Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha Green Tea Review
Recently I was contacted by a representative at Kiss Me Organics to see if I would be interested in reviewing their Organic Matcha. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of traditional green tea; I find it a bit bitter and always have to add a lot of sweetener to it. Nevertheless, I’ve heard…
#LetLoose2014 for National Stress Awareness Month
I’ve mentioned before that April is one of my favorite months of the year, but did you know that it’s also National Stress Awareness Month? We all lead busy, often-stressful lives, which is why I’m taking part in Vegas.com’s #LetLoose2014 event. I’ve been to Las Vegas twice (for my honeymoon in 2008 and on vacation…
What I Ate Wednesday: Getting Some Veggie Love
Guys, I’ve seriously been slacking. Apart from my awesome whole food/all-natural prenatal vitamins, poor Baby M is getting very little veggie-based nutrition these days. I just can’t help it; carbs (and Cadbury eggs) are delicious! This week, however, I’m aiming to change that. Monday night included a vegetable—ok, fungus—based entrée, and I rounded out the…
Meal Plan Monday 04.21.14
In an effort to prove that I actually do cook (well, that Mark cooks while I “supervise”), I thought I’d start sharing some of our meal plans. This probably won’t be a weekly thing—but since we spent half our life savings a good bit of money at the grocery this past Saturday (we hadn’t been…

I hope everybody (who celebrates) has had a beautiful Easter surrounded by family, friends, and good food. Our Easter was lovely. We went to mass at St. Joseph Chapel at Spring Hill College and had an early dinner at my parents later in the afternoon. Now we’re just relaxing in front of the TV. Before…
Herbed Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, & Tomato Grilled Cheese
I’m generally a big fan of April. Flowers are in bloom, the weather is still cool and spring-like, it’s Mark’s and my anniversary (#6 this year!), and it’s usually the kickoff of fun outdoor events that carry on into the summer. But this year, I’m especially fond of April because I’ve learned it’s also National…
Weekly Links 04.13.14
Hello, there. I hope everybody is having a fabulous, relaxing Sunday. We’ve had a great weekend; my in-laws arrived Friday night and left this afternoon after a delicious lunch at Ed’s Seafood Shed. Saturday morning I ran the 8K By The Bay, my first-ever 8K. The fog lifted just before the race started at 8:00, and while…
Weekly Links 04.06.14
Hi, there! I can’t believe it’s already Sunday; this weekend was a lot of fun, but it was also pretty exhausting. Friday night we went to the school for an alumni happy hour for my husband’s fraternity, and Saturday morning, plenty early but not so bright, I ran the Run of the Hill 5K on…
Taking a Break from Bikram…
I didn’t want to do it, but after learning of my pregnancy, I thought it best to take an indefinite break from my beloved Bikram yoga. My last practice was February 9th, the day before my 30th birthday, since I purposely wanted to end my twenties with quality time in the hot room. Looking back,…
