Hi! We’re Laith and Maria — a husband-and-wife team on a lifelong journey to live better, age stronger, and simplify along the way. Since getting married in 2013, we’ve shared a love for life, learning, and creating habits that support lasting health and happiness.

​

A few years ago, we made a commitment to take our wellness seriously — not through trends or strict rules, but through small, consistent changes that make a big difference over time. What started with improving our nutrition and losing weight has expanded into something much bigger: redefining what wellness means for us in every area of life.

​

Now, our journey includes not just healthy eating and real-food recipes, but also decluttering our spaces, planning our next move, managing stress, and even exploring creative outlets like LEGO building as a form of mindfulness and mental wellness.

​

We’re not doctors, fitness gurus, or influencers chasing perfection — we’re two everyday people in midlife learning to build a lifestyle that feels good and fits real life. Our goal is to inspire others who want the same — to make steady progress, find balance, and enjoy the process instead of chasing extremes that never last.

​

Here you’ll find our stories, recipes, reflections, and experiments as we keep discovering new ways to simplify, heal, and grow — one small step at a time.
