This Christmas Charcuterie Board has a red, white, and green theme for a festive spread! Follow the step-by-step instructions to learn exactly how to put it together to create a beautiful board for your holiday events.  A Red, White, and Green Cheese Board! My Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board has been such a successful post, and it’s one of my favorites of all time on the blog!

Since turning 40 my health has become even more of a priority. Here are some ways I’m prioritizing my health this year. Affiliate links included. 40 was a turning point I don’t know if it was something physical or just the psychological effect of crossing “over the hill,” but within the last year, I’ve really started to want to optimize my health in a more deliberate way. I think this is common for people around my age, who might be done having kids and are well into their adulting years. I’ve listened to a lot of Jenna Kutcher’s health story on her podcast, and much of what she has said resonates with me.  When I was younger, I felt like the glass was half full. It appeared that real food, movement, and fresh air were all I needed to sustain good health. But now that I’m feeling my body age, I feel the need to help it along the way. Enter: a few more supplements, tools, and routines to achieve that goal. You’ve seen the memes about sleep as you age: In your 20s y...
