The first time I went kayaking was around 8 years ago. I went to Tempe Town Lake and absolutely loved it. I knew that I wanted a kayak just from that one outing. It took a few years, but when I moved to Kentucky, one of the first things that I did was to buyContinue reading “Kayaking at Lake Wilgreen”

Mushroom and Chicken Quesadillas
If you have been to the Phoenix area, this might mean more to you, but… my family’s favorite “nice” restaurant growing up was Garcia’s. Most visited? Filiberto’s. Favorite fast food? Del Taco 😆 So needless to say, living in the Southwest, I ate a lot of Mexican and Mexican American food. I’ve been cooking mostContinue reading “Mushroom and Chicken Quesadillas”
Rock Climbing at Cathedral Domain
😭 I FINALLY made it climbing outside again! I will be the first person to admit that I am NOT an expert climber. Now, don’t get me wrong with what I am about to say- I absolutely love pushing myself.

South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip Part 2!
I am constantly amazed at the variety of nature across the US. I guess that it shouldn’t be very surprising as it is geographically a very large country, but it truly never ceases to amaze me. I can’t say that I had ever hiked a forest to ocean trail before. Enter the Awendaw passage. EveryContinue reading “South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip Part 2!”
South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip
The beach is my happy place. Remember when I said that my next adventure was going to be a big one? Most of my childhood summer vacations were to somewhere in nature. National Parks, local nature preserves and lakes- camping, hiking, hanging out. This was before cell phones were around or were smart. And IContinue reading “South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip”

At around .25 per packet that makes for a quick and affordableContinue reading “How to Make Oatmeal That You Will Actually Want to Eat”

April Yoga Hike
April showers bring May flowers. And for some reason only crazy people go hiking in the rain. I happen to be one of those people. It isn’t usually all that bad if you wear hiking shoes with good tread. It is usually very cold rain. There are two really good things about hiking on rainyContinue reading “April Yoga Hike”
First YouTube Video
I published my first video on YouTube! This is not so much a flow, as a pre-yoga or pre-workout warmup. I find that if I jump right into a yoga class, it can be a bit uncomfortable on my wrists, hips, or hamstrings. So I usually do some mobility work before I start a class.Continue reading “First YouTube Video”
