Well, well, well. I made an epic scheduling error yesterday.  I thought I was doing a presentation at Anderson University in South Carolina.  After driving 2.5 hours, I realized that the event is actually tonight.  Whoops.   Luckily, DadHTP had come with me so I wasn’t all alone on the long (and frustrating) drive back.  [...]

When I was pregnant, I really did not think I would buy a jogging stroller.  I didn’t check ‘em out at the store; I didn’t compare pricing; I didn’t talk to my running mom friends for feedback.  The idea of a jogging stroller was not very appealing to me because running has always been me [...]

Christine wrote, “I just started really getting into running last year. I'm currently in week four of training for my first half-marathon (and first race ever). I've been getting pretty discouraged when I have to take walking breaks during my runs, especially since one of the friends I'm doing the race with is a powerhouse [...]

As an owner of not one, not two, not three, but four small businesses (blogs, speaking engagements, the clinic, Vitamins for Vegetarians…whew), I absolutely love it when people take an idea and run with it.  That’s why I want to tell you about my friend, Katie Levans of Sweet Tater Blog, and her genius idea [...]

Getting too big to hold like this! I can’t believe Henry is seven months old.  Here are the comparison pictures!         Time flies, babies grow, hairstyles change.   I’m writing this from my hotel room in New Orleans, so I’m going to make this update a ‘brain dump’ kind of post.  Plus, [...]

I’ve been asked by quite a few people to do a post on this topic, so here it is! You know, for something that I’ve done three to six times a day for nearly my entire time, feeding my baby solids felt… a little overwhelming.  What do I feed him?  And how?  And when?  But [...]

And just like that, in a flash, the holidays are over.  Back to normal. And by ‘normal,’ I mean… well, you know. Do you have an established morning routine?  I was thinking this morning how much I love our current little routine.  Of course, it seems to change every other month as Henry grows, but [...]

Last night, I unplugged and slipped into a bubble bath.  Complete with many running magazines to flip through and enjoy (and get soaking wet). If you look closely, you can see Henry gnaw marks on the edge of one magazine… Eek.   And on the last morning of 2012, we took Henry to the doctor [...]

Hello, HTP readers. My name is Nina, and like many of you, I work full time in a demanding career. I get caught up in being spread so thin that I forget there are others out there who have it much worse. My stressful work week ends every Friday, but so many people carry their [...]

I’m pretty sure blogging about baby sleep is akin to discussing politics or religion, but I’ll give it a shot. I assume sleep-deprived parents will be blearily reading this post, so here’s a short summary of what we did:   Waited until he was old enough to begin training per our pediatrician's recommendation (he nap-trained [...]

Looks delicious, tastes disgusting. I tried to create my own pancakes with oatmeal and gluten-free flour, and something went horribly, horribly wrong.  Ah well.  That’s what peanut butter sandwiches are for, right?  At least the fried cranberry-apple topping was delicious. Yum.   Every morning, I end up dedicating about an hour to everyone’s breakfast.  First [...]

My appetite is off. the. charts.  I don’t know if it’s running, breastfeeding, or what, but maaaan.  Fuel me up.  This is lunch numero dos. A Trader Joe’s microwavable curry over greens <--- lazy person’s lunch.   We’re having a fun day.  We drove the Husband to work (which sounds like a chore, but it’s [...]

The problem with crawling… My laptop survived.  My sanity, however, is on life support.     How’s your Monday back going?  Mine is going well – lots and lots to do, but the Husband is home today, which is nice.  It meant that I got to go the pool with DadHTP for a swim.  We [...]
