Balancing Life on a Balance Board

Check out this video of me “balancing life” on a balance board.

Here is the balance board I use at home. You can find a lot of my favorite products on my Amazon store at smarturl.it/shopamazon

One Car Experiment Update: Month 3

Ugh rain!!!! I was loving our one-car status until the winter rain hit.

As a native Californian, I appreciate the rain. We always need it. But the last few winters have been very dry. Not this one!

How do people bike in the rain? I know there are people who live in cities with real weather who bike all the time, but nothing makes me want to jump in a car like a little precipitation. I found a great website with info about biking in the rain, and if it were just me on a bike I might invest in all the clothing they recommend, however, I don’t feel like it’s safe asking my little one to bike in the rain. Guess we’ll be doing a lot of Uber!

Not giving up on being a one-car family yet, but I didn’t just do some research on cars.

Please share your thoughts/advice on biking in wet weather below!

Flamethrower: Laird Hamilton

Laird Hamilton might not know it, but he’s one of my mentors. I always love reading what he’s up to, and his book FORCE OF NATURE is on my coffee table and is one of the tomes I am modeling my own book after. In fact, if I had to describe the editorial voice of Ember Living I would say it is equal parts Laird Hamilton, Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey (in alphabetical order) filtered  through the lens of sustainability and parenting.

Here is a recent LA TIMES article on Laird with his 10-tips for staying active and vital at 51, but applicable at ANY age!
