A blog about nourishing and loving ourselves and our families.
I have sat on this post for months, too terrified to actually publish it. But when my 17 year old cousin committed suicide a few weeks ago, possibly in part because he was struggling with being gay, it was the last straw. This post was originally about me being pro-gay marriage, but I will not… [read more]

The article that was written about me this month in a local magazine (I am the cover too!) is about Self Love and making yourself a priority. So here is a quick little Valentine’s Day message from me to you about this topic! It’s just a little reminder to not forget yourself this holiday and to… [read more]
Sooooo….can we talk curse words for a minute? I have been cussing on my blog since I very first started blogging back in 2009. As M+BL grew, I started getting emails like this: “You are so awesome, I love you so much, but why do you have to cuss, can you please stop?” To which… [read more]
Over the years I have picked up healthy habits here and there. Some I would only pull out in an official detox period, like dry brushing, and some have always been a daily habit, like lemon water. After finally reading the GAPS Diet book (it took me years to get the courage to even read… [read more]
A tattered, faded, pinkish chair looking orange in harsh winter sunlight coming through the window. Ugly but with a “sink into it” comfort. I’ll be sitting here later. A glass topped end table. With wheels. A small metal tub sits next it. Repurposed. It used to house geraniums on a tiny porch in a bygone… [read more]

2012 was quite the year for me. The beginning was incredibly difficult – I had a miscarriage at the end of my first trimester. But it also brought so many beautiful things, which is usually how it goes. There can be no birth, renewal, or beginnings without something dying or being destroyed. The Destroyer Archetype… [read more]
I won’t lie that I really struggled to write this post. I wasn’t even sure if December would be a good time to share it because this sort of thing is generally saved for the time of renewal at the beginning of the year. Then I thought about the rampant depression that hits especially hard… [read more]
Exercise has never been an important part of my life. Although I did some sports as a kid and have a lot of love for swimming, I’ve just never wanted to exercise. While some of it stems from pure laziness, it was also a lack of energy, a lack of interest, past experiences and injuries,… [read more]
The other week I talked about how I use Skype to keep in touch with family that lives far away, but I also use Skype for work. I use the chat feature to talk shop with other blogger friends and I use the video feature to have long distance meetings with contractors and other people… [read more]
