WOAH! What a difference Miami Summer is compared to NorCal Summer! Most days CJ and I cannot be outside for longer than 30 minutes without hydrating and calming rosy cheeks.

This is a sponsored conversation brought to you by Manitoba Harvest. As always, all opinions are my own. About a year and a half ago I was speaking on a panel and was asked the question: “How do you sustain a healthy lifestyle while constantly on-the-go?” At the time, I was about 3-months postpartum and my “mom brain” left me …
