Hi! I'm Alexandra, and I love food…

…but I love people more.

 

We started by helping brides make Soulful, Healthy, Eating Decisions to help them look and feel their best for the big day and beyond. But as life grew, we realize it is so much bigger than that. It’s about making soulful healthy beings. And sure, some of that comes down to eating healthy, nutritious foods, but it’s, more importantly, about connecting to your soul and knowing you are being a force for good in this world.

I have been in the trenches of early motherhood. And since I became pregnant with my now 18-month old I’ve been living in a state of confusion of my own path and the path of SHED. I took a long hiatus, and just embraced the mom-life, but I miss
I’m just laying dead on the couch after a never ending sugar crash from the stupid glucose test I had today (see my stories) and I am so wishing we had the right ingredients to make the viral #fetapasta again. So I thought I would share my thou
My review of #lighttherapy is live on the blog today! Spoiler: I really think it works amazingly!! I started using it when I have my morning coffee and feeding James his breakfast (I just tilt away from his face). I used the lowest setting for the

Nothing feels homier than a bowl of chicken noodle soup on a chilly fall day. The aroma, the warmth. It always makes me happy. Light a candle, put on Harry Potter, and I’m blissed out! I’m not going to give you a recipe for chicken noodle
