During Meghan's first year of preschool, they served juice and some sort of processed food (such as crackers) for snack everyday. It bothered me because those were not things I gave her at home often, but I didn't say anything since she was only there three mornings a week. The next ...

It's time for another edition of Natural Products I'm Loving Now! We all know how difficult it can be to find products we not only feel comfortable using on ourselves, on our family, and in our homes, but also that are effective. I'm trying to help you skip that trial and error step. Welcome to ...
Skinny Blueberry Lemon Smoothie
This Skinny Blueberry Lemon Smoothie is a refreshing treat that is only 100 calories!I'm looking out my window and all I can see is a flurry of white flakes in every direction. So what am I bringing you today? A smoothie, of course. This is my way of saying, "Screw you, winter." Sorry. Was ...
40 Fabulous Healthy Fall Recipes
This is the first week that I feel like fall has really arrived. Where I am the leaves are nearing their peak color, the air is cold, and my summer clothes have been put away. I had fun sorting through all my fall recipes for this post. There are so many I won't be able to enjoy this year ...
First day of school
*Sigh* Meghan started her second year of preschool today. While she was gone, I sat around watching home videos from when she was a baby, blubbering and wondering how she got so big so fast. Not really. But if I would have had the time to do that, I definitely would have cried while watching ...
Operation Eat More Vegetables: Sunny Orange Broccoli
Ever since Meghan (3 3/4 years old) was a toddler, I've used the feeding philosophy outlined in Ellyn Satter's book, How to Get Your Kid to Eat...But Not Too Much. The gist is that I can control what I feed my child, I can control when she eats, but how much she eats is up to her. Satter advocates ...
Becoming a runner…again {guest post}
I'm so excited to introduce my long-time friend, Melissa, today. Besides a dear friend, Melissa is a mom of two adorable little ones, a teacher, and just an all-around awesome woman. Read her story about how she got back into her fitness groove after allowing motherhood to sideline her for a ...
A balanced approach to kids and sweets
I'm not purposely slacking on my blog. I have every intention of posting more often, but life is getting in the way. Making finding the time particularly hard is Luke's digestive issues. Poor little guy is having a lot of trouble and it's really disrupting his sleep. I'm spending a good amount ...
Sweet white bean apple dip with baked cinnamon chips
I turn into Snacky McSnackerton at night. I can't blame it on pregnancy, because even when I don't have a bun in the oven, my body needs to eat sometime between 8-9pm. Having something healthy (and tasty!) on hand is so important for me. If I don't, I end up forcing Tim to go out and buy my ...
Favorite fall recipes
Just a few weeks ago, I was clinging to summer with all my might. It's not so much that I don't like fall; I actually love it. There's one little thing that I don't like, however. Autumn's arrival means that winter is on its way and I don't like winter. Not even a little bit. So, summer ...
Veggie Pancakes
I know what you're thinking. I'm becoming a sneaky chef. First, I sneak vegetables into muffins, and now they're hiding in my pancakes. My intention is not to hide the vegetables from my daughter or my husband. But sometimes, you gotta do whatcha gotta do, know what I mean? It's not that ...
Lemony Snack Bars
Boot camp is officially over. It's a bittersweet ending. Sweet because I won't have to wake up at 5:07 every morning anymore, but bitter because I loved the atmosphere for working out. Sadly, I can't afford to continue boot camping on a long-term basis. Even though I can't continue, it was ...
