Do you drink enough of water? I know I could do a lot better! Up for a challenge?
When properly hydrated, our skin is nourished which prevents aging, our body is better at eliminating toxins, we have more energy throughout the day and we sleep better at night.
So for my annual September restart I’m joining clinical nutritionist @Stephanieg108 in a #waterchallenge💦
I’m committing to drinking half my body weight in water for 21 days 😱 and of course, I want you guys to come along for the ride!!!
On Monday, September 7th, we officially start @maed’s #waterchallenge
Here’s how you can join in:
For 21 days drink half your weight in water with 25% of your daily water intake consumed first thing in the morning before coffee or breakfast.
For example, if you weigh 150lbs, your goal is to drink 75oz of water per day.
If your water target is 75oz, you should try for close to 20oz of water upon rising.
*Increase that amount if you’re sweating a lot from exercise or time in a sauna.
🤔 ARE YOU IN?
Head over to @MAED, where we’ll be flooding the site with stories dedicated to water wellness. Bonus: Subscribe to our newsletter for an exclusive giveaway valued over $350 for one lucky challenge participant.

My kitchen = my oasis! And keeping it free from toxins is a major priority for me. After a gazillion texts and DMs I’m sharing some of my favorite safer and non-toxic options for cookware, kitchen tools and utensils. Cooking healthy meals with organic food is 💯 but you also want to be sure that your cookware isn’t leaching high levels of harmful toxins into your food. Wanna know what I use in my kitchen everyday?
👀 my bio for my guide to safer & non-toxic cookware & kitchen utensils. #linkinbio
PS so much love to @jennapeffley for capturing this sweet photo of me & 👸 in our kitchen. #maedmama

I’ve thought about her 1st day of Kindergarten and what it would be like so many times over the last 5 years. In every version in my head, I never thought it would look like this but here we are!
Here she goes... her first full week of Kindergarten. I did as much as I could to make moving into Kindergarten feel special. We went back-to-school shopping and I decorated a little area just for her to call her own.
And even though going to school means meeting her classmates online in mama’s office, I hope 👸 feels celebrated and excited about this monumental milestone.
Sending my love to all the other parents out there who are trying their best to make lemonade out of lemons. This is a bigger challenge than any of us imagined but somehow, someway— we got this! 👊🏽💥 #virtuallearning #distancelearning #maedmama

#AD It’s been 8 months since 👸 was gifted an @Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet. At the time no parent could have imagined that our small children would be relying so heavily on devices for learning. To get 👸 ready for school this summer, we made sure to load her favorite device with a ton of educational content. I utilized the parental controls to ensure that she completed 30 minutes of reading daily before anything else.
As well as used Apps like Teach Your Monster to Read and ABC Ride to keep her engaged in creative play, while exposing her to spelling and phonetics. There’s even free content from PBS Kids that’s introduced her to new vocabulary and sparked her love for science experiments. The time spent with her Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet not only kept her ready for school this summer but it also showed her that virtual leaning could be fun. How have you been getting your little ones #readyforschool? #AskAlexa
