How to make time for exercise (as a mommy)
I was really fortunate that I was able to exercise all throughout my pregnancy with Michael. I was even power walking and jogging up until a few days before giving birth…although some might argue that I was just waddling. After Michael was born, I kind of had my hands full (go figure), and if I had any extra down time, I sure wasn’t thinking about working out. Napping? That was a whole other story. I’d take one of those any day of the week. Regardless of how tired I might have been, my body eventually started to beg for...

1. As I was cleaning the other day, Saved by the Bell was playing on television in the background. It was the episode where Slater’s pet chameleon Artie dies, and Mr. Belding organizes a school wide funeral in his honor. Seriously, how did I not realize how ridiculously cheesy that show was when I was younger? Don’t get me wrong- I’ll always love that show regardless of the extreme cheese factor. In fact, that’s probably part of the reason why I do like it so much! After all, I am a giant cheeseball...

I know, I know… Another post about The Honest Company. I swear that I’m not affiliated with the company in any way, and I haven’t been paid to mention them a billion times- or even at all. However, I was asked by several readers to discuss what I think of their products, so I thought I’d do one last review. Any more reviews, and I will be requesting a commission from Jessica Alba. I’m subscribed to receive the family essentials bundle. (Diapers & wipes and health & wellness bundles are...

1. Michael has two teeth now! Both of his bottom front teeth have officially broken through the gums, and it is the cutest thing in the world. Well, it is the cutest thing to me at least. 2. I’m totally incapable of pronouncing “Worcestershire” (as in Worcestershire sauce). I actually stood in my kitchen the other day trying to say it while reading a recipe, but the word just doesn’t roll right off the tongue at all. 3. I take Michael for a walk around the neighborhood every morning and afternoon. Our...
read moreWeekend recap (family fun at the zoo)
I took a ton of pictures over the weekend. In fact, I took so many that my iPhone actually begged for mercy and told me that I wasn’t permitted to take anymore unless I deleted some existing ones first. Anyway, here are some of the one million photos that I took… On Saturday evening, we had dinner outdoors at Portofino’s (which was preceded by a family shopping trip to GAP), and I ordered my very favorite salmon salad ever. Truth be told, I mainly order it because I love the salad dressing so much. I’m fairly...

1. I’ve mentioned it a time or two before, but I’m a really big Kellie Pickler fan. She’s just so cute, endearing, and funny (whether she intends to be or not). Anyway, I enjoyed watching her dance with Derek Hough on this past season of Dancing with the Stars and was so excited when they won. If you haven’t seen their freestyle dance, you must watch it. It was so beautiful! 2. I’m so into Instagram lately. I’ve been snapping pictures of anything from my meals, to new products I’ve...
