One would say that I never stop, I am always on the go - full swing in whatever the endeavor. I have a zest for life and want to live my life to the fullest! I have a wonderful husband, Aaron and two spectacular kids, Trey (7) & Hudson (5) who mean everything to me!

I am a dental hygienist by day, and busy mom and wife by night.... My mission began about 10 years ago after graduating college, when I started working in my health field. I could then see the pattern more than not of my patients with the typical diseases: HBP, high cholesterol, heart problems, cancer. If not thinking outside the box one might feel that this is normal for the average Joe over 45. Sadly enough, I am reminded daily and deeply saddened by the revelation that we accept these diagnosis as incurable and meds are prescribed so life can go on without much change to the diet or exercise regimen.

Which brings me to this adventure... why not try to help? I am always talking about this recipe and that - made with as many greens and seasonal veggies as possible. I try to cook dairy/wheat-free, and sneak as many veggies in the kids meals/snacks as possible:) BALANCE is my daily goal so I throw in several workouts through the week (usually CrossFit at home/running/spin or a mountain bike). I want to show that with a little pre-planning, self motivation and gumption to live a happy, energetic life - this can be done...
