Let’s talk about summer today. Today I got my first mosquito bite of the summer since we’re in Dallas and that’s what happens in Dallas in the summer. I have been sweating no...
So I admit it: I haven’t liked salads really until recently, and I’d be lying if I said the ‘recently’ part of that statement wasn’t due to losing some of the baby weigh...
Here’s the deal y’all: we’re in Texas. T to the E to the X to the A to the S. And we drove here with our 2 1/2 month old. Crazy? Probably. It’s only something I worried...
It’s official – I am the mommy of an 11-week-old full-fledged baby. I can hardly believe it! And like I said last week, I find myself loving mommyhood more and more every day. We have fin...
Last Friday I had a lifelong dream come true: ice cream. Delivered. Right to my doorstep. At 10am. I’m living the life, y’all. You don’t even know! As part of the Food...
Well here we are at almost 11 weeks postpartum and I feel like I’m just now starting to get in the swing of things in regards to a fitness routine. I am hoping that it just continues to get eas...
OK so I feel like I should preface this with a heaping cup of honesty: these totally did not turn out how I meant for them to. It’s true, I’ve posted a kitchen fail on here and am ...
I don’t think I’ve ever told y’all this: I have a crazy undying love called kalamata olives. It’s basically out of control, and I love it. With that in mind, I now dedicate th...
Did you guys know that it’s summertime? And that things like grilling are sooooooo in right now? Grilling is the little black dress of summer. To me, though, grilling is so much more tha...
I don’t know if y’all remember back when I was in healthy living blogger mode (over a year and a half ago) but I ate oatmeal almost every day. This in and of itself is not a bad thingR...
This week has flown by SO fast and I can’t believe that it’s been a full 10 weeks since Weston was born. It’s crazy! He’s such a little man now! He’s pretty much wearing...
First of all, I have to say that I LOVE this post from Fitnessista and the way that she sees her body and has been treating it since birth. It’s super inspiring to see women who are moms and ar...
Question. Who here is a little freaked out when people talk about savory oatmeal? I don’t see it all that often around the blogosphere anymore these days, but once upon a time there were tons o...
When I got pregnant I was so excited for many many reasons, one being the fact that I was SURELY going to be lounging at home all day during maternity leave, cuddling and snuggling a perfect little b...
This is probably the most dangerous thing I’ve made in a loooooooooong time. See, the reason I never make bread is because it’s always so involved. It actually requires work. And I kind o...
For someone who doesn’t even like popcorn that much this little bowl of wonder sure has changed my tone! Super simple and using ingredients you probably already have – check it out!
Remember that one time when I made a coffee cake in a jar for one person and told you that it was a pain? Well, I have a new little something for one and it’s SOOOOOOO easy. Get ready to have y...
OHEMGEE. I really have no words to describe these, unless “go make them immediately and devour them all ASAP” counts as a way to describe them. Seriously, I’ve been making these eve...
Anything that starts off with a photo of garlic and red pepper flakes frying…well, let’s just say there’s no chance it could be bad. Let’s be honest – garlic is t...
As you guys know, this is my first Mother’s Day and I am so blessed. Not only do I have a sweet little boy with the love of my life: But I have the best mother in the ENTIRE world! The woman wh...
It’s cold here. Cloudy. Probably going to rain a little later on. And you know what that means? Movie night! I’ve never been the biggest popcorn fan, although Nate LOVES it, so I...
This little boy steals my heart about 50 times a day: He’s officially over 2 months old now, and/or 9 weeks, and was quite the little trooper at his doctor’s appointment earlier this week...
Is anyone else still holding on to apple season for dear life? I mean really, apples tend to be more of a fall thing but I just can’t get enough of them right now. And when I say that I think i...
So wow. First of all let me just say that I am SORE and so completely happy with it! I have always been one of those people who enjoys being sore to some degree. Not in an unhealthy way, I think it...
OK. So. We’ve discussed for almost 3 years now how my husband is the world’s biggest cookie monster when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. Thing is I like chocolate chip cookies and all...
I have a confession: I LOVE POPSICLES. But only the red kind because red flavor is always the best. Who’s with me on this?! I mean think about it: gummy bears, Sour Patch Kids, sorbet, c...
This past weekend I did something I haven’t done in almost 2 months – I put on some big girl clothes and hung out with a bunch of women my age by myself. WHOA now. Get excited! Ser...
Let’s talk farro. It’s only my favorite grain ever: chewier than rice, heartier than quinoa, and perfect with any and every flavor you can possibly imagine. If it weren’t so expensi...
So. Last night at the Blend Retreat I had a glass of wine since I knew that Nate would be feeding Wes and there would be plenty of time for the alcohol to cycle out of my milk before the next feeding...
