This week I am sharing another "What I Ate Wednesday", but this day is a little different because I'm taking you through a typical workday. If you did not read my last WIAW check it out here for a disclaimer on the purpose and my intention of these types of posts. Someone recently asked on Instagram if I'm a practicing Dietitian... and the answer is yes! I currently work one day a week at a … [Read more...]

March Beauty Finds
So I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of my beauty finds each month.. kind of like Alix's grocery store finds. But this would be the top products I discovered, used and loved.

A Day in the Life: Heather
I'll admit it: I'm nosy. I like to know what people's days look like, especially moms- working or not. I've been both and I have friends who are both.

But after Cam, I felt my calling was to stay home with my boys and so … [Read more...]

I love soup, especially in this cold weather, but I never know if I'm choosing a healthy option. Should I stay away from soups with words like "bisque" or "cream of.."? What are some of your favorite soups? Soups can be tricky because we often think of soup as being a "light" and "healthier" option and sometimes that just is not the case. You want to either check the ingredient label or ask the … [Read more...]

My Sleep Training Experience: A Version of Cry It Out
Sleep training. I'm afraid to even say those two little words because of how much controversy and opinion it stirs up. However, over the past 3 years I have received countless emails and texts from friends asking about my sleep training experience and how I got my kids to sleep from 6:30 pm-6:30 am by the time they were 4 months old. I wish I could say that I sleep trained my babies without … [Read more...]
