These are NOT my own recipes, full credit and all the love goes to the amazing creators below. I’m just sharing what I made, how I tweaked them, and why I now keep these bookmarked (and saved, and pinned, and screenshotted) at all times.

If you’ve been searching for open gyms, birthday party venues in Howard County, or fun indoor activities for kids in Columbia, let me let you in on a little secret, there’s so much more happening at Dominique Dawes Gymnastics & Ninja Academy than just classes.

I’m officially one month into my personalized health plan with Re-Balance Health & Wellness, and while I’m still very much in the middle of this journey, I already feel something I hadn’t felt in years: hope.

I don’t know about you but I’ve always been a little scared putting my kids into sports, hearing all of the negative stigma that comes with it. But with Coach Bobby It’s all about finding the love for the activities at a young age.

Two years ago, I started semaglutide (Ozempic) primarily to lose weight. I didn’t realize it then, but the journey I was about to take would open my eyes to a much bigger picture (one that had very little to do with aesthetics).

Here’s my 2025 guide to Mother’s Day gift ideas and brunch spots that are guaranteed to make any mom feel appreciated.

As a mom, I wear a lot of hats, chauffeur, chef, cheerleader, snack fairy, and occasionally, referee. Most days are go-go-go, and if you’re anything like me, your “me time” consists of hiding in the pantry with a snack & doom scrolling. So when I say this midweek escape to Turf Valley Resort’s spa changed my entire mood, I mean it.

When I officially became a client, we kicked things off with some seriously in-depth testing to understand what’s really going on underneath the surface.

I genuinely appreciate Stress Awareness Month. It’s a reason to slow down, check in with myself, and take actual steps to feel more grounded. And if you're like me—looking for a little more ease in the day-to-day—I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ways to de-stress around Howard County, Maryland.

Whether you’re lacing up for your first race or are a seasoned runner, knowing what to expect on race day and how to recover like a pro is key. Here’s what you need to know…

At my recent appointment with Laura at Re-Balance Health and Wellness, we discussed how stress affects our hormones and what we can do about it. SPOILER ALERT! You don’t have to suffer through it.

I used to think exhaustion was just part of being a mom. The brain fog, the constant fatigue, the mood swings, it all felt like a normal side effect of juggling kids, work, and life. But when I found myself chugging coffee all day, getting frustrated easily, and barely making it to bedtime without crashing, I started wondering: Is this just burnout, or is something else going on?

Winter running in Maryland is no joke! One day, it’s freezing rain and a polar vortex, and the next it's 50 degrees and sunny. But when you’re training for a race like the Sole of the City 10K, skipping runs because of the weather isn’t an option. That’s why having the right cold-weather gear is essential, it keeps you warm, comfortable and motivated to get out the door (even when your bed feels way too cozy).

We’ve all done it—twisting awkwardly in the driver’s seat to hand a snack or toy to the kids in the back. It seems harmless, right? Until bam—your shoulder reminds you that maybe it wasn’t such a great idea.

Hurt your back lifting your toddler? Tweaked your knee on a run? Don’t wait! We’ve all been there—one wrong move, and suddenly you’re dealing with nagging pain that just won’t quit. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait until you're sidelined with an injury to see a physical therapist.
