I have been a snack monster recently. I eat small meals and eat snacks in between. I noticed that if I start my day with high protein foods, I can better control the hunger pangs that I get all day long. Before pregnancy, on days that I was very rushed, I can survive on black […]
The month of January finds me at 29-32 weeks in my pregnancy. I look at my growing belly and I get more and more excited to meet the baby. I’m feeling well over all, but I have my days where I don’t get enough sleep and I’m ready to nap and call it a day […]
After the holidays, I felt the need to hit the restart button when it came to foods that I was eating. Between Thanksgiving and New Years, I ate too many heavy foods during social gatherings. I ate too much sugar and I definitely did not have enough activity. It was cold and I promised myself […]

For someone who loves to bake, it’s amazing that I haven’t made a lot of different kind of bake goods. My comfort zone in my kitchen and for using my oven is usually cookies, snack bars, quick breads and muffins. I want to venture out of my comfort zone. I want to try something new. […]
I’ve got seven weeks of wearing my wardrobe capsule and it’s clear which items are my favorite and will be carried over to the next capsule. I find myself gravitating towards wearing more dresses because they are so quick and easy to wear but I didn’t include a lot in this capsule, the 4-5 that […]
