Lasso The Moon

I’ve always loved It’s A Wonderful Life. I relate so much to George Bailey and his crazy family. That film is just chalk full of real-life goodness. George and Mary’s romance starts out so adorable, and the first time we see how much George loves her is when he says those memorable and preposterous words:… Read More »

The Top Seven Things About Being Pregnant

Lately I’ve found myself constantly complaining about the ailments of pregnancy. I feel so fat! My tailbone is stabbing me! I’m sick of my bladder. So I have to be hungry all the time AND have heartburn?! I could go on, but the purpose of this post is to stop the whining for a sec… Read More »

Homemade Creamed Horseradish

I suppose you might be wondering what you’re looking at up there. No, I didn’t castrate a horse. What we have here is a large horseradish root. Remember a while back I was knocking the Paleo diet, but told you they have a killer horseradish recipe? Yah, well, I thought I’d do us all a… Read More »

I Tried the Paleo Diet

Alright. There’s something that needs to be said. I never spoke of it because for one, I quit. And secondly, I got pregnant and it seemed pointless. How cryptic is that, right? I tried the Paleo diet. For two weeks. That’s right. Paleo. Two weeks. I could easily say that I “failed” at it, but… Read More »

Olive Oil Matters + A Hummus Recipe

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pompeian. For the past few months, cooking has been a real challenge for me. I blame it entirely upon my pregnancy. First there was the morning sickness, then the exhaustion, and finally the only-wanting-an-In-n-Out-Burger phase which I am finally beginning to vacate. Ok, that’s… Read More »

Instagram Makes Me A Better Mom

My life is not realistically portrayed in my Instagram feed. I say that I use instagram to capture moments of my day–but really, it doesn’t do that. Much of the time my life is washed out by a flash. It’s blaring and obnoxious. The color all confused. It needs multiple filters to look pretty, or… Read More »

Excuses

Have you heard of Maria Kang? She pissed off a lot of people a few months back with her extremely annoying “family portrait.” Maria is someone who spends a lot of time on her body. Even a quick glance at her portrait will tell you that she is a woman dedicated to strengthening, training, and… Read More »
