Best Movie Trailer Songs for Runners: I love to run to pop music, but sometimes, working out to uber-dramatic movie trailer music is even better. You get to pretend to dodge and dart away...
I felt like a walking zombie this morning. We have accomplished absolutely nothing today. The temperature is hovering at 90 degrees, the heat is overwhelming, and both the Husband and I feel in...
Have you ever heard of a dadchelor party? It’s basically like a bachelor party, but for first-time dads. Complete with bar crawl and acts of public humiliation. Tonight was the Husb...
Make way for Anne P’s Peanut Butter Bars! The Husband has been searching high and low for a gluten-free, diary-free, non-disgusting bar that is relatively low in sugar and higher in protein. He...
Morning. I would say GOOD morning but I feel all sorts of yucky today. And by yucky, I mean ‘extraordinary pregnant.’ Hah. Flower pictures to cheer me up, of course! I still can’t ...
Look who I found! Why, that’s my (former) neighbor, Tonya! You may remember her – last spring, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (Lost and Found in the Garden). People were...
Morning. French toast, anyone? I’m loving the concept of grilling sunflower seeds into the French toast. I just sprinkle them on the egg side when the bread is on the griddle and carefull...
When I was in high school, I had an obsession with penguins. I loved penguins. One year, at Christmas, everyone bought me penguin stuff. Penguin blankets, penguin light switch plate...
Pregnancy: My expectations v. my reality Today is a very big day, indeed! Today marks 37 weeks of pregnancy. That means that I’m officially ‘term’ (although I’m not due until 40 weeks), ...
Sometimes, all you want is cereal. I’m loving Rice Chex lately. It’s inexpensive, available at every grocery store I walk into (not just the fancy ones), is gluten-free, has a pretty shor...
Know the feeling? Sometimes, you really do just have to shove your booty out of the chair or off the couch and get out the door. James and I ended up going for a post-work 30-minute walk – I wa...
Aw. This lunch didn’t turn out quite as I hoped, but it was still pretty tasty. I was aiming for gooey casserole but ended up with crumbly casserole. In the mix: brown rice, ricotta cheese, yel...
Our breakfast ‘drink tray’ makes me laugh. This is the minimum amount of drinks that will be on the drink tray any given morning (water and tea, plus an extra cup of brewed tea – can’t let it s...
This is probably not an appropriate book to bring to the midwives’ office. This is. I’m trying to re-read all my Bradley Method books prior to d-day (delivery day, of course). Yes, I hav...
Toes are almost out of sight. Great swim this morning! DadHTP and I headed to the pool bright and early and did 0.5-mile. We’ve figured out that we have to work around the water aerobics ...
Happy Moan-day. I could’ve slept better, so I made it up to myself with this delicious breakfast. Looks fancy-pants, but it’s really just plain old French toast with banana, sunflower seeds, an...
Sunday showers… Bring May flowers! Another busy day – I swear, my weekend hasn’t been this packed in months. My friend Heather had her baby shower, and it was very fun. I’m one of those (...
I’m a serious commitmentphobe. When it comes to rugs, that is. Normally, I’m pretty good at deciding what I want, whether it’s in my price range, and taking out my wallet. True story:...
Remember when I said that we were going to try to squeeze in as many date nights as possible prior to baby’s arrival? Yeah. I said that… last night. And we’re back out tonight. Toni...
New obsession: lentils + cheese sammie. The pre-cooked lentils are my new favorite Trader Joe’s item (here’s a list of all my favorite Trader Joes goodies). Expect me to overdose on lentils in ...
Long walk with James: Check. Delicious breakfast: Check. You know how a person can say one thing one time and it sticks in your mind forever? A few years back, my mom asked me why I kept ...
Look at us – out on a school night! Uptown Charlotte (yes, we call downtown ‘Uptown’ – not sure why) has a new restaurant – it’s called 5 Church. The restaurant had its grand opening tonight, a...
This awesome list of advice for college graduates (Congrats, New Grads! By the Way, You Don’t Know Anything) had me simultaneously laughing hysterically and nodding my head – yes, yes, yes! – non-sto...
I am going to take some of my own advice about accountability and create a star chart – but just for James. I realized last night that I’ve been seriously slacking on taking him for long walks ...
Shannon asked: “Do you have any quick tips to help with accountability and working out at home? I have great intentions to get healthier. I’ve cleaned up my eating habits and am taking my vitam...
The nursery tour! I must have pregnancy brain because yesterday, I spent the entire day telling people I was three weeks from my due date. 40 weeks minus 36 weeks is 4 weeks, not 3. ...
What are you reading right now? I’m reading Leading at the Edge (one of the contributors, Jillian, is a blog reader and thought I might like it). Plot summary from Amazon: “Stranded in th...
I thought Thursday was my last day workin’ at the clinic, but it turns out that I got called in today to cover the shift. Guess I just can’t stay away from the old desk. It was a lo...
I’ve gotten to the point in my pregnancy (three weeks to go!) that I’m doing anything and everything to get my mind off the waiting-for-baby game. Waiting sucks. My favorite way to pass t...
Good morning! I am so quiet this morning because I am attempting an early(ish) swim workout with DadHTP. I only have energy for one thing – i.e. not to drown in the pool because I fall back asl...
