Last night my son got up at 4:30 am. I’m not exactly sure why, he doesn’t usually wake up during the night and he didn’t seem scared or sick. Perhaps the time change is still messing around with his rhythm… either way, he got me up and I went in his room to lull him…

Strawberry Balsamic Burger Salad
Who’s stoked on summer?!?! OH MEE! ME ME ME! I’m over here working on my summer bod… and by that I mean I’m 3 weeks away from my due date. (teehee) It’s pretty incredible to be coming into a summer season NOT CONCERNED AT ALL about my “bikini body”. In fact, I like my bikini…
Pregnancy Week 32: Not Perfect, but Good.
“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” This is one of my ALL TIME favorite mantras. Some people may think that it breeds mediocrity, but I think it’s a fantastic way to keep our do-it-all, be-it-all tendencies in check.

In my first post, I wanted to shed light on the unfortunate mindset that plagues so many of us, especially around the new year. The idea that we should be different. That who we are right now is not good enough, pretty enough, successful enough, or thin enough. The last conversation was centered around weight…
The Weight Series – Resolutions
The New Year means New Years Resolutions. Everyone’s chanting, “New Year, New You!” You’ve likely read posts online about making this year “Your Best Year Yet!” Or maybe you’ve read a recent magazine article showing you “How to Stick to your New Year’s Resolutions“. You may have written them in a journal, or posted them on Facebook, or maybe…
Chicken Herb Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze
Today I listened to a podcast featuring Isabel Foxen Duke. In it she referenced a woman named Ellen Satter and her working definition of “Normal Eating”. “Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food you like and eat it and truly get enough…
