First things first: snack of the day. Brown rice cakes and hummus. Oh man. So good. So while I’m munching on that, I thought it was definitely time to give you all an update on my Put Down the Phone Challenge. Back in August, I wrote about my desire to check my phone less [...]

Just poppin’ in on a Sunday to say hello and share some thoughts from my weekend! The theme of this weekend has been “getting ready.†Countdown to Little One is ON. When I found out I was pregnant in the spring, I thought forward to autumn and the holiday season and felt like it was [...]

Ingredients (for two servings): [...]
