Happy reading! Great Debate: Obstacle Races – Cool, but Are They Safe? Obstacle races are more popular than ever, but with the [...]

On sleeping arrangements What a difference 20 weeks makes! Today, I’m 34 weeks pregnant and feelin’ pretty good. It’s amazing to me that I will be in charge of a baby in six weeks or so (when did I become an adult?!). Baby is now 4.75 pounds and 18 inches long. The central nervous [...]
We bought a house with a backyard, and all he wants to do is stare out the front window. What gives? All I know is that it makes me feel a lot better about living in a backyard-less apartment for the last five years. Rise and shine. Slowly. Of all my breakfast recipes, I [...]
After six years of owning the dogs, I finally did this: It’s raining kibble. Hallelujah! It’s raining kibble. Amen. I felt like I was feeding chickens on the farm. Here, chickie… chickie. My breakfast was served in a bowl, not on the floor. Rice Chex (new random obsession) Vanilla Greek yogurt Strawberries Cashews [...]
On cloth v. disposable diapers My, what a difference a month – and six pounds – makes! Here’s what BabyHTP is up to this week: “By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a [...]
First things first – IT DOES EXIST. Gluten- and dairy-free pizza, that is. Yes, I realize that gluten- and dairy-free pizza is pretty much the antithesis of ‘real’ pizza, but every time the Husband and I go grocery shopping, we stare forlornly at the frozen pizza case and wish there was a gluten- and dairy-free [...]
On having a panic-free pregnancy. Only 9 weeks to go until my due date. I’m in single digits now! So very excited. What once seemed so very far away now seems extremely close. June 13 is going to be here before we know it… And I’m starting to really understand that baby could come even [...]

(Side note: This is not to be confused with the Healthy Tipping Point book, which is coming out on [...]
Did you read that as triscuit? (Source) We’re not talking about the crackers… we’re talking about tri-suits. As in the suit you wear to do a triathlon in. A trisuit! ‘Tis race season. A bunch of my Charlotte friends are gearing up for the city’s big half marathon, and very soon, all of Charlotte’s spring [...]
Crazy morning. I find it endlessly ironic that the same week that I’m closing on my first home, I’m helping DadHTP look for a rental house. I’m up to my eyes and ears in real estate! The Charlotte rental market is SUPER tight. When I got a call this morning that a listing was available, [...]
Ah, hello. Happy Monday. How’s it going for you? It’s been crazy and busy in my world but really good, too. And truthfully, that is all I can ask for on a Monday! Today is a clinic work day, but we had a break for lunch. It’s always nice to run home for lunch! [...]
On purposefully changing your perspective. New to this series? Please check out The Naked Face Project website and my introduction to TNFP to get a complete understanding of the intention behind the Project. Another week of being happily Naked Faced. I've settled into the routine with my new habits and, truthfully, the past week was [...]
Goodbye, beach. Hello, home. Home may not have sun and surf and sand, but it’s home nevertheless! I was planning – I swear! – to squeeze in a gym trip after our flight arrived, but my dreams quickly got squashed when we immediately confronted with a ton of clinic-related calls to return and fires [...]
One of the strangest aspects of pregnancy has been how much my body has changed but how little I notice the different on a day-to-day basis. I guess the growth happens so slowly that I haven’t really noticed it… until I look at the belly shots, of course. Whoa, momma! Week 25, and I [...]
