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,…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 1
Greetings! Hope your week is off to a good start. Recently I became a Sweat Pink Ambassador with Fit Approach, and from June 21 until August 21, we’re doing #1MillionMinutes. If it isn’t obvious, the community’s goal is to accumulate 1 million minutes of activity—be it running, cycling, walking, lifting, interval training, yoga, you name…
Weekly Links 06.28.15
Happy Sunday! What an eventful week it’s been. ♥ This past week was slow (both at work and on the blog, evidently), but the weekend was much-appreciated. Saturday was spent running some errands, getting froyo, and trying to soothe a super fussy baby. I think he’s teething and going through a big developmental leap, because nothing seems…
On the Right Foot: Kushyfoot Review
Let’s talk about feet. Oh, you mean that doesn’t entice you to hang around? Maybe I should’ve said let’s talk about Kushyfoot®. Recently Lipton Publicity sent me a package of assorted Kushyfoot® products to review. In case you’ve never heard of them, Kushyfoot® is a hosiery/footwear company whose stylish products feature specially designed soles that…
