Downhill Pandemic Skiing

Outdoor activities seem to be more popular than ever before due to the ongoing pandemic.  One activity that we have always enjoyed is downhill skiing. I learned how to ski when I was young, and this year I had the chance to continue teaching Chloe and Carter how to ski as well. In this post I’ll share some tips on how we skied this weekend in a relatively safe way. Before skiing, make sure you grab a large tote that is light weight and can get wet from snow.

2 Week Summer Slimdown Challenge

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know how much I love Cara Clark Nutrition’s healthy eating plans. Occasionally, I get into a cooking / healthy eating rut. Lazy, I don’t want to plan my own menu or search for new recipes. I also need a gentle reminder to keep my body moving every single day. Cara Clark’s plan fits my lifestyle so well. There are no games, counting, or crazy diets to follow. This is all real food – stuff you normally get at your local grocery store with some guided work outs and easy to make healthy snacks. The part that I love the most is the…
