I’m officially 2/3 of the way through this pregnancy! You guys were right; things really did get better in the second trimester. After a fairly typical, rocky first trimester, I was pretty skep...
See these two fur balls? They’re my two-year olds. I know, I KNOW. Dogs aren’t babies. It’s an insult to canines everywhere to think otherwise. But these two crazy pups, until now, ...

Source 1. “Will you be rehoming your dogs?” This is the one of the most ridiculous questions I have yet to hear. Maybe this isn’t true for everyone, but our dogs are part of our ...

Dear Baby Boy, Little Man, thanks for showing us your goods during the ultrasound, but I should tell you right now that flashing people like that is pretty frowned upon once you exit this private lit...
BABY B IS A… BOY!! I can’t believe how much we love him already.
For every something that you like which other people don’t, there is something that they like which you don’t. Am I right? Here is my list of things that, when I disclose I don’t ...
Have you ever been part of a conversation where other people are completely ripping on something or someone that you actually kind of like? You either sheepishly hang your head and pretend like you ...
My dietitian friend and I are constantly sending each other new recipes to try. This one was such a winner, and so unique, that I wanted to quickly share it with you. I followed the recipe to a R...

So now that y’all know that we will be learning our baby’s sex as soon as possible, I thought it would be fun to examine some old wives’ tales about predicting the outcome. This is...
One of the many surprises about pregnancy thus far is the realization of how little I care about this baby’s gender. My whole life, I’ve wanted a little girl and would have no shame in s...
I bet you’d call me a liar if I told you my mom turns 61 today. It’s true. Among the many things I could have inherited from my mom, I secretly hope that one of them is her propensity to...
December 8, 2011 (5 weeks, 1 day): Through my own subconscious act of genius, I have a pre-existing appointment with my doctor today. All the books warn that most doctors won’t see you until you are...

A lot of readers have written to ask me for a status update on my weight. Most followed my weight loss journey on my old blog (RIP), and a few are aware that I gained some weight back after I stoppe...
Lately, I’ve been doing something I never, ever do: watching daytime television. I haven’t been feeling great, it’s rainy outside, and well, TV has become my new guilty pleasure. O...
Y’all know that I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, right? I have spent far too many hours overexposing myself on the social network; I report on recipes I’ve tried, check int...
Happy Holidays! Inspired by my friend Andrea, I thought I’d do a quick look back at my 2011 and its many highlights. In February, my family celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday with a surpr...
It seems that every letter I read to a person’s former self, it’s usually addressed to their 16 or maybe 18-year-old self. I don’t know about you, but I could have used some tips an...
