Being a mom is challenging. Although our responsibilities and lifestyles vary, I’m sure that all mothers could agree on two things: we’re always busy and we’re always tired. Before Baby M, I had a good bit of leisure time. I worked 8-5, but I could spend my evenings (and mornings, if I chose) as I…

One Million Minutes: Week 5
Heeeelllllooooo lovelies! I hope you’re well-rested and energized from your weekend. Can you even believe it’s almost August?! August is a big deal for us because…WE REGISTERED BABY M FOR DAYCARE! I’m simultaneously heart-broken and excited for him. As I’ve mentioned, my mother injured her ankle and has a long recovery ahead of her, so…
Weekly Links: 07.26.15
Amazingly, I’m sitting down to blog. Per usual, this weekend flew by. Yesterday Mark, Baby M, and I ran some errands and today we had some lunch at Jason’s Deli before visiting my parents to bring them some dinner (since my mom is still recovering from her surgery). These reads are from last week and…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 4
Hi! Why is it Monday already? This past week and weekend were quite busy: visited my mom at the hospital on Tuesday, took Baby M to his well check after work on Wednesday (long visit…the doctor was running behind!), and relaxed (well, as much as possible) Thursday and Friday evenings. Saturday we (the hubs, father-in-law,…
Thinking Out Loud 07.16.15
1. I wanted to pop in yesterday for a What I Ate Wednesday post (I even photographed all my meals Tuesday—except for dinner), but since I got home late Tuesday (visiting my mom in the hospital after her surgery) and yesterday (Baby M’s 9-month well check), I just didn’t feel like staring at the computer again. So…
Trying Essential Oils
I’m not a stranger to holistic and natural healing. I know yoga has helped me with anxiety, I swear by apple cider vinegar and raw honey to ward off colds, and I believe a host of modern ailments can be healed or prevented with diet rather than pills. Nevertheless, I’ve always run from the you-know-there’s-an-oil-for-that crowd. I…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 3
Oh heeeeyyy there. Truth be told, I forgot all about this update until I got to work this morning. And then I got too busy to actually post it. Last week started off on the right foot, but since I apparently came down with a crazy allergy attack (watery eyes and a runny, sneezy nose…
Thinking Out Loud: Mommy Guilt
Let’s have some real talk today. As Baby M approaches his 9 month birthday this Saturday, I’ve been reflecting on my new life as “mommy.” Motherhood is more rewarding and fulfilling than I ever imagined. On days where I’m exhausted from late nights or stressed from a busy week at work, nothing makes me feel…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 2
Hi there! Hope your Fourth of July was safe and fun. Ours was nontraditional, but the muffulettas we ate were pretty darn tasty. Last week was a heckuva week. Needless to say, my exercise plans got derailed a bit. I didn’t even make it to the gym once. My mother (who watches Baby M during the work…
Summer Hydration + DIY Strawberry Water
During a cardio barre class a few weeks ago, I noticed something: I sweat a lot! This shouldn’t have come as a surprise for me, considering I used to practice Bikram yoga 3 times a week and would always return home looking like I’d run through a sprinkler. //via// I don’t know what it is,…
