in a bath, skincare, masks, etc. Today, I want to chat a bit about a form of selfcare: skincare! Just like your workouts[...]
I’ve been making it a priority, the past almost two weeks now, to start my day with protein, healthy fat, and veggies…and I’m starting to notice a huge difference! When you eat a ton of carbs, especially refined carbs full of sugar- pastries, cereal, pancakes, yogurt, etc. your blood sugar will spike, leading to a crash. Plus you will be hungry again sooner. Alternatively, a breakfast packed with protein, fats, and fiber will keep you feeling fuller longer. And I’m not here to bas[...]
