Girl Boss | Lisa Goldbaum of YummyHealth

Girl Boss | Lisa Goldbaum of YummyHealth

Totally inspired by Sophia Amoruso’s book of the same name, Girl Boss is a series focused on fierce, determined women who go with their gut and create their dream businesses in the process.

When I was introduced to the work Lisa Goldbaum has done with her company YummyHealth, I experienced one of those moments when you become totally jealous that you didn’t think of something. You know those moments, right? The kind when someone has taken an experience you’ve struggled with and come up with a solution that works—and well.

Unsatisfied with the so-called “healthy” snack options on the market for kids, Lisa didn’t just shrug her shoulders and throw her hands in the air. Instead, she took action and created a line of quick, healthy snacks that provide kids with a burst of energy without the crash that comes after eating a lot of sugar and processed starch.

For more on Lisa and the inspiration behind YummyHealth as well as thoughts on balance, procrastination and turning a passion into a business, keep reading!

6 Tools That Make Me More Efficient

tools that make me more efficient

tools that make me more efficientThe number one clue that I’m feeling totally overwhelmed is that I start talking about cleaning, organization and efficiency.

Please note that this week’s newsletter (that’s a link to it, for anyone who has been on the fence about signing up) was filled with spring cleaning tips and that this week’s first blog post is dedicated to efficiency.

Perfect, I am not. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a few tricks up my sleeve that might help my partners in imperfection.

Below is a list of six tools I rely on heavily when I’m trying to get my shit together.

Behind the Brand | Little Rabbit Wears

Little Rabbit Wears | Janine and kids

Have you ever met someone on the interwebs and immediately said to yourself This is one of my people? That is exactly how I feel about Janine of Little Rabbit Wears. I immediately loved her style when someone posted a link to her squeal-worthy vintage-inspired girls boutique on Facebook (she had me at vintage). And then I emailed her to see if she wanted to work together and she was so honest and real and excited, I just wanted to hug her through the computer.

I’m incredibly excited to let her share with you guys how she turned her love of shopping into a paycheck—I’m pretty sure it will get some wheels turning in more than a few heads…

Little Rabbit Wears | Janine and kids

My favorite easy reads of all time are the Shopaholic series of books by Sophie Kinsella. I could totally identify with the (somewhat) bumbling, yet stylish main character who loved to spend. Before kids, buying myself treats at the mall was a great pick-me-up. Now that I’m a mama of two, browsing online from the comfort of my bed in my bathrobe while scooping up sale items for my son and daughter has become my new way of relaxing. I love it. I always have. Furthermore, I freaking love a bargain. Seeing closets jammed full of interesting and fun pieces, dresser tops with adorable accessories, and a sweetly organized sock drawer makes me smile. What can I say?

about the momma

Hi! I'm Jen, a freelance writer and girl mom who loves reading the newest children’s books as much as I love a good psychological thriller. I believe fiercely in the power of kindness, empathy, and really good quality chocolate. When I'm not knee-deep in glittery crafts and girl talk, you can probably find me sprawled out on my couch in the middle of a Netflix marathon with dark chocolate smeared on my face. The struggle is real. Learn more about me here.
