Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Before I dive into today’s post, I want to let you know that today I am guest-posting on (a different) Amanda’s blog, Unapologetically You, and sharing a *healthy* green beverage for getting into the spirit. Be sure to check it out here! I have no intention of ever discussing political beliefs…
Currently // March 2016
How was your weekend? I’d intended to have this published yesterday but didn’t sit down at the computer again. Sunday was beautiful, but Friday and Saturday were CRUMMY with all the rain. We spent a good part of Saturday indoors, but we did manage to grab some Chipotle for lunch (Bazooka ate quite a bit…
Leprechaun Bait
So, my hometown is kind of infamous. For a leprechaun. Yep, you read that right. Many years ago, an actual news station aired a video of a local man, probably high, who claimed to have seen a leprechaun hiding in a tree. The segment went viral on YouTube and it was even featured on Tosh.0….
The Power of a Single Comment
I probably don’t need to tell you this, but words are powerful. Depending on the tone in which they are said—they have the power to make us feel threatened, empowered, angry, appreciated, or any other number of things. I’m one of those people who often falls prey to words. When angry or upset, I’m quick…
The breastfeeding and weaning post I was afraid to publish
We don’t hear about weaning depression and anxiety too often, but they affect more women than you know. I’m sharing my own postpartum and post-weaning struggles. I’ve mentioned it before, but breastfeeding was initially a struggle. I was close to giving up until I realized that it didn’t matter how my baby was fed as…
Exhaustion isn’t a Merit Badge: An Argument for Holding Back
Push through the pain! You can do ANYTHING for 30 seconds! If you’re not feeling the burn, you’re not doing it right! Don’t think about it, just DO it! Temporary pain for long-term gain! Do these phrases sound familiar? If you’ve ever worked with a trainer or taken a fitness class, you’ve probably heard them…
Why I Don’t Always Buy Organic
Hey there! How’s your week going? Mine hasn’t been too shabby. Bazooka is getting over his cold and is sleeping better (which means we’re sleeping better!), I got in a great BODYPUMP workout last night, and it feels like spring outside so I’ve been enjoying the heck out of my daily walks. If you live in…
A Working Mom’s Struggle to #BeFitAllYear (+ Giveaway)
This post is sponsored by BeFit through my affiliation with Sweat Pink. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I know there are many women who have it tougher than I do (single moms—how do you do it?!), but it goes without saying that sometimes I struggle to take care of myself. Specifically,…
Thinking Out Loud With A Survey
Hey, guys! Hope you’re having a lovely Thursday. Just hang in there—the weekend is right around the corner! Even though I have a ridiculous number of drafts in my folder, I thought I’d share a light-hearted post today. I saw this survey first on Peanut Butter Fingers, but I’ve seen it a number of places…
An Open Letter To The Women Who Read Healthy Living Blogs
I often have mixed feelings about the healthy living blogging community. I’ve come across some relatable and encouraging posts, I’ve shaken my head in disgust at certain images or quotes on Instagram, and I’ve even read a few blogs where I’ve developed a concern for the author’s health (based only on what I’ve read, of…
