Get Unreal, really!

I had a party last week courtesy of Unreal Candy.  How great is that?  I had a party and candy for free. Perfect, right?  I thought so. I signed up for this promotion because I love chocolate and I love all natural products.  Check and check.  Not only that, but it’s actually somewhat healthy with [...]

Who decided toddlers don’t eat veggies?

The idea that kids hate vegetables is total… well fudge.  We eat our fair share of that around here, too.  It tastes good, goes down easy, but it’s goodness is ultimately short-sited. I do realize there are some very picky eaters out there.  I promise I’m not on any high horse for superior parenting here, [...]

Loving My Body. Or Trying To.

IMG_7467

If you don’t love your body, no one else will.  Only you can determine your body image.  It doesn’t matter if your in perfect shape or not. As usual, easier said than done, right? I want my body back.  I feel like an alien in my own skin.  I’m uncomfortable with my awkward body and [...]

FitMoms: Get Your Sweat on With Toddler in Tote

Elena_and_I

I started this blog as a mode of accountability for staying fit once I had Little Man, so I know how hard it can be to fit in the time for exercise when you have little ones around.  Whether you work full-time or stay home, finding time for fitness can be challenging.  So, when I [...]

BlogHer Book Club: Why Women Need Fat

This is my first BlogHer Book Club review.  While pregnant, I generally try to avoid books about weight and dieting, but something about this book got the best of my curiosity. “Why Women Need Fat” is not your typical diet book.  In fact it’s completely anti-dieting.  Basically, this book asserts that every woman is born [...]

One Major Benefit Of Walking Through Pregnancy

As a pregnant mother of a toddler, the furthest thing down my priority list is taking a walk. In the time I’m not chasing after Little Man, doing chores, or making meals, I want to sit on the couch and veg. However, I also know how important it is. During my last pregnancy, I remember [...]

No Easy Way

There’s no easy way out. As hard as that is to face most of the time, it’s true. Everyday I’m reminded of how much we, as in all people, love to look for the easy solution.  Everything from losing weight to alleviating pain and even making money.  We want to pop a pill to melt [...]

Yoga’s not a competition. Modify.

Due to recommendations by others, along with my own desire to get back into a regular yoga practice, I have decided to start posting about yoga more frequently. I may eventually start a weekly post one day of the week, but I’m not going to commit to that as of yet. At BlogHer ’11, I [...]

Taking A Step Back From The Mundane

I don’t know if I am alone here, but often I find myself in a funk.  One where I struggle to go to sleep at night, which leads to a cycle of bad habits. Little Man’s recent shift in sleeping habits, in which he goes down around 7:30 PM and sleeps until 10 AM, is [...]

Reclaiming Our Sanity

All I did was turn off the TV, but it feels like so much more. As I sit here, reflecting on the day, I am struck by the overwhelming quiet and calm feeling that has enveloped our home.

I know: deep. Bear with me if you can.
