Have you had mammoth (AKA bulletproof) coffee yet? OMG. You must. Okay – I know this is going to sound weird. But you have to trust me – it’s a combination of butter, coconut oil, and coffee, and it’s truly one of the most delicious ways I’ve ever had coffee. It’s rich without being sweet, [...]

This post is sponsored by Silk Soymilk. At the start of spring, I always say, "Spring is my favorite season!" And then summer rolls around, I get excited for the heat, and I find myself blogging that "I love summer most of all!" But then I get over the 90-degree temps and, by the time [...]
It looks like I can continue wogging for at least a little bit longer! Side note… Wogging = Waddling jogging. Because that’s more and more what running looks like these days. I am no longer graceful in anything that I do, but ESPECIALLY not running. I quit pregnant running with Henry weeks and weeks ago [...]
How does this happen? Really. How?! That’s broccoli, by the way. File that one under “Another Reason Maggie is Warming Up to Henry.†I thought I’d share a little home DIY project with you all! Perhaps you remember this project, in which we spray-painted our dining room chandelier from tacky-awesome 1990s gold to a [...]
Success! After trying my hand at DIY wall art for the bathroom (and failing), you think I’d be scared to try again… but I found this post on New Domestic that described a super easy way to make modern art. I figured I would give it another shot. If you can put painter’s tape [...]
Still reeling from the weekend! Normally, weekends are for relaxation, but Saturday was super stressful because… we went under contract on a house and will close on July 22! And it only took three rounds of negotiations and endless number crunching. Heh. Closing on a house is a very interesting process indeed. We have [...]
PUMPKIN SEASON. Yes, I stereotypically love pumpkins and am not ashamed to admit it. Call me basic, call me mainstream – whatever. BRING ON THE PUMPKIN. Seriously. Bring it on. I had my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season this weekend and it was better than ever (thanks to the addition of actual [...]
All of the sudden, fall swept its way into Charlotte. I’m sure we will have a few more 95+ degree days, but this weekend – oh, the weather was blissful. It was so wonderful to be outside. I got outside for a 3 miles stroller run. I haven’t pushed a stroller on a jog in [...]
Check out our new dining room light. Fun, huh? It’s actually an IKEA light – less than $100. I originally envisioned this light in our bedroom (here’s our bedroom makeover). But I ultimately decided to keep the fan in there and decided to put this pretty chandelier in our purple dining room instead! We [...]
Diapers – they aren’t just for catching baby’s pee and poop! Since becoming a mom, I’ve realized how incredibly useful and versatile diapers are for everyday life. Here are my 16 favorite ways to use diapers – beyond wrapping them around my kiddos’ butts. To protect apples and bananas from bruising in my purse. [...]
A few weeks ago, I went through a serious closet purge and donated almost all of my remaining race cotton shirts. I was discussing the situation with a few other racing friends via text, and one suggested that I turn the leftovers into reusable shopping bags as shown in this NO SEW tutorial on Mommypotamus. [...]
This post is sponsored by Celestial Seasonings. There is so much awesomeness packed into this post that I don’t know where to start. Obviously, tea-infused cupcakes would be a good place, but let’s talk about this cupcake stand for just a moment. Would you believe that this stand is actually a charger, two upside-down plates, [...]
I’m at this weird point in my life where I am simultaneously in countdown mode while begging time to move slower. I remember this happening towards the end of my pregnancy with Henry, too – you’re looking forward to meeting your baby but the upcoming changes make you feel so anxious. I’m a tad [...]
I feel sort of funny posting this recipe because we’ve had a few amazing days of warm weather! I actually wore a short-sleeved shirt and sandals to the park yesterday – glorious. You see, I love everything about winter except the cold temps. Hah. Speaking of being chilly, Maggie is back to wearing her housecoat [...]
