The quest for healthy post-partum eats continues!  I don’t know how we’ve managed to swing it, but I swear that we’ve all been eating better in the two weeks since Claire was born than in the months before.  Too bad I can’t say the same for sleep…  One battle at a time, right? Over the [...]

Hi, friends!  How are you?  Well, I’m having my first painfully sleepy day.  I am not really complaining because, well, I could’ve been painfully sleepy this whole time!  But Claire is proving to be a pretty great newborn sleeper, capable of a few long stretches at night.  We’re still working to sort out some of [...]

I bet you were hoping for a baby photo. So was I!  Hah.  Will you be satisfied with a breakfast photo?   Yeah… Me neither. Regardless, we are having a fabulous Friday over here. I love how quiet the day after Thanksgiving is!  We’ve been lounging around, eating our weight in Rice Krispy Treats, and [...]

It’s the biggest foodie day of the year, but this is the only thing that I’ve made… My friend Brandi is going through an intense Rice Krispy Treat obsession, and her constant texts about the gooey treats finally got to me.  I had so much fun making (and eating) these!  The secret to amazing RKTs [...]

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week and have a fabulous weekend planned.  I had an amazing week – after too many weeks packed with travel or projects or sickness, the last five days were very calm and fun.  I got a few assignments done, but I tried to focus more on spending [...]

I may be done with workouts for this pregnancy… First of all, the strap on my goggles broke!  I was super sad because I’ve had these goggles for five years or so – I’ve worn them for every single triathlon that I’ve ever done. I think I can just buy a replacement strap – but [...]

Good question!  Here’s a round-up of my favorite recipes and recipes that I’m dying to try.  Half of the time, these vegetarian crockpot recipes COULD be made in the oven or stovetop (just like all meat-based crockpot recipes, I guess!), but I love the crockpot because 1) it’s a set-it-and-forget-it kind of the thing and [...]

While I usually document Day in the Life posts on weekdays, I thought it would be fun to show a lazy Sunday… I know I won’t have the luxury of lazy Sundays for a while very soon!  It’s funny – when I was about to pop with Henry, Kristien and I went nuts doing as [...]

This made me LOL because it is so very, very true. I *love* this simple idea for holiday shopping for kids.  It’s called WANT, NEED, READ, WEAR and it’s designed to stop the crush of presents under the tree (both from parents and well-meaning relatives like).  It’s a good way to organize your personal wish [...]

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 [...]

The other night, I was in bed and struggling to sleep (damn you, pregnancy insomnia!), when I thought of this half-ass cookie recipe.  I call it a half-ass recipe because there is no actual baking involved.  The result is anything but half-ass – it’s amazing!  This would be a perfect small gift for the holidays [...]

Good morning! Homemade pumpkin yogurt – so easy.  Just combine equal parts vanilla Greek yogurt and pureed pumpkin with a little DIY Pumpkin Spice. Tada!  Instant pumpkin yogurt.  I got my hair cut yesterday… Two cuts in like three months, after not getting it cut at all for nine months.  I feel so pulled together, [...]
