Lick the breakfast bowl clean! Every single nook and cranny.  (His nose does not normally bend like that!)   I’ve been up since 5:30 – why is it that you can never sleep when you really want to? But it’s not entirely a bad thing because my sleeplessness meant that James and I got to [...]

Thank goodness for James.  If it wasn’t for his guilt-inducing puppy eyes, I might have never peeled myself away from my desk during my lunch break for a nice, long walk. 2.0 miles, done and done. Thanks, buddy!   Speaking of puppy eyes… Maggie has been workin’ it lately.  You see, last time I took [...]

Check out  So You Wanna Do a Triathlon: Swimming, So You Wanna Do a Triathlon: Cycling, So You Wanna Do a Triathlon: Running, and So You Wanna Do a Triathlon: Transitions I’ve really enjoyed writing this post series.  It has kind of made me feel like I’m currently gearing up for a triathlon.  Hah.  This [...]

There was a point that my desk at the clinic looked like a tornado had swept through. However, it is now decidingly more organized, which means the weekend is almost here!   Per Friday tradition, here is a list of interesting articles that I enjoyed reading this week on the Interwebs.  There’s only a few [...]

I am not really a person who intentionally holds onto a lot of stuff.  I don’t feel the need to keep every free shirt or save every Christmas card. But somehow, we accumulate so much stuff.  I don’t even know where it comes from!  I used to struggle with decluttering because I would get easily [...]

I want to begin this post by saying thank you for all the discussion, feedback, and interest in The Naked Face Project. One thing I really want to clarify is that I’m not trying to make larger generalizations or buy into stereotypes about how other women (and men) view or should view their own Beauty [...]

Baby continues to grow, and the bump continues to change shape.  I was so round a few weeks ago, now I feel pointer.  I’m carrying all in front, right around my belly button, which is getting flatter and flatter and feels so strange now!   There’s all sorts of Old Wives Tales about how you [...]

Would you rather have wheels for legs or wings for arms? Would you rather eat really delicious, perfect pizza every night for dinner or never, ever get to eat pizza again? Would you rather be forced to high-five every stranger you talk to or end every phone call with “Ciao, bella!” for the rest of [...]

Last season at Girls on the Run, I sat cross-legged in front of 15 little girls and held up an advertisement for women’s shaving cream.  The ad showed the model’s disembodied legs up in the air, smooth and shiny.  “What do you think this ad is trying to say?” I asked.  The girls carefully studied [...]

Around 4 AM, I was woken up by the baby – the first time this has happened!  And then she/he proceeded to thump me 12 times in a row, even kicking back when I poked the foot with my finger.  We went from a maximum of 4 thumps in a row to 12, right in [...]

One of my really good friends is also pregnant with her first child, and this weekend, she called me to rant about the insensitive things that people say to you when you’re pregnant.  Her rant was about how a family member told her that she was going to gain all this extra weight, her breasts [...]

Cannot get enough of Mexican-inspired eats lately! I love making homemade nachos.  Especially with blue corn chips, which are so much tastier (and prettier!) than the regular ones.   All under the broiler:   Blue corn chips Cheddar cheese Refried beans Corn salsa Red salsa Funny story about blue corn chips:  The only way we [...]
