If you know me well, then you know I try to avoid chemical and pharmaceutical remedies and medications whenever possible. I prefer going the natural route, whether it’s by drinking apple cider vinegar and honey to ward off a sore throat or cold, rinsing my mouth with coconut oil, or cleaning my kitchen sink with lemon…

Transformation Tuesday
Chances are, if you have Facebook or Instagram, you’ve seen the hashtag #transformationtuesday and the oodles of weight loss/weight gain photos accompanying it. Bodies transformed from loose to ripped, pre- and post-pregnancy comparisons, or even an underweight frame with a healthy smile and few added pounds are common themes. I think it’s great to celebrate…

How is it already Sunday evening? This weekend went by rapidly, to say the least. Saturday I got a hair cut and treated myself to a mani-pedi before we took our maternity pictures at the botanical gardens. Why we chose the hottest day of the summer to take pictures outside, I’ve yet to figure out, but…

Happy Sunday, friends! Today will be spent running errands, relaxing, and enjoying a backyard barbecue with my husband and dad. While my mom is out of town, we thought we’d be nice and feed my dad at least one night. I hope everybody’s weekend is going well. Yesterday Mark and I ate lunch at Spring…
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins
Bananas are quite simply one of my favorite fruits.

Throughout my pregnancy, though, bananas and I have had a rocky relationship. After I realized I was pregnant, I noticed that bananas…

After a long, hot, and tiring day in New Orleans yesterday, I almost skipped putting this post together, but then that would negate the whole “weekly” thing. We had a lot of fun yesterday, although I did have a cranky pregnant lady moment whenever the hostess at Stanley, our usual lunch spot, supposedly texted us…
Thinking Out Loud 08.07.14
Hi, friends! Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running With Spoons for some Thinking Out Loud. 1. I had big plans for a blog post yesterday—and they fell through (story of my life). You know how seemingly every day is a food holiday? Well, yesterday was National Root Beer Float Day, and I was…
Babalu Tacos & Tapas Review
Remember when this used to be a food blog and not just a pregnancy update + link round-up excuse for a blog? Yeah, I’m struggling to remember, too. I’ll talk about how busy I am and what future plans I have for foodiEcology another day, however, because I promised a restaurant review a month ago,…

I hope everybody is having a great weekend! Yesterday, Mark and I didn’t even leave the house. We did accomplish a lot of work in the nursery, however, by hanging the decorations above the crib and dresser and working on some paintings. It already looks great, and I can’t wait to see the finished product….
