Finding Balance

Link Love: what I’ve been reading…

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...

Define Your Own Healthy

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...

Maternity Leave…

Well, I can’t believe it but the time has come! I will be taking the next few weeks off in anticipation of this Balanced Life baby making his/her entrance into the world. Over the next few months I’ll be popping in with posts and updates as I find the time, energy and urge, but I...

Pilates For Moms of Littles

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...

You’re More Beautiful Thank You Think

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....

Now Accepting Guest Posts

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...

Body With Baby

After reading this post from Becca over at While You Were Napping I am smiling ear to ear. When I create programs, I create them out of passion. Passion that I desperately hope will translate via internet. I pour my heart into these new projects and then *hope* that the message is received and that...

Going Analog

I love The Tiny Twig blog and I love this post that she recently wrote about going analog on the weekends. I’ve been inspired (reminded) that I need more analog days in my life to get out, be present and live life the old-fashioned way. So today, I’m going analog. After all the work I...

How To Write A Health Vision

Lately I’ve been thinking about all the visions we have for our individual lives. Sometimes they’re very clear, like owning a home, falling in love or having kids, and sometimes they’re more vague. We know we want something but haven’t actually put words or details to the notion yet. This came up for me when...

Radio Show + A Reminder

Happy Friday Balanced Life’rs! 2 quick reminders before you head off into the weekend: 1. The last round of The Pilates Body Program before I take off on maternity leave is starting THIS Sunday! If you’ve been thinking about it or feeling the itch to clean up your diet and get toned for the summer...

Healthy Pregnancy Essentials

At 6 months pregnant, I’m so thankful to say that I’m feeling great and loving this experience. I’m still working, exercising and going through my days feeling pretty darn energetic. I’ve recently been asked what kinds of things I’ve been doing to keep myself active without overdoing it (VERY important) and with a lot of...

Link Love: what I’ve been reading…

Happy Valentine’s Day friends! I’m heading out the door to teach a Pilates class (one of my favorite classes of the week) but wanted to share a few links that I’ve been loving from around the web this week… I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Beverly Jacobs’ style blog as of late. She’s practical and to the point,...
