I have been very excited for this week because it is Valentine’s Day week! I absolutely love Valentine’s Day. I have for as long as I can remember. There is just something about this day that makes it one of my favorite days of the year. I love the whimsical red and pink heart decorations, […]
21 Day Fix Week 1 Dinner Ideas
Last week was our first week of the 21 Day Fix. On Friday I posted this picture of all our healthy dinners from the week to Facebook and Instagram because I was just so proud we cooked such healthy dinners all week – even Friday night, which is our weakness. It was also quite an […]
10 Ways to Shop on a Budget
Last week we decided that we needed to kick up our healthy lifestyle change a few notches. We were doing okay (food-wise, not exercise-wise) – much better than we were at the end of 2015, but along comes the weekend and Friday night pizza and then it’s a downward spiral from there for the next two […]

This past weekend I decided to take the plunge and cut off quite a bit of my hair. I believe the accurate term would be I got a “mom haircut”. I was so tired of my long hair…having to move it out of the way so baby bear didn’t pull on it all day long. […]

Tired Mommy
Last night I went to bed shortly after the baby went to sleep. Which never happens because it is the only time of the day when I get to be by myself. I mostly enjoy the extended break I get from a baby attached to my boob. So I stay up way too late, even […]
5 Things I Would Tell My Pregnant Self
Last night we went to Babies R Us because we had racked up some money to spend from their “endless earnings” program, mostly from our kind friends and family who purchased something off of our baby registry. So thank you if you used our registry!! This program is a good incentive to set up a […]
Happy New Year!
So remember that lifestyle change I wrote about a little while ago? We crashed and burned over the holidays. It all began to unwind on a fateful “Taco Tuesday” at our favorite taco place the week before Christmas. And then there was Christmas cookie baking a few times that left a ridiculous amount of cookies […]
Snowflake Finger Painting
We did a quick winter craft this weekend and I just love how it turned out! Baby Bear had fun with this one too! I made a snowflake on a small canvas with masking tape. I poured some blue and white finger paint on it and let baby push it around with her hands. Once it […]
