If I’ve learned one thing throughout my pregnancy and first year as a mother, it’s this: our bodies are remarkable, and we could do a great deal of good to trust them. I’m sure you’ve heard—when someone is asked what kind of diet or exercise regimen they follow—“oh, I just listen to my body.” In fact,…

#BOSUStrong Challenge: Week 3
Hi there! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad today is over. Not that it was a particularly bad day (it was actually a good one), but the weekend was a little stressful after our GI appointment for Baby M. He’s fine—we just need to stuff him silly and make him gain weight. Anyway,…
Motherhood: What I *Said* vs. What I *Did*
When you’re newly pregnant, everybody seems to know what’s best for you. Much of the advice you receive is useful and well-meaning, yet sometimes it causes you to roll your eyes and mutter “whatever, I’ll never do that” in response. As cliché as it sounds, the best advice or expectation new mothers can take to…
#BOSUstrong Challenge: Week 2 (Balance)
Hi there! Hope your week is off to a good start. How was your weekend? Ours was busy; we drove to New Orleans for a special someone’s 2nd birthday party. Sunday was spent relaxing after Baby M finally slept through the night again! Let’s hope this trend continues. Moving on… If you forgot to join…
My First Guest Post!
Good morning! I’m exhausted. And I can’t begin to express how grateful I am that it’s Friday. A certain someone (hint: it’s not me, my husband, or the dog) will NOT sleep. At least this is just a phase. I’m thrilled to tell you that my very first guest post is being shared by the…
Thinking Out Loud 09.17.15
1. I didn’t really intend to disappear from the blog—but to be honest, I contemplated staying away until the weekend. Sometimes a little time away from the computer (besides the 8 hours I spend at it each day) is just what you need. 2. So…getting old stinks. Cardio barre was great Monday night, but I…
Weekend Wrap Up + #BOSUStrong Challenge
Happy (late) Monday to you! Hope you’re well-rested and ready for the week. Today I’m skipping my “Meal Plan Monday” post because, to be 100% honest, we didn’t do much planning last week and ate a bunch of random things (cereal on Monday night—Five Guys takeout on Wednesday, I think). It was already a short…
What I Ate Wednesday At Home (Let’s Not Make This A Habit)
Greetings! Normally I shy away from What I Ate Wednesday posts (I like reading ’em, just don’t normally like doing them myself), but since both the baby and I stayed home from daycare/work sick yesterday, I actually took photos of my meals (well, most of them). Even though I was at home, this is really no…
Meal Plan Monday 09.07.15
Hi there! I hope most of you are off work and enjoying free time this Labor Day surrounded by family and friends. And, if you’re one of the unlucky having to work, well, I hope your day is going smoothly. Yesterday I shared a few ways we’re trying to rein in our grocery spending, and…
Healthy Eating On A Budget
I meant to publish this this morning—oops! Instead, I went to my first hot yoga class since March (the last time I’d been regularly was in February 2014, before I found out I was pregnant with Baby M!). It felt great, but I’m sure I won’t be saying that tomorrow! Anyway, since Baby M was…
