I am fully aware that daylight savings time happens every year but it never ceases to make me say, “I can’t believe it’s still light outside.” Totally changes the feel of the day. More about that in my weekend recap. For today, last week’s eats and workouts along with a descending interval workout that I [...]

Recent Eats + Workouts: PB & Chocolate Love
February 11, 2019 { 10 comments }I hope that Monday was kind to you. While my weekend in Hershey was a million times more amazing than I ever could have dreamed, it was still the best ever to be home with my crew this morning.

Moving + Eating
February 3, 2019 { 13 comments }Happy Sunday! We’re having a great weekend over here and I’ll recap it for you tomorrow but for today I wanted to backtrack to last week and cover off on both eats AND workouts.

Recent Eats Part Two: Eating with a Baby
January 25, 2019 { 21 comments }So much to share. I thought I’d get this post written much earlier today but it was one of those days where Finn wasn’t into napping and wanted as much physical contact with me as possible. Is there an 8 month sleep regression? Because my Google searching tells me this might be a thing and [...]

January 24, 2019 { 11 comments }I missed writing a recent eats post last week so I have quite the backlog of photos to share with you.

What I Ate + How I Moved Last Week
December 16, 2018 { 16 comments }Last week at this time it was snowing, icy and there were trees falling down in my neighborhood.

December 9, 2018 { 17 comments }Well, I’m back in Charlotte after a whirlwind trip to Tennessee.

Thoughts on Asparagus + Recent Eats
December 2, 2018 { 23 comments }I came to the realization this week that I really don’t like asparagus.

I bought some last week because it was on sale at Whole Foods [...]

What I Ate In a Day
September 19, 2018 { 10 comments }This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine. Eating with a baby can be quite the challenge between finding the time for a meal, prepping the food and sitting down to eat it. This bouncer seat is a huge lifesaver! I keep it in [...]

Home + So Much Good Food
September 11, 2018 { 27 comments }Finn and I flew into Charlotte on a 6:30 a.m. flight this morning. It definitely gave me pause to fly on September 11.

August 25, 2018 { 7 comments }Hey there. Since next week is going to be a “regular” week for me with no travel or company, I wanted to map out my meal plan for the week.

What I Ate + How I Worked Out
July 31, 2018 { 7 comments }Many have shared that they liked seeing a full day of eats from start to finish but I know some of you also like the “recent eats” round ups so I’ll try to do a mix of both. My Tuesday got off to an early start when Finn woke up to eat at 4:45 a.m. [...]

“Doctored Up ” Sweet Kale Salad Kit + Recent Eats
July 28, 2018 { 46 comments }In the last year or so I have found myself really enjoying various kale salad kits. There is something to be said for opening up the bag and dumping the greens in a bowl versus washing, de-stemming and chopping your own (especially with a new baby!). I also like how they typically include other greens [...]

Recent Eats + All the Ice Cream

Behind the Eats
July 11, 2018 { 32 comments }Blogging is a weird thing sometimes. While I try to be open and vulnerable in this space, I don’t feel comfortable going to the place of “dear diary.” So often, even when I’m really struggling, I just keep going like normal here. It’s mostly a good thing because I enjoy writing and it helps me [...]

What I’ve Been Eating Lately

The Art of Eating with a Newborn
June 20, 2018 { 12 comments }I had to think really hard this morning about what day it was. I was really struggling to decide whether it was Tuesday or Wednesday.

Waiting Wednesday
May 16, 2018 { 10 comments }No baby! :) Just a “day in the life” kind of post this evening to check-in with you guys. I slept eight hours last night. That was magical. Granted, I did get up no fewer than five times to go to the bathroom but I was able to fall back asleep quickly. It was a [...]

Friday Things + Recent Eats
May 11, 2018 { 19 comments }I can’t really say TGIF right now because every day feels SO WEIRD. This waiting game is a strange place to be mentally. While I feel pretty not stressed about being a few days late, I almost feel like I’m letting people down that he isn’t here yet. I know that’s crazy. I don’t think [...]

The Week + What I Ate
April 6, 2018 { 19 comments }Hi everyone. I’m just sitting over here with a baby wiggling around in my belly.

This Week + Eats
March 30, 2018 { 8 comments }Morning and happy Friday! I can’t believe how fast the weeks are ticking away.

Weekend: Movies, Nursery Prep and Easy Eats
March 12, 2018 { 10 comments }How’s everyone feeling after the time change? I have to admit that it was hard to get out of bed this morning when my alarm went off at 6:45 a.m. and it was still dark outside…and rainy…but I’ll take it for those extra hours of evening daylight! This was the first weekend in over a [...]

Recent Eats (Including Vegetables) + Pregnancy Digestion
February 19, 2018 { 7 comments }I’ve done a better job with eating some vegetables since my last recent eats post. Definitely not because it’s what I’m craving but at least I’ve gotten them down. (source) I like to attribute this change in appetite preferences to the graphic above (isn’t it crazy!?). When you’re pregnant your intestines and stomach get smushed [...]
