I had every intention of posting this blog days ago… but alas, with a newborn, my time is not my own. Actually, that’s a lie. Technically, Ruby is no longer a ‘newborn.’ At over three months, she is considered an ‘infant.’ An ‘infant?’ Sounds so…big… No, she’s TOTALLY a newborn!!! *cries real tears* But I digress… […]
Ever since I gave birth, it’s like my creativity is on hyperdrive. I didn’t just give birth to Ruby, but also, 12 million ideas that keep me from sleeping at night. Has anyone else experienced this after birth? I’m not sure if it’s that my body was too busy creating its’ own project for the […]
When I ask people what their favorite dessert is, nine times out of ten they choose chocolate chip cookies. I’m not sure why… 😉 Is it the sweet to salt ratio? The crunchy exterior with a gooey center? Or maybe the comforting childhood memory of a special treat after school? Basically… WHO CARES!!! PUT IT IN MA […]
I know Mother’s Day isn’t an easy day for everyone. Some couples can’t have children or have lost their little ones… didn’t grow up with ‘The World’s Greatest Mom’….or chose not to have children which can sometimes be a painful decision in hindsight… whose mothers have passed… That is why, as a new mom, […]
Ah yes, Gluten Free Raspberry Tarts… “for the celiac in all of us.” Truth be told, I don’t make tarts often. This is because I’m lazy. Tarts can be very time consuming and due to their delicate nature (especially with a gluten free crust), can be often hard to master. Also, cleaning tart pans is […]
Hey folks! Today we’ve got a whole wheat waffle recipe courtesy of my new heart healthy lifestyle. As I wrote in my previous blog, my high blood pressure followed me home from the hospital after giving birth to my daughter. In this blog, I share my blood pressure journey, imperative information everyone should know before getting […]
Like every family that has been created, our birth story is very personal. Whether you’re a couple, a single mom or adoptive parents, if you have children, we all have lived through a story of chaos and beauty in creating our families. Despite how much our experience felt like a nightmare, I also know we’re […]
This is a really gorgeous picture of me, right? Now I know you’re not going to believe this… but YES! I DO wake-up this way! Now before you hit the ‘envy’ button on your Instagram (because I know how icky one can feel comparing yourself to other mom’s feeds), don’t worry! Today I’m going […]
As you know, Lliam and I have had a rollercoaster couple of months relocating to California. However, when all is said and done, we’ve been able to manifest all of our needs in a timely manner, to the point that a couple of people have reached out to me about manifestation. I haven’t had a […]
There is something innately drilled into the core of my being: EXPECTATION. Especially during the holidays! Whether it’s baking or hosting, going to all of the events, wearing Christmas attire or having a perfectly decorated home, I have had a crazy elf-like compulsion since birth to be Martha Stewart (except if Martha were Ina Garten).
