Back-to-School for MOMS + Sparkling Peach Green Tea

As much as I've absolutely loved summer and all the fun we've gotten to have (swimming, popsicles on the patio, glamping, vacation), I'm also craving a little bit more routine that the school year inevitably brings. We all know going back-to-school is a big deal for our kiddos, but what about us moms?

Roasted Cherry Sangria + 8 Other Delicious Cherry Recipes!

Cherries. 

Sweet glorious cherries. The epitome of summer.

Someday I'll invest in an actual cherry pitter -- but for now, I slice and remove the pits by hand with a small paring knife. Something about it is actually quite calming and relaxing.

Blood Orange, Carrot, & Ginger Juice

Simple {Strawberry Watermelon Sparkling Sangria}

I don't know if it's from turning 30 (a few years ago, lol), or having a baby, or trying to juggle being an accountant, food blogger, and mom, but one thing is for sure... I don't have a great short-term memory anymore. Whether it's talking about stopping to get the mail at the top of the driveway and forgetting by the time I'm speeding past the mailbox, or making a batch of hummingbird juice and cooling it quickly in the freezer only to forget it completely and have it turn into a solid block of ice, or having a list of 6 things ...

Gym Update + {Almond Mocha Green Smoothies}

It's been a week since I joined a gym, the first step towards my summer goal. I went every single day, which is more than I'll normally go...but I wanted to get in the habit of being there and I wanted to take a couple different classes to see what was most challenging and motivating. ...
