While I was answering this week's Happy Hour question about the benefits of collagen (read more here) I found myself using the term "gut health" a lot and figured this was a topic that could use it's own blog post. Gut health is my jam and I love learning about how our gut works (it's so complex) and how we can best take care of it. I've been listening to this book on tape and while I wouldn't … [Read more...]
But First.. Coffee
Alix- what are your favorite smoothie flavors from Daily Harvest? I've liked pretty much all of the smoothies I've tried so far! The only ones I haven't loved is the cold brew + almond (which I was so excited about!) and the dragon fruit + lychee. My favs are pineapple + matcha, chai + coconut, mint + cacao, and blueberry + hemp. I have an apple + greens coming my way this week I'm excited to … [Read more...]

It's HERE! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has started and it feels like Christmas ;) but not going to lie, we got to the store right when it opened this morning and it felt like the Hunger Games. Online shopping is WAY better and less stress. Below are the items we snagged or would purchase if we had any money left ha. I didn't get any denim because #pregnant and #fat but there are SO many good … [Read more...]
How to Create a Brunch DIY Avocado Toast Bar
I hosted a girls brunch a few weeks ago and went back and forth with menu ideas. I wanted to keep it simple and avoid being in a hot kitchen prepping all morning, so I decided on an avocado toast bar. I figured this would be a fun and interactive menu that the girls could tailor to their own preferences. It took a little bit of prep to get everything sliced and ready to go, but I was able to do … [Read more...]

Happy Hour
What is your favorite nursing bra and tank for those first few months when you're tender and sore from breastfeeding? Heather: I always wore Cake maternity sports bras during postpartum. They're a little pricey but worth it to me.. the material is extra soft and my boobs had no business being in any sort of real bra with underwire or straps digging into my skin. I needed comfort all day long. … [Read more...]

20 Week Bump Date
How Far Along: Halfway there.. I can't even believe it! The first 20 weeks went by pretty slow in my opinion and I have a feeling the second half is going to fly.. at least until those last few weeks (which last 365 days). We have a very busy summer planned and before we know it, it'll be September, then October, then oh sh*t he's gonna be here. Not. Ready. But who's ever ready for a … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
Did you use an app for tracking breastfeeding? Alix: No I'm old school and like to see it all written down. I kept a little journal with my feeding times (aiming for a minimum of 8 feeds/24 hours I believe) and a tally for poops and pees (for Quinn- not me haha). I think I did this for about a 1-2 weeks until she was gaining weight and we had a little routine down. I also had a hair tie I wore … [Read more...]
My Weekday Meal Plan + Workouts
While chatting with a few other mom friends... we all agreed that lunch for us often turns into just a bunch of snacks all afternoon. A handful of crackers here, a bar there, a few bites of your kids uneaten mac & cheese...so unsatisfying! So my goal for this week was to have everything on hand to make a well balanced MEAL at lunch time. On Sunday afternoon I came up with dinner ideas for … [Read more...]
