How To Meal Prep Like a Goddess… Er… A Tired Working Mom with Standards

Sorry for the long as all get out hiatus. Work life has been both amazing and overwhelming. More on that later. We moved (twice in 4 mo) across the country. We bought a house. I have a new, amazing job. I hosted a huge data event. But now, things are starting to slow down. I’ve […]

I’m adapting

I’m working on a big post but I’ve been using my time off to be time on. I’ve done a lot. I’ve finally wrapped up some projects, I’ve gotten my first haircut in over a year. Oh, and I left my kid in daycare and took 4 days to myself. Special shout out to my […]

12 things I want to change for new moms

My baby is now 12 months old. She is a TODDLER. A year ago, I pushed out a baby who has been a joy since day one. Honestly, I feel like I got away with a crime having a baby who eats anything, sleeps through the night, and loves to go out. Today, she got […]

Sorry, kids, we’re those parents

Working Mom Reviews: Brush-Baby Teething Brush

A plea from a mom with allergies: Ask, don’t tell

I have several life-threatening food allergies: shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts. I’ve had anaphylactic reactions to nuts and shellfish but, thankfully not peanuts (yet). I developed a serious reaction to nuts and peanuts later in life (my early 20s) and my shellfish allergy has always been there. We have come a long way since my childhood with […]

I’m Officially Opposed to Encapsulating Your Placenta Now

When R was born, I wanted to see the placenta. I asked about that in our birth class. Everyone in the room thought I was weird for asking, “Can we see our placenta”. Much to my husband’s dismay and horror, I did see it (and so did he). I grew up with horses giving birth […]

The lowdown on cloth diapers

Cloth diapers are fantastic but may be daunting to a noob like I was. I thought I would write a post about the first 10 weeks of our experience with them. We’ve used a number of styles of diapers thus far. I figured I would write a post reviewing some popular types of cloth diapers. […]
