4 Months Post and Summer Recap.
Holy cow does time fly. Seriously! My baby is now four months and I’m staring at the unforgiving face of another school year. Why is it we wait the entire winter for summer, and then is gone in the blink of an eye? Not cool, time. Not cool. If your summer has been anything like…

Tasty Tuesday: Rich and Fudgey Paleo Brownies
I don’t know about you, but I love a good brownie. Rich, fudgey, chocolatey goodness often found in a box and full of chemicals and preservatives. I’ve made my fare share of boxed brownies, and I will freely admit they’re delicious. But I’d rather eat something that doesn’t have a shelf life longer than I…

Go with the Flow
If there’s one thing motherhood’s taught me is that I can control nothing. Absolutely nothing. As a control freak by nature, this does not sit well with me. Oh, I’ve adapted my actions and reactions to try and embrace the laissez-faire attitude, but it goes against my nature and I have to work at it.…

Crock-pot Rotisserie Chicken
This is by far the easiest recipe ever. I don’t even know if it qualifies as a recipe. It’s just a chop, dump, and turn-on-the-pot kind of recipe. The hardest part is remembering to take the chicken out to thaw the night before. Really. The crock-pot is one of my favorite things. Could there be…

6 Weeks Post: Let’s Do This!
6 weeks, baby! Finally got to this point! Although in truth, I feel like the time flew by in a blur; funny how having a newborn makes time both slow down and speed up simultaneously. This will be my last weekly update. I will still be providing updates each month and posting regularly, but now…

5 Weeks Post: Ups and Downs
It’s amazing the range of highs and lows a person can go through in one week’s time. But that’s life isn’t it? Postpartum is a journey just like every other aspect of our lives, and that journey comes with plenty of struggles. If you read my last post, you got an uncensored view of some…

Truth: Postpartum Kinda Sucks
Warning: This is a frustrated rant from a frustrated momma. If you’ve been following this blog, perhaps you’ve been a little disconcerted by the positive tone. (At least I’ve tried to keep it positive.) The whole, “Keep going! You can do it! Don’t stop believing – yada, yada!” chirps like an annoying friend who keeps…

4 Weeks Post: Getting Back to Me
As I mentioned in my last post, I started running. It’s been great. Not because I always feel great, but because it allows me to reconnect with the part of me that doesn’t have baby poo on her face (true story) or playdough under her finger nails. Some of my runs this past week have…

Banana Chocolate Shake
In my effort to encourage healthy living, I decided to add a feature to this blog. Here is the first Tasty Tuesday recipe! Every Tuesday, (or the Tuesdays I can), I plan to share a favorite recipe with you: easy dinners, guilt-free treats, kid friendly meals, etc. I enjoy cooking, but I REALLY enjoy eating,…
