Summers down South are pretty brutal, but there’s one thing we will celebrate no matter how high the humidity climbs or how many hurricanes are churning in the Gulf: food. We simply adore food. We love food so much, that while lunching with friends, our conversation is likely centered on that epic brunch we enjoyed…
National Running Day 2015
Good morning to you! Not only is today Hump Day—it’s National Running Day. Last year I shared with you why I run, but this year I thought I would share something fun. Since my last 5K, I haven’t done much running. I’m sure some of you dedicated folks can tough it out, but to me,…
Sunset Pointe Review
Early last month, Mark and I enjoyed lunch at the fairly new Sunset Pointe restaurant at Fly Creek Marina. The location itself isn’t new—it was once home to the Fly Creek Café—but Pete Blohme’s recent incarnation opened early this year (Pete is also the owner of Panini Pete’s, one of my favorite local sandwich spots,…
National Stroller Running Day 2015
Short notice here—babies make for busy mommies!—but today I wanted to pop in and share a really cool event that’s coming up on Sunday, May 31: Stroller Running Day! I don’t know about you other moms, but in my early postpartum days, nothing felt better than getting outside for a stroll. Whether it was for…
What I Ate Wednesday 05.27.15
Happy Hump Day! It’s been a little while since we talked food on here—so let’s skip the pleasantries and talk about what I’ve been eating lately. Had I thought about taking out my camera this weekend, I would’ve done a “What I Ate Memorial Day” edition, but, alas, I kept the phone away. Partially because…
Smart Coffee App Review
I’ve been a fan of coffee for many years. In fact, my love for it first began to brew (pun intended) when I was a teenager and would wake up early during holiday breaks to have a cup of coffee with my dad while reading the newspaper. In college, I grew to appreciate coffee on…
Why I Hate The Terms "Cheat Meal" and "Cheat Day"
I’ve never been a yo-yo dieter, nor have I over-exercised myself to the point of exhaustion. Nevertheless, even with my own lax nutritional and fitness “rules,” I’ve felt guilt. //via// I’ve felt guilty when I spent too many hours on the sofa watching a Breaking Bad marathon, or, once again, went an entire week without…
For Two Fitness Mother’s Day (Week?) Giveaway!
I hope all you mothers and moms-to-be had a very special day yesterday. Today, I am thrilled to partner with For Two Fitness for an amazing post-Mother’s Day giveaway. If you recall, I wore For Two Fitness apparel through my pregnancy with Baby M and fell in love with their style, comfort, and quality. For Two…
Mother’s Day + Weekly Links
I feel like this quote says everything, so I won’t even try. //via// It’s been an incredible year since I got a taste of Mother’s Day a whole 12 months ago when I was pregnant with Baby M. Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, mother-in-law, Grannie, and Grandma M. And also to my own Gee…
My Breastfeeding Journey
It still shocks me that it’s been almost 7 months since we welcomed Baby M into the world. I actually wrote this post roughly a month ago, but I wanted to share an update—one I originally thought I’d never achieve: 6 months of (nearly) exclusive breastfeeding! Early in my pregnancy, I knew I wanted to breastfeed. While…
