When we suddenly found ourselves with regular 3 day weekends (thanks to the excitement of 2020), we made it a priority to get out into nature more. The state of Georgia has an elaborate state park system and we’ve been on a mini-crusade to see as much of it as...

I love Stone Mountain (Georgia). If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a giant rock outcropping just east of Atlanta that kind of seems like the landing spot of a huge meteor millions of years ago. But it’s actually a huge “mountain” of granite that formed from within...

I'm a BYU music ed grad who went on to become a pediatric music therapist in Texas, where I met and married my chiropractor husband (with a whole lot happening in between). While I can barely differentiate between an occiput and a sacrum and really have no business being on a chiropractic website, I can tell you that everything you read here will be based on my real life experience of being married to Brandt. From endless discussions about gut health to encouragement to try barefoot running to his own fast lasting five days--it's a great, kind of weird, life--and one I wouldn't trade for anything.
