The journey to being more mindful
*This post is sponsored by PrAna.* Now that I’m 40, I’m trying to do things in my life with purpose. I’m trying to be present in each activity – be it with work, my family, friends. It’s so easy to try and multi-task at all times, but I’m trying to really be in each moment…. [Read More]
What do a Toyota Camry and a waffle have in common?
I know, I know. You’re thinking what in the heck is this lady talking about? We all know kids do funny things. They make up words; they play silly nonsense games.

Kraft-Heinz sponsored this post, but the opinions are my own.

On the road a lot? The RAV4 is the right vehicle for you.
I don’t know why but there’s something fun about driving a car other than your own. Testing out all the features and functions is something I find quite enjoyable.
