I don’t talk about eating disorders often on my blog but I do talk about disordered eating. This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness week and I’ve been seeing a lot of posts from my friends and felt compelled to share my own story. The theme for this year is “Come as you are.”  Come […]

This post is sponsored by Signify. I received product and compensation, but all opinions are my own. Tommy’s new thing is that he is afraid of the dark. We believe we are in the midst of transitioning away from a nap because he stays awake until 9-10 pm at night. At bedtime, he requests the […]

I am not a vegan but I like to eat a plant-based diet when I can. One brand that really changed my impression on this way of eating is Vega. For nearly 10 years, I’ve been preaching my love for their protein powders and nutritional shakes. They taste the best in my opinion, use quality […]

It’s summer, people like to let loose and have fun. Maybe you worked hard for your bikini body, or maybe you just gave birth to a baby, regardless, you want to feel good. Not long ago, I shared a video that I thought gave insight into how I overcame my own food guilt. You guys told […]

This post is sponsored by Stop & Shop. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Grocery shopping is overwhelming. I rarely bring a list which isn’t always the smartest option but it allows me flexibility to buy what’s on sale and in season. I’m also always eager to try new foods, especially if they are […]

There are so many lists online with what you should and shouldn’t do when you’re pregnant. Personally, I think most of them are overrated. This isn’t one of those lists. Don’t eat sushi, they say. I don’t eat raw fish because I have gotten food poisoning from eating raw oysters and it was worse than […]

I know a lot of people who are guilty of saying “I was bad, I ordered the ice cream sundae.” You ordered ice-cream mom, you didn’t kill anyone! I used to associate eating “guilty/comfort” foods with being bad and it took a toll on my self esteem for years. It caused stress and anxiety. I’ve […]

Even before I had a child, I was never that big into cooking. I like my meals to be ready in under 30 minutes. I don’t have the patience to cook a big meal, shop for a million ingredients, and wonder if I’ll ever use them again.  But I like to eat at home as […]

Hanukah is in full swing and Christmas is just 12 days away but I think we all need a little reminder to be kinder to ourselves this holiday season. I never try to lose weight over the holidays, it would be too tempting, but it is possible to maintain any progress your’ve made and today […]

I haven’t been to my primary care doctor in maybe 3 years. I cancelled my physical when I was pregnant because I was going to the hospital so often. Even with an adventurous toddler, I’ve managed to stay pretty healthy with one exception. It’s important for me to stay healthy not only as a mom but also as […]
