The other day I had to put concealer on a small blemish and it got me thinking...I haven't had to do this in a long time! If you've been following along with us for a while you know I was struggling with acne and desperately trying to find solutions.

My Personal Struggle with Food, Body Image, and an Identity Crisis
I've been thinking about writing this post for a while now, but I keep putting it off. Not sure why...I've never really put this story into words before.

I will not be going into great detail about numbers, weight history, … [Read more...]
How I Really Feel About Having a Third Boy
Yep, I’m having a third boy. You felt a little twinge of disappointment for me when you saw us pop that blue gender reveal balloon, didn’t you? I’ll admit it.. when I found out I was pregnant for the third time, I hoped for a little girl at first. And up until our reveal party a couple of weeks ago, I could have sworn I was pregnant with a girl. Not because that’s what I wanted per se, but just … [Read more...]
Happy Hour

Happy Hour
I can only drink sparkling water...what is the difference? If I had 64 oz of sparkling a day vs regular is that bad? Good news....sparkling water is harmless and hydrating. Sparkling is just as hydrating as still water, but has added carbonation. This, for some, can cause tummy troubles from the extra air, but the concern about calcium depletion from soda is not about the carbonation but may be … [Read more...]
