May 16, 2013 • Hi there! I’m short on time today but wanted to share a few links that I’ve been loving from around the web this week before I head out the door… This kale salad from Dinner: A Love Story will definitely be making an appearance in my kitchen soon. Beets, oranges & feta…sound like a...

May 14, 2013 • I’m thrilled to be guest posting on Robin’s blog today. Our paths crossed when she featured my good friend and dietitian colleague, Corinne Dobbas, in a recent “Real Women” column. Seeing that both Robin and I live in the Denver metro area, and appreciate similar food philosophies, I knew we had to connect. As a...

May 9, 2013 • Organization and preparation are 2 key elements in achieving a balanced life. When I coach my clients online, I place a huge emphasis on the importance of prepping for the week ahead (planning workouts, grocery shopping, batch cooking, etc.). “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.” – John Wooden That is why I LOVE the...

May 2, 2013 • Since moving to Colorado I’ve had the pleasure of teaching prenatal Pilates classes at Belly Up Spa in Lone Tree. It has been such a joy and I’m genuinely sad to leave our group of soon-to-be-mamas as I prepare for maternity leave. I taught mat Pilates classes in their beautiful studio up until I was...

Apr 30, 2013 • I met the lovely Moriah through The Influence Network and have loved getting to know her through her lovely blog. She recently shared her review of the Balanced Beginnings program from the perspective of a mom with a new little one. Which I love. This program can be used by anyone! Pregnant or not. And...

Apr 25, 2013 • If you’ve been reading this blog for long, you know I’m a HUGE fan of the Dove Campaign For Real Beauty. Their message is right in line with the message here on TBL and I can’t sing their praises enough. Dove’s latest video shares a powerful message about the way we tend to view ourselves....

Apr 23, 2013 • As I prepare for maternity leave I am gathering up a bunch of great guest posts to keep The Balanced Life active and alive on the days I’m too tired from learning how to add a baby to this crazy life. If you have a topic or story that you think would fit The Balanced...

Apr 18, 2013 • Nicole Joelle has the sweetest blog where she writes about “learning to dwell.” She also happens to be pregnant and is cruising through her 38th week…so close to the end!

Apr 16, 2013 • As I mentioned in part 1, many of Shauna’s recipes from Bread & Wine have already become staples in our home. White chicken chili, Annette’s enchiladas, and breakfast quinoa to name a few… But my favorite by far is the Green Well Salad. I’ve been prepping the ingredients every Sunday and enjoying it for lunch...

Apr 11, 2013 • It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Shauna Niequist’s. I read her first book, Cold Tangerines, in my post-college years and was immediately drawn in by Shauna’s gift with words and story telling. Years later, during a time of big transition, Bittersweet spoke to my life in a completely different way. In a...
