The us that is healing and healthier. A transformed us. The us that is still very much a work in progress.

When we booked Bonnie Berry last summer for a fall session, I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted her vision of our new normal. I wanted a morning in our jammies, kids running wild, real food, ferments, juicing, my tea on the counter in my favorite cup. I wanted the details of our chaos and the giving of supplements that is our normal morning routine. I wanted the real moments. The ones that reflect our lives aren’t always easy, quite the opposite actually, but very…..intentional. Our lives are flawed, many of our days are challenging, yet we […]

We try to eat a wide variety of nutrient dense foods daily. Last night, Jase was off at a political rally and since I can’t handle touching raw meat while pregnant, Ty made us grass fed, organic beef meatballs with marinara and I […]
