A Weekend at Crockett’s Run
“We cooked over the grill, hiked at Old Man’s Cave, and sat in the hot tub to unwind. We played games, watched Everett explore, and had such a lovely long weekend in the hills. It felt like such a needed getaway to focus on our family and our well-being. To truly relax!”
Current Favorites: Bags
“When searching for the perfect diaper bag for my family, I stumbled upon many brands, styles and fabrics, but Azaria’s Le Mere stood out to me most.”
SISTAIN Sustainable Laundry Guide
“This article was written for SISTAIN, where I highlighted my sustainable laundry routine. I gave suggestions on super clean, baby safe, and highly effective laundry products, and I even made a reel about it.”
Food as Medicine
An interview with Katherine Wohl, functional nutrition and women’s health expert — “I practice a food as medicine, personalized nutrition approach to women’s health – using food to help improve symptoms, address health concerns and conditions, and optimize wellness. Food is the foundation of our health, but it’s also very layered and complex for women.”
SISTAIN Spring Cleaning Sustainable Swaps
“I highlighted our team’s favorite sustainable cleaning products to share with the SISTAIN community, to promote a more non-toxic way of cleaning, specifically for the upcoming Spring season.”

How to Get Your Home in Order
“As you can probably tell, I love to create streamlined systems within a home. Organization brings clarity to the mind, and peace to the physical space. If you’re ever in need of an organization consultation, please reach out! I’d love to help. And like I said before, please don’t run out and purchase tons of organizational tools (baskets, bins, containers, etc) until you’ve decluttered your space, assessed what you need, and really decided what tools to have for the long-term. Always remember, #progressoverperfection”
Prenatal Care for the Body and Mind
“No one did this alone. No one kept quiet the secrets of how men and women alike (yep, men, you, too!) prepared their bodies in the best way possible in order to set themselves up for maximal success in bringing a healthy human into the world.”
Urban Gardening, Year Three
“Currently, with snow on the ground in 20 degree weather, of course I’m dreaming of gardening season. When the sun is bright, the air is warm, and the garden is flourishing, my family and I are the happiest. Caring for our small urban garden is the most fun. Each year, we choose our seeds based on the space we have and the growing season we’re in. Sometimes successful and sometimes not…”
