Sprint Set Swim Workout

Swimming is a sport that brings out a lot of feelings among athletes. I find that a lot of people who swam as a kid found themselves burned out — and so, even now, if I ask them to join me for a swim workout, they make a face: via GIPHY And then, we have the folks who never really learned proper form or a variety of strokes, and invariably their response is more like: via GIPHY Look, I get it — I actually find swimming a bunch of easy laps to be pretty peaceful, but, you know, I … like…

The Power of Saying ‘I Am’ to Build Confidence

While the words “I am” have long been used for empowerment and manifestation, it wasn’t until I heard Oprah Winfrey talking about it in her Lifeclass that I took notice. When she said that whatever follows the words “I am” will come looking for you, it gave new meaning to this notion that we can shape the reality of our own lives. It goes like this: Whatever you say after “I am” becomes a declaration of your truth, a statement of who you are. If you use words like “I am exhausted,” or “I am broke,” you are putting that…

This Cooking Web Series Is Adorably Addictive

Do you guys remember when Kristen shared this Tiny House Cooking recipe? via GIPHY Well, every time we’d talk about it or mention it in our editorial meetings, I’d always think of the web series Tiny Kitchen and be, like, OMG, Kristen, you love that, too? via GIPHY And, every time, she’d be, like, Jenn, no — this is for people who live in small spaces, like apartments with little kitchens.

6 Places to Visit With Your Kids This Summer

Summer is fun. Summer liberates my schedule from all the errands, homework, and worries that the school year brings. Oh, wait. I’m a mom … not a teenager counting down the days until I can sleep in until noon. I’m not my 5-year-old making plans for all the places we will visit during summer vacation. Cancel the liberation. Summer vacation as a mother with a school-aged child takes on a new meaning. Now that I’ve experienced a year with my son in school, I’ve indulged in more availability during my day to do things that normally would take more time…
