Don’t Be Tricked
As with many people, I began the year with the intention on eating healthier and also working on our food budget. I’m not sure what possessed me to tackle two major things at once, but I felt they went hand-in-hand really. Towards the end of last year, we not only let our daily eating habits...
A Few of Dr Jen’s Favorite Things
Here is a list of a few my favorite things if you’re still searching for the perfect gift for a family member or friend for the Holidays. I’m a pretty frugal shopper, so these items are all on the lower cost end and get you the biggest bang for buck! T-Pin! Vector Take foam rolling...
Healthy Brown Bag Lunches
It’s that time of year again…back to school!! In my mind, I picture parents dancing around while the kids are moping and dragging their backpacks along behind them.

It Takes A Village
As you all know, a few months ago we came together as a community to help one of our own. This past February we held our fundraiser for Danielle to help her and her family while she was searching for a kidney donor. If you all remember learning of her story, she had been on...
The Unicorn Outrage – Lessons For Us All
I’m sure by now, you all have heard about and seen more than a few pictures of the very limited Unicorn Frappuccino that came out recently. I’ll begin this blog with stating that yes, in fact, I did order and drink one (hey, I still have a 10 year old kid residing inside me!) and...
What Example Are You Setting?
Recently while out walking on one of my favorite neighborhood trails I was able to bear witness to one of those seemingly small yet impactful moments. A mother with three young children was out there getting one of her workouts in. She was jogging while pushing a stroller with her youngest in it while her...
