Memorial Day

I don’t know how this always happens to me, but somehow I’ve ended up sick on a holiday weekend. Again. This time it’s a stomach bug and I’m just hoping Hailey and David don’t pick it up. I’ve tweete...

WAIW: The Backwards Dinner

When I was growing up, every now and then my mom would declare it a backwards dinner kind of night. We smiled as the aroma of homemade chocolate chips cookies filled the house. It was a fun treat tha...

Vegetable Quinoa Biscuits for Baby

Most of what Hailey has been eating lately is simple, whole foods. Broccoli and chicken. Peas and cheese. Avocado and black beans. That’s what her meals look like at home, though I do have a few prod...

A Packed Weekend in Savannah

I don’t know about you, but nothing makes me ready to hop back on the health train than a weekend of being off of it. Well, it wasn’t totally unhealthy, but there was ice cream. Delicious cookies and...

Stayin’ So Fresh and So Clean Clean in the Summer Heat

I can see summer peaking at me from around the corner. Though I’m excited about the farmers markets, berries and fresh tomatoes beginning to grow on my patio tomato plant, I know this mean humidity, ...

Hailey at 8 Months Old

8 months old! I feel like this is the point where I should be getting teary about my baby being 2/3 of a year old, but you know what? I’m just happy. I’m enjoying every age and stage as it comes. Ins...

WIAW: Eating Paleo

I know, I know. Why do I feel the need to always be doing some sort of food challenge, right?? I just find it interesting to try and see why people become so loyal to a way of eating and wonder how I...

Coconut Oil for Health & Skin?

Have you heard of coconut oil? Probably. I’ve heard of it for a long time, too. Heck, I even bought some, but it’s been sitting in my pantry for a couple months now. Perhaps you’ve heard of coconut o...

A Visit from the Mother’s Day Fairy

Good morning! It’s thundering here, which is making Koda a bit jumpy, but there’s nothing like a good gullywasher to get rid off all the pollen! Finally, my eyes aren’t itching my face off (because t...

A Night at Discovery Place

Last night the time finally came to hire our first nighttime babysitter. Someone that would have to give Hailey a bottle and tell her good night. Although it was difficult to leave (and I wrote down ...

How do you say thank you?

Yesterday I was dragging. I’m not sure if it was the rainy weather or allergies keeping me down, but I could have easily curled up in bed all day reading Steve Jobs biography. (Yes, I’ve been interes...

WIAW: Homemade Chick-fil-A

Homemade Chick-fil-A? Yes, you heard that right. But first came breakfast. Something about eggs in warmer weather make me happy. I know most people turn to smoothies, but I love fresh eggs. Yesterday...

Hailey FAQ

I receive emails every so often with Hailey questions, so after a few repeats, I find myself wanting to post about it. I love talking about what Hailey is up to because it helps me remember. If I did...

Cinco de Derby Success

I live for weekends like this. After all my worry, our Cinco de Derby party was a smashing success! Smashing? I either turned British or am referring to our outdoor umbrella breaking in half and ligh...

Fiesta Failure? I hope not!

Yesterday Hailey and I attended a party sponsored given by Jenn of Mommy B Knows Best. The party, sponsored by Frush, was a great way to get some ladies together, most of whom I’d never met. It was s...

Hailey’s Eating Habits at 7 Months Old

This is about Hailey’s eating habits, but first, TOOT TOOT. Yes, that’s me tooting my own horn. For our anniversary (thank you for the happy anniversary wishes, too, by the way!), I whipped up David’...

WIAW: Detail Overload

After coming home from Hilton Head I went to the grocery list-less. It resulted in a few spontaneous purchases and an overload of produce, so yesterday I was determined to try and eat up a bunch of i...

Ah, summer time. Ok, I guess it isn’t quite summer yet, though the high 80 and 90 (!!!) degree temperatures this week sure have me fooled. There are multiple things I could list off that I love about...

Mornin’! All the comments you left yesterday were seriously so helpful. I read through them all, and while I agree that every baby is different, it really helped me to get a sense of what everyone el...

Confusion in Baby Feeding & Weaning

Parenthood is a funny thing, isn’t it? One minute you’re bopping along thinking I got this! Then the next minute, someone mentions something that never crossed your mind and you’re questioning everyt...
