I really can't imagine life without this little smile now: I mean really, what did I even do with myself before Wes came into our lives? Who was I? I don't even remember, and the best part is that I just don't care. He's such a stinking cutie pie that I find myself giggling about his little personality all the time. I look at him and can't believe the amount of cuteness that radiates from him. I just can't believe how much our lives have changed over the course of 8 ... continue reading...
Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake for One (in a Jar)
I've figured it out. I've figured out how to do portion control for sweets. I'm hesitant to share, but I think it's important so here goes. The secret... to perfect portion control... is... To make it a pain in the ass to make another one. Confused? Let me explain. When it comes to coffee cake, specifically the kind with a lovely streusel topping, I have almost zero self control. It's just so stinking delicious ... continue reading...
Blog Love: Crock Pot Kung Pao Chicken
Man alive, is it really 10:30am already?! I swear the days around here fly by faster than I ever thought possible. Not to mention Wes just projectile vomited all over me, his clean outfit, my clean outfit, and a freshly cleaned carpet. He didn't cry and seemed totally fine afterwards but I totally burst into tears and snuggled the heck out of him. Poor little nugget... Anyway, time is crazy these days and most of the time Nate's on his way home from work and dinner isn't anywhere near ... continue reading...
Body After Baby: Part 1
It's the day every pregnant woman dreams about (besides the day that she gets to hold her sweet baby for the first time): the day that she finally has her body back. And by that I mean the day that she feels normal in her skin again, where her clothes fit like normal, where she feels strong and fit and sexy again. If I had to pick a "happy" look, this would be it! The thing is that day comes at different time for every woman; for me it's turning out to be a work in progress. Since I didn't ... continue reading...
Bacon and Chive Croissant Pinwheels
I love breakfast and sadly it's one of the most neglected meals of the day. Wait, did you think I meant I didn't eat it? No sirree...I eat breakfast every day. Woe to the person who ever has to know me without breakfast. It's bad. BAD I TELL YOU! Sorry, I haven't had breakfast yet. See what I mean? Anyway, what I mean by neglected is that rarely put as much thought and effort into breakfast as I do any other meal of the day. I blame it on the fact ... continue reading...
Toasted Coconut Tres Leches Cake
So. Next weekend. What do y'all have planned? For me the obvious choice (besides hanging out with my girls at the Blend Retreat) is celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Sure, it's not an American holiday but holy goodness is it fun! AAAAAAND it's Keira's birthday, which if you ask me is even more of a reason to celebrate. Hey, I may even get crazy and have a margarita! Who knows...I'm a wild one ;) In all seriousness though, Cinco de Mayo is one of my all-time favorite holidays ... continue reading...
Week 7: I Wish Time Would Stand Still
Yesterday I was on a walk with Wes and the pups at the dog park when all of a sudden it hit me: 7 weeks ago I had just started the induction process to get this little man out of my belly and into our arms: It's funny, it feels like the even-numbered weeks are so much harder to swallow than the odd-numbered ones. 2 weeks? Holy moly. 3 weeks? No big deal. Last week felt like a huge milestone, but 7 weeks just feels like a big fat extension of week 6. Not that I mind though; anything I ... continue reading...

Lately I've been eating too much Nutella. Pffffffffffffft...like there is such a thing. ... continue reading...
Baked Chipotle Chicken Eggrolls
When I was a kid we had fried rice for dinner once a week, and when I say fried rice I mean the good stuff with lots of bacon, soy sauce, and only my favorite veggies. Let me just state that to this day, try as I might, I still can't replicate whatever kind of voodoo my mom would do to that pot of goodness. But we're not here to talk about my lack of fried rice skills because it's just depressing and these eggrolls are not even Asian in the first place. Sometimes I ramble. It ... continue reading...
Blog Love: Chicken Tortilla Chip Casserole
Lately when it comes to dinner I've been pretty proud of myself. I've actually been cooking pretty much every night except for Fridays because we always have pizza for dinner on Fridays. Have I mentioned that I kind of live for Fridays? Anyway, when it comes to cooking lately I've been leaning toward recipes that encompass two things: Inexpensive ingredients. Maternity leave, although incredible and wonderful and all things amazing, does not pay much. Therefore a big fat ... continue reading...
Sunday Sushi
I just need to say...I FINALLY HAD SUSHI!!!!! Ever since the moment I found out I was pregnant I have been craving sushi and couldn't actually have any. Sad story, right? Well, Sunday the sushi-less spell was broken thanks to my husband's mad rolling skills. We had fairly basic rolls - salmon, California, and shrimp - but it was heaven. HEAVEN I TELL YOU! Nate, thanks for bringing me back from this. It just tastes so good! ... continue reading...
Banana Bread Replay
I've said it before, but I am not really the BIGGEST fan of bananas...unless they're baked with sugar and butter and all manner of delicious things like that. And you guys? Banana bread, despite my lack of banana love, is one of my favorite things ever. Gimme a warm piece slathered in butter and I'm a happy, happy gal. I remember every time my mom would make banana bread I'd whine and cry about hating bananas and then sneak extra pieces when no one else was looking. I have a reputation to ... continue reading...
