Many people take this time between Christmas and New Years to reflect on the past year and set resolutions or intentions for the upcoming year. I do love the idea of setting intentions and think having small and specific goals you're wanting to work … [Read more...]

  As I talked about in last week's post, getting a good night's rest is essential for me to be able to wake up early and feel well the next day.  I'm a creature of habit and it's reassuring to me to have my little night time routine that sets me up for a (fingers crossed) good night's rest.

What got me thinking about writing this post...my husband had me stop to get him Zicam on my drive home last night and while I was checking out the cashier asked me if this … [Read more...]

On my drive to work on Monday morning the radio station I was listening to was discussing how much they had eaten over the holiday weekend and about weight gain. They even turned it into a game and asked listeners to call in and guess how much weight the radio host had gained over the past week. Really?!? Do we have to go there every.single.year. during the holidays. There are so many positive … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and nope... I'm not going there!  I'm not going to write a "How to Eat Healthy During the Holidays" post.

It's no secret that I love bringing my new mom friends yummy food and making sure they are well fed!  These women just spent 9+ months growing a tiny human inside them and are now recovering from probably the most physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting event that's ever happened to them...labor and delivery!
