I’ve said it myself: I need to “clean up” my diet. On the surface, clean = healthy. It means including as many vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and minimally-processed foods as possible each day. That you should try to choose the most nutritious option when possible. Seems innocent and simple enough, no? What if…
Recovery Weekend
Man, I’m glad I lived through last week to pop onto the blog today. I had every intention of posting last Thursday about “when things don’t go as planned” (in reference to last weekend when Bazooka woke up Saturday morning with an awful stomach bug), but then ironically, those plans changed when I came down with the…
5 Food “Rules” I Follow Every Day + WIAW
…Not the kind of title you’d expect on my blog, right? Well, I’m not talking about the typical food “rule.” You know the ones: only low-fat dairy no dessert except on weekends if I eat that cupcake, then I have to run 30 extra minutes on the treadmill just one perfectly-measured TBSP of nut butter,…
Plum Paper 2016 Planner Review
Since one of my goals for the year is to be more organized, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a semi-personalized, high-quality planner. Although I think the Erin Condren Life Planner is beautiful and insanely functional, it was a bit out of my budget. Luckily I discovered Plum Paper—whose regular planners start out at…
5 Blogging Goals for 2016
Hi. Are you sick of these goal-related posts yet? Hopefully I’m not boring you, but if I am, you can rest assured that this will be my last of this topic for a while. From one day to the next, I question my blog. One day I love it and have pipe dreams of growing…
Currently // January 2016
Hi there! Hope Monday is treating you well thus far. I’ve got to say, after two wonderful family and friend filled weekends in a row, it was amazing having a quiet couple of days to unwind, take down the Christmas decorations, and do some meal-planning/grocery shopping. But…weekends must come to an end, and today I’m…
What I Hope to Teach My Son…
It’s no secret that the last few months have been stressful for my husband and me as parents. I had the misfortune of giving birth to a tiny child (sarcasm here—there’s nothing unfortunate about my sweet Bazooka Boy) whose small size and low weight apparently keep his doctors awake at night despite all other signs…
Blue Apron: An Honest Review
Ever since I first read about meal delivery services on other blogs, I was intrigued. I’m not a natural-born cook. I need thorough directions, plenty of prep time, and as few distractions as possible. Cooking just makes me nervous and I’m awful at multitasking (says the woman who started a food blog). And despite the…
Fitness Goals for the New Year
Here we are at the start of the first full week of 2016! It doesn’t seem real to me how quickly time has passed. I waivered on writing this post since I hate the commercialized push of “getting into shape” and “ditching the holiday weight gain” and “becoming your best self in the new year”…
A Plan of Action in 2016
Happy New Year, my friends. Whether you were out on the town or snuggled under blankets at home, I hope you welcomed in 2016 with loved ones and good vibes! Part of me is sad to say au revoir to another year, but another part of me is more than ready for what 2016 has…
