Hi Everyone!

It is a pleasure to welcome you to my space!  I hope you find inspiration here to help you live the healthy life that works for you and your family!  I am a wife, mother of two, and pediatric dentist living in beautiful Southern California (we moved from Kansas back in 2018).  My journey to this blog began way back in 2016 when I began to crave my pre motherhood identity. I cherish my role as a mother, but began to feel unhealthy after realizing I gave up all of my outside passions and roles the moment I became a mother.

Now don’t get me wrong, it was important for me that I dedicated the first few years to solely raising my girls, because I knew that at that time they needed my undivided attention. But as the years went by I knew that I craved more, I needed other outlets to feed my passions.

One passion that I developed early on in motherhood was researching and developing a plan for living a non toxic lifestyle.  Like all parents, I wanted to make sure that the girls had the best quality of life that I could give them and that my husband and I were around to raise our girls and watch them start families of their own. This new era of existence at first had me scanning baby products for harmful ingredients, hovering over my children at all times, and trying to squeeze in workouts between warming bottles and changing diapers.

As the girls grew and our lives started to find more balance and also new challenges, I was inspired to start of blog of my own where I could share ideas and creative endeavors.I am a lover of all things DIY and I am also a big believer in using natural products both with beauty and personal care as well as home care and cleaning.  I use a lot of essential oils, but also a lot of other natural ingredients. When I combine all my passions the creative juice start flowing and this is exactly how this little blog started!

What began as a way to document my journey into non toxic living evolved into the creation of a platform where I share all the things I love, all the things that add color to my life. Because healthy living is SO MUCH MORE than what you eat! Living healthy is being sure to feed your mind, body and soul with those things that add color to your life. Creating and blogging about it all is something I am passionate about and something that colors my world.

This blog is not about money making (far from it actually), but rather about creating a space to share my passions with those that have similar interests.With this blog, my goal is to document my journey and do so in a way that makes healthy, well rounded living fun and exciting.  I hope you enjoy what you find here and most of all, I hope that you find a way to live the healthy life that works for you!
