Life can be pretty simple and perfect sometimes. We were gifted a glorious weekend on a sweet secluded lake in Western Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Fishing, fire, wine, lots of yoga, stories, hammock naps, bunkbeds, bugs, early morning, row boats, sunshine, frog song, and lots of time and space under the big cedar trees and sky. Thank you Irene and Mark for your generosity and use of "The Cabin."
Nature. Nature. Nature. For me, that is the medicine for everything. Yoga, Meditation and Nature. Its where I heal, where I enliven, where I'm most myself, when I feel the weight of anything, its mostly likely when I'm missing one of these. Vitamin N - is essential to my well-being. It a place that Nate and I strive to give to our boys, and we are all better for it.
Last weekend, I took a quick little mama break to take a yoga class in Kohler and then to visit Lake Michigan and the Kohler-Andre Dunes. It was a hot yoga class, a cold day and it was all mine. Grateful to my boys for being just fine without me for the day.
Gathered up a great class and am excited to share it with you this week.
Here's a little look.
Parenting is the most difficult job made so much better with practices, humor, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and gratitude. A delightful, useful, wonderful video for all parents.

Lately, I have noticed that my life is beginning to show up on my face, this is really apparent when I’m not hydrated and feeling stressed, which coincidently usually corresponds with a lapse in eating excellent food, practicing yoga and sitting for my daily meditation. With this, I find I am less able to handle - anything really. For me, self-care is essential, my whole body (mind and soul) reminds me when I forget to take care of myself. When this happens, I find what helps is making an investment. This time, I’m making an investment into my skin by purchasing this: Banyan Botanicials Beauty Balm with Rose and Geranium - a combination of healing, strengthening, nourishing and revitalizing Shatavari and the stress resisting, sustaining, and revitalizing Ayurvedic super-herb Ashwagandha in a base of nutrient and moisture-rich ghee.
