Wow, is it really Thursday already? The weeks go by in a blink of an eye lately. It's busy and hectic over here these days. Building a house is waaaay more time-consuming than I ever could have predicted. It's like a full-time job. Seriously. If only this was a home blog, I'd have all kinds ...

What this breastfeeding mama eats in a day
The last 5-7 months, as I've figured out Luke's food intolerances, I've had new challenges when it comes to eating. I've cut dairy, soy, nuts, and wheat out of my diet. When you suddenly have to avoid foods that have been staples for you, it can be daunting. There are days when I get frustrated ...
Vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream pie
The dog days of summer are here. Where I live, it's hot. If I close my eyes and walk outside, I could mistakenly think I walked into a sauna. The last thing I want to do is turn on my oven and bake. But I still need dessert. Oh, yes, dessert still needs to be had. My sweet tooth is kind of ...
6 months
Somebody's been in this world for half a year! Luke recently turned 6 months old (I'm a little behind on these updates so he's actually 6.5 months already) and we are loving this stage. Gone is the newborn who was content to sit in his bouncy chair and stare at the teddy bears hanging in front of ...
The 5K that was supposed to be a 10K
I owe you a running update. The last time I gave you a postpartum fitness update, I was training for a 10k. I guess you surmised from the title that the 10K didn't happen. Even though I battled multiple clog milk ducts and mastitis that put the brakes on my training, I still planned on running ...
5 months
Look who went and turned 5 months old while I was on my blogging break. Doesn't it seem like just yesterday I was looking like this? Health/Development So many of you have emailed or left me comments regarding Luke's health and asking questions. I suppose I was a bit vague about his digestive ...

Postpartum update: 2 months later
It's hard to believe that two months ago I was enjoying a leisurely Sunday afternoon, totally unaware that in a few hours I'd be on my way to the hospital, completely dilated, not knowing how close I was to giving birth. We've come a long way since then. How I'm Doing The last month has ...
Big love
Things are about to get a little sappy here on Happy Healthy Mama. I apologize ahead of time and blame the post-pregnancy hormones on the sentimental vibe that's taken me over today. It is Valentine's Day, after all. And while a lot of people argue it's just a Hallmark holiday and a silly ...
Exercise update: starting is the hardest part
After my 6 week (already?!) postpartum check up on Thursday, the doctor gave me the green light to begin exercising. At first, I thought, I'll start on Monday. Then I realized that I was just putting it off. Why not start now? What was so special about Monday? source So instead, I just started. ...
Postpartum update: one month later
The last four weeks have passed by in a wonderful, exhausting fog. It really is true that with motherhood comes amnesia and as time passes, you forget what the newborn stage is really like. You forget what it means to operate on a small amount of fragmented sleep on an everyday basis. You ...
