    Three Ingredient Paleo Cherry Pie Bars

    February 14, 2019 / No Comments

    I vastly underestimated how much I would LOVE being a homeowner. As someone who tends to take commitments pretty seriously, owning a home has always been one which sounded a bit overwhelming. Yes, although I realize that homes can always be sold and you can still move if you ever wanted to or needed to - it still seemed like a scary commitment. However, after we have been living here for about a month and a half, we have been hard at work making upgrades to the house and it has been tremendously rewarding and fun. I now totally get everyone's obsession with all things HGTV,

    Exploring Colorado: The Value of Nature and a Paleo Trail Mix

    September 6, 2018 / No Comments

    There are probably very few absolute truths, ideas or recommendations that everyone will agree on out there. But one that I have yet to find hotly disputed is the value of nature and being outside.  Across a variety of different areas of research and expertise, across time and cultures, in literature, media, and in daily life it seems that a constant element of the "good life" includes time spent in and an appreciation for nature.  Beautiful landscapes and wildlife can be awe inspiring and rejuvenating in ways that cannot be paralleled.  And thankfully, over the past month my many travels have included ample opportunity for time spent out and in…

    The Benefits of Reading Fiction and Dark Chocolate Paleo Granola

    July 31, 2018 / No Comments

    I am definitely what one would call a creature of habit and love my routine oh-so-much. Recently my guided journal provided me with a writing prompt to describe the ideal/perfect morning. And to be honest, as I considered the idea, it didn't look all that much different than business as usual. I'd still get up early (usually between 5-530 AM) surrounded by my little fam and I'd prefer to eat one of my "normal" breakfast foods in my kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand and messy bun atop my head, before I head out to teach and take barre. Initially when I think about these types of questions,…

    Emotional Contagion and Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites

    April 4, 2018 / No Comments

    Have you ever stopped to really consider the tremendous impact that those around you have upon your experience of any given situation? Most people have noticed that the jokes in their favorite sitcom are much funnier when accompanied by a fellow couch-mate than when on one’s own, and the breathtaking sunset is even more spectacular when we are with someone else to share in awe with us. Similarly, when your Debbie Downer colleague walks into the office grumbling about Monday again, the week ahead may not seem as unsurmountable to you as it does to her, but certainly doesn’t lift your spirits. When we are around those who are sad,…

    I would generally consider myself someone who really likes to have clear expectations set, be in control, know the plan and stick to it.  I would not consider myself to be very spontaneous, but I suppose moderately flexible.  Since I am an Upholder, I sometimes find myself hesitant or reluctant to take on new things because I don’t want them to crowd out the things I have already started on because of course, we all have limited resources (time, attention, money, etc.) and I am not one to commit to something unless I know that I can see it through to the very end.  When I take on a new…

    Optimism is something I really never gave too much consideration to.  I have always really prided myself on being a realist – not overly pessimistic or cynical, but definitely not an unfailing hopeful (although I suspect many people may choose to classify themselves in this way, just as everyone insists they are a “better than average driver.”  Except me. I am a terrible driver and I don’t care.  I blissfully have not attempted to drive in about 3.5 years now and I love it).  However, I have the opportunity to work for one of the most eternally optimistic people that have ever walked the earth.  My boss is unfailingly positive…

    Positive Thinking, the AIM Method, and Spirulina Bliss Balls

    January 15, 2018 / No Comments

    I wrote not too long ago about the Cognitive Triangle which describes the interplay between the way we think, feel, and act.  Although we may mistakenly believe that one always influences the other, there is a lot of evidence which shows that in reality, each of these processes actually both affects and is affected by the others.  In that post I considered the ways that acting the way we want to feel can lead to a shift in our emotions, which is something I have tried to remember in my day-to-day experiences.  But more recently I read about the power of positive thinking on our subjective well-being in Ed Diener…

    Since I have such an intense affinity for a good routine, it may not come as a shock that I am also a big fan of traditions! While discussing my trip back home with someone this past week, I was asked about some of the holiday traditions and rituals that my family observes. As I excitedly told her about decorating gingerbread houses, Christmas Eve with the extended family, and Christmas morning stockings with the immediate family in pajamas, I immediately felt a surge of happiness rush through me. As I basked in the glow of cheerful anticipation, I was reminded of what I had read earlier in the year in…

    I have mentioned previously that I am in the middle of my own year long Happiness Project, which means that each month I choose a particular key area of my life to focus on, setting a few resolutions to work on in that arena with the overall objective of improving my habits, health, and happiness through small and specific actions. It’s been a few months now and I can say that although I don’t earn a “gold star” for every resolution every day, I have been successful in forming several new and positive habits which support the overall aim. Along with the resolutions, I also usually try to read books related…

    August 28, 2017 / No Comments

    This past week (or maybe two or three, who knows I am struggling to keep track at this point!) has been an absolute whirlwind. I have become inundated with projects, meetings, deliverables, and other time consuming activities and feeling like I am constantly running from one thing to the next. Of course some of the busyness is self-induced and energy spent on activities that I love, but unfortunately a lot of it has involved obligations and responsibilities that I have less passion for to say the least. And I know that I am not alone as we transition from summer to fall, a lot of people can agree the change…

About Me

Hi!  I’m Miranda and I am beyond excited to have a platform to share my passion for cooking real (but still delicious) foods, enthusiasm for all things barre, and thoughts and ideas on a building a more healthy, holistic, and happy lifestyle. I am a Christian, a wife, a puppy mom, a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP) in training, and a barre and Pilates instructor who recently became a homeowner back home after living as an expat in Ireland for a few years.  Aside from getting sweaty working out and experimenting in the kitchen, I love to read, write, learn, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
