I was picking up a few things for the kids to give them on Valentine's Day and thought I would make a list and share with you all. Some of the links below, I do make a small commission on. Here are some of my favorites for the boys: You knew there would be a football for my football obsessed six year old. I love this smaller ball with all the NFL team logos on it. Thought it would be cute on a shelf in his room too.This style of Nikes looks a lot like Jordan's but for a fraction of th[...]
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.

Just like your workouts[...]

You can shop all her creations here. You can also follow al[...]

Basically you decide, tomorrow I am going to start living healthier, and maybe you plan it all out on paper. "I'm going to workout M, W, & F."
