I have a bit of an obsession with protein bites. These days I won’t eat a bar that’s loaded with ingredients I don’t recognize, so I stock my pantry with Larabars and Kind Bars, but they can get expensive. So most weeks I set up shop on Sunday afternoon and prep some healthy bars & bites
Friends, I have a confession to make. I can hardly remember the last time I went for a run. Seriously. I think it was a few weeks ago, but before that there was a dry spell too. I just haven’t been in the mood but the crisp Fall air is starting to call my name.

In an effort to provide yet another (healthier) option, I spent some time in the kitchen creating a delicious,
Don’t hate me for saying this, but Fall is definitely in the air. Now that I live in a state with all 4 season it’s a bittersweet time of year. Fall is my favorite season but I hate that it means summer is so far away. I’m choosing to soak up the last days of summer
Happy Friday! And welcome to the final day of the #mindbodymat challenge! I have some good and bad news for you today… The bad: our guest instructor had a family emergency and had to pull out at the last minute. 🙁 The good: that means I get one more day with you! I hope you don’t mind
