Hi everyone! I’m slowly but surely getting my act together and getting closer to being able to get back into my blogging routine. I so appreciate your patience! In the meantime, I’m happy...

A plugged duct or a sore spot on your breast may be the first sign that you are trying to do too much. You would be well-advised to heed this warning and get lots of extra rest for a few days after y...
I’m not purposely slacking on my blog. I have every intention of posting more often, but life is getting in the way. Making finding the time particularly hard is Luke’s digestive issues. ...
Welcome to the in-law edition of How Dinner Went Down. My in-laws, otherwise known as Nana and Poppy, are visiting. This always makes dinner a little bit different than usual as I try to accommodat...

When different holidays roll around, do you find yourself dreaming of all the cute projects and baking treats you’re going to complete and then realize there’s no way in heck you have tim...
One of my favorite recipes from the cookbook Vegan Yum Yum is the creamy tomato barley risotto. That recipe opened a whole new world for me of risotto-like dishes cooked with barely. The beauty of t...
Oh, what a week. If you read my 10K training update post, you know I’ve felt like I’m running on fumes lately. At the end of last week, Tim was convinced it was diet related and I neede...
Three weeks ago, I started my training for a 10K race I signed up for in May. The first week, I hit the ground running, literally, and completed each day of training exactly as the plan specified. A...
Since adding a second child to our family, I have learned to not necessarily work harder, but work smarter. Meghan’s been asking for French toast for breakfast often, and as much as I would lo...
First, let me apologize for no new recipe posts popping up last week. It was a doozy of a week made much harder with Luke’s growth spurt and crazy short naps. He is getting back on track with...
It’s that time of year again. Every Wednesday evening from now until December, I’ll hear my doorbell ring and find a box of locally grown, organic vegetables and/or fruit waiting for me....
I should have learned by now never to promise a post on a certain day. I said that I would give you this update yesterday, but then Luke started a growth spurt. When baby isn’t napping well a...
I typed out the dates in the title and had to pause for a moment. Is it really the middle of March?! When did that happen? Wow. My little man was three months old yesterday (update coming tomorro...
I had a post for a healthy Shamrock Shake planned for today, but after seeing similar recipes on three different blogs this week, I decided to go in a different direction. Today’s my birthday. ...
Can you feel that? The light breeze. The sunlight on your face. I don’t know what the weather is like where you are at, but here in southwest Ohio, spring is in the air. It might not last. ...
This year for Lent, I gave up sugar. Sugar is a broad term, so let me clarify. I did not give up fruit or unsweetened dried fruit. I did give up sugar, whether refined or unrefined (like Sucanat a...
Anyone else feeling the effects of the time change? I definitely missed the lost hour yesterday as I felt like I was playing catch up all day. So much that this blog post didn’t get written. ...
If you read a lot of food blogs or like to browse Pinterest, no doubt you’ve seen tons of green treats popping up for St. Patrick’s Day. Why do they have to be so darn cute? Cute or not,...
Just when things started settling down and I was feeling like I was getting into a good routine again, I got thrown for a loop. Luke is really congested. Newborn babies only breathe through their no...
Having a new baby is affecting my memory. I just had to sit here for 20 minutes because for the life of me I couldn’t remember what we had for dinner last Sunday. Now that I think of it, I pr...
We read Meghan three books each night at bedtime. She gets to choose the books, which is limited to three because otherwise we’d be reading to her for hours. She’d happily choose readin...
Last month, I posted about getting started with a post-pregnancy exercise routine. Getting started was truly the hardest part. Once I got started, I didn’t want to stop. The last four weeks ...
Welcome to your weekly peek into my kitchen at dinner time. This was my first full week going dairy-free. It hasn’t been too difficult to find my go-to recipes without dairy, but a week witho...
Meghan has a play group that we have weekly play dates with. It’s a great opportunity for her to practice her social skills, sharing, and…who am I kidding? It’s a time for me to t...
Eating sugar is such a slippery slope. I always have the best intentions to keep sugar out of my diet, and then, after a while I inevitably get lax with it. It starts off innocently. I’ll jus...
It’s hard to believe that two months ago I was enjoying a leisurely Sunday afternoon, totally unaware that in a few hours I’d be on my way to the hospital, completely dilated, not knowing...
