Happy 2016! This is the third year of doing my New Year, New You series and I hope to offer up some useful bits you haven’t heard before. Nothing is worse than reading the same old tired sh*t like “take the stairs instead of the elevator or replace fruit for dessert.” Nope…not going to insult your intelligence and waste your time.

Made With Love: Essential Oil & Brown Sugar Scrub + DIY Gift Wrap by Natalie Jackson

Not just getting her workout in,…

Things You Must Do When Flying Alone With Your Child
Things you must do when flying alone with your child. My two year old son, Camden, and I are currently in Michigan visiting my mom and dad. Because we don’t have family where we live in Charlotte I’ve been flying with Camden by myself since he was five months old. He’s flown domestic and international. Some trips have been fine.
