Monday Morning Confessions

April 22, 2013

1. I regret not going to Boston. I went to the airport as scheduled at 9:00am, but when things were still crazy at 11:00am I switched my flight to the 6:00pm flight and waited. Surprisingly airport food is pretty decent. It finally came time to board at 5:30pm and they hadn’t found the lunatic yet. [...]

Undecided

April 19, 2013

Hey yall! I had a Friday fun facts post for today, but hearing the news from Boston has my morning all mixed up. I’m supposed to fly to Boston later this morning and currently don’t know what I’m going to do. If they catch this guy soon, I’ll wish I was there, but if the [...]

Are Toddlers Eating Too Much Sodium?

April 18, 2013

Lately I’ve noticed that toddlers and sodium has been in the spotlight in the news (example). I received a few emails asking about how much sodium I feed Hailey and to be honest, I didn’t know. I decided to look into it a little more. The American Heart Association suggests that children have no more [...]

Healthy Eating with 8 Year Olds

April 17, 2013

Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk about my favorite subject with a group of 8-10 year old girls. A local mom saw me on Fox News Rising and contacted me about talking to her daughter’s girl scout troop. How could I say no? After all, Troop Beverly Hills is one of my favorite movies. [...]

Thoughts on Boston

April 16, 2013

I don’t know about you, but I slept horribly last night. It’s not that I went to bed particularly scared or worried for my own safety in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, but just feeling disturbed in general. My nightmares weren’t about bombs. In one, I was being chased down and in another [...]

5 Grocery Items I Buy Every Week

April 15, 2013

This weekend was exactly what I hoped it would be- low key. Hailey and I cheered David on at his Friday evening soccer game. And that was probably the wildest thing we did all weekend. Saturday filled up with biking around to garage sales and friends’ houses. I love seeing other people’s stuff. I got [...]

Define Your Healthy

April 12, 2013

Yesterday I had a coffee date with a friend who is certified in functional diagnostic nutrition. An hour and a half flew by as we chatted about adrenal glands, food sensitivities and environmental toxins. Don’t we sound like buckets of fun? I left our talk feeling inspired, jazzed up and ready to never eat anything [...]

Getting my Stitch Fix

April 11, 2013

Remember all those times I told you that you’d never see fashion on here? Well… I’m eating my words because today is about fashion! But no worries, I am definitely not giving out fashion advice; instead, I’m receiving it! I just thought it would be fun to share. Have you heard of Stitch Fix? This [...]

An Odd Day

April 10, 2013

Yesterday was weird. It started when I woke up at 5:30am without an alarm, feeling queasy. I got up to get some things done before the stomach bug took full effect. Only, it never did. I had no appetite, but around 8:00am I forced down a banana and some tea while I waited for Hailey [...]

Toddlerhood: The Next Big Questions

April 9, 2013

I’ve been just rolling with things and enjoying where we are, but a few questions have come up along the way that have me truly realizing my sweet girl isn’t a [...]
