Our Real Life

We recently went on our annual trip to one of our favorite u-pick farms for fresh produce, a family adventure together, and lots and lots of apples. There’s something magical about fresh farm air, sunlight, and getting in touch with the food we eat. With gorgeous weather we actually did 3 full laps around the farm, getting 1 1/2 bushels of apples!

And then we made our absolute favorite The Best Apple Crisp, and Smoke Vault Chicken, which were a huge hit with friends and neighbors. A long weekend at home with family, good food, and relaxation was just what we all needed!

I landed in California last week on Thursday for a weekend with Beautycounter– a trip I earned thanks to all of you. I appreciate your love and support… and our shared obsession with gorgeous skin and lashes so much! If you’ve chosen me as your Beautycounter consultant, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know there are a lot of people to choose from and I take the honor seriously. That’s why I’m doing a Week of Giveaways to THANK YOU!

I’ve traveled enough to know what my body likes and doesn’t like… and after a cross country flight, these amazing fresh oysters, glass of water, and alone time with this stunning view were just the recharge I needed! After nourishing myself physically and emotionally (did you know I’m actually an introvert?!) I was ready for a weekend filled with meeting new people – I’ll be sharing more about my trip on both my Instagram page and my Healthy Inside and Out Facebook group, so join me there!

I had a fantastic weekend (thanks to Vee from Authentically Nourished for our day-trip to downtown Santa Barbara with all these gluten-free goodies from Lilac Patisserie!) and an even better birthday celebration on Sunday when I returned home. I took an early (I mean early!!!) flight home because I wanted to land in time to spend part of the day with family. I arrived home in time to have a great dinner with family, thoughtful and amazing presents, my favorite empanadas ordered in from Chicago, and then enjoyed an early bed time! My heart is so full – thank you for all the happy birthday messages and well wishes!

The empanadas are AMAZING, and you can get them shipped frozen right to your door (this was my one birthday request!). I love them so much, that Cassava Chicago agreed to give the first 15 people that order a discount – use the code: PALEOPARENTS15 to get a 15% discount!
