Top o’ the morning to you. Let’s talk about food. On Monday morning, I broke out the boots, wore a light jacket, enjoyed my hot coffee more than usual, and made hot oatmeal for the first time in ages. This batch needed a bit more cooking water (I eye-balled the measurement), but they hit the…
Meal Plan Monday: 10.05.15
Hi! How was your weekend? Ours was good. Saturday we did a bit of shopping for the babe; however, it was for winter clothes he actually needed, which doesn’t break the rules of yesterday’s post. Sunday we went downtown for a free concert, visited the brand new Whole Foods, and prepped for the upcoming week’s meals and…
Fasting & Purging: 4 Months of Cutting Back on Spending & Clutter
For many months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about clutter (mental and physical “clutter,” but today’s post is about the latter). Specifically, how I have too much of it and that it’s suffocating me. I’m the worst procrastinator and packrat (thanks, parents!), so you can only imagine how those 2 traits have created a…
Just some thoughts… {Thinking Out Loud}
1. It’s October 1st! Wow. It’s Baby M’s birthday month—and it’s so incredibly difficult for me to wrap my head around that fact. I was just pregnant! We were just coming home from the hospital, absolutely in love but petrified that we wouldn’t know what to do with or how to take care of our…
Body Knows Best
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…
