Kids, Food & Eating: Our Approach
PREFACE It’s no secret that I’ve had some issues with food. A few years ago, I saw a nutritionist to try to help break my sugar addiction (I refer to it as an addiction because I ate so much sugar in a binge-eating pattern).

After returning from our family vacation in Seaside last summer, I ...
How I Changed the Way I Eat + Meal Planning
Over the last six months or so, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my diet and meal planning.

I was always of the mindset that exercise is what keeps you ...
