As difficult as it’s been, I’ve been trying to lay off the sweets during my pregnancy. Says the woman who bought cinnamon rolls and 2 slices of cake at the grocery last weekend! I’ve always had a pretty big sweet tooth, but I’ve become pretty good about keeping healthier sweets on-hand (such as these or…
WIAW: Foods That Have Surprised Me
Is it Wednesday already? Although my work days have seemed long (especially the afternoons), the week itself seems to be flying by. I’m not complaining! Since I only photographed a few random meals this week, I figured I’d come up with some sort of theme for today’s What I Ate Wednesday party. I’ve mentioned this…
Virgin Mango Lime Margaritas
Even if I weren’t pregnant—and even if I could consume all the frozen margaritas I desired—I’d be lying if I acted like Cinco de Mayo (or any Mexican dinner night) wasn’t about the glorious, flavorful food. This pregnant, food-obsessed woman can’t wait to bite into a crunchy taco shell and slather homemade guacamole (with extra…
Weekly Links 05.04.14
Happy Sunday, friends. This weekend was absolutely gorgeous. Saturday we slept late, went to lunch at Panini Pete’s in Fairhope, walked along the pier (and came face to face with a heron), and did a whole lot of baby shopping. I think we’ve gone a bit overboard, because Baby M’s wardrobe is now significantly larger…
Bistro Escoffier: Je t’adore! (A Review)
This past Saturday night, Mark and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. We’ve been longing to try something new (although we love our tried-and-true Mobile favorites), so when I first read about Bistro Escoffier in January, I knew it was next on our list. A little background for you: the only true French meal I’ve…

Founded in 2009, Back Forty now boasts a reputation for being one of Alabama’s oldest and most successful manufacturing breweries. After transitioning from contract-brewing their two original selections to opening…
Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha Green Tea Review
Recently I was contacted by a representative at Kiss Me Organics to see if I would be interested in reviewing their Organic Matcha. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of traditional green tea; I find it a bit bitter and always have to add a lot of sweetener to it. Nevertheless, I’ve heard…
#LetLoose2014 for National Stress Awareness Month
I’ve mentioned before that April is one of my favorite months of the year, but did you know that it’s also National Stress Awareness Month? We all lead busy, often-stressful lives, which is why I’m taking part in Vegas.com’s #LetLoose2014 event. I’ve been to Las Vegas twice (for my honeymoon in 2008 and on vacation…
What I Ate Wednesday: Getting Some Veggie Love
Guys, I’ve seriously been slacking. Apart from my awesome whole food/all-natural prenatal vitamins, poor Baby M is getting very little veggie-based nutrition these days. I just can’t help it; carbs (and Cadbury eggs) are delicious! This week, however, I’m aiming to change that. Monday night included a vegetable—ok, fungus—based entrée, and I rounded out the…
Meal Plan Monday 04.21.14
In an effort to prove that I actually do cook (well, that Mark cooks while I “supervise”), I thought I’d start sharing some of our meal plans. This probably won’t be a weekly thing—but since we spent half our life savings a good bit of money at the grocery this past Saturday (we hadn’t been…
