I have been waxing my eyebrows every two weeks for about 12 years – minus that 60 day period during The Naked Face Project. In all the waxes that I’ve survived – I say survived because it still hurts like hell – I have never had anyone drip wax on me.  But today, I had [...]

Baby bibs are designed with a little pocket at the bottom.  Babies drop a lot of food, of course, and the pocket catches the goodies so the bits don’t end up in their lap or on the floor. It’s always so exciting to peek into the bib at the end of the meal and discover [...]

Hi there! I sure hope you are having a more relaxing Friday than I am. I’m juggling watching Henry while trying to make three huge deadlines; therefore, I am freaking out. So I’m just popping in to say “hi!” and tell you about a little DIY project I took on a few weeks ago.   [...]

How did Week 2 go for you? I did AWESOME. So proud of myself for hitting all my goals this week.   As a reminder, we’re working towards swimming, biking, and running the total distances for the Ironman triathlon over the course of an entire month.  That means the goal for this week was to [...]

If I could give new parents one piece of advice, it would be this: shop consignment!  You will save a ridiculous amount of money by buying clothes, gear, and toys used. I have bought most of Henry’s clothes and toys on consignment and saved hundreds of dollars in the process. I bought a lot of [...]

When you bottle feed your baby, your entire life revolves around ounces.  I don’t think I really understood what a fluid ounce looked like before I had Henry – and was constantly filling up bottles. The other day, I was writing a freelance piece on what qualifies as a ‘healthy’ amount of wine.  Alcohol can [...]

I’ve been trying to be more creative in the kitchen.  I think daylight savings time is having a positive impact on my cooking!  When it’s cold and dark out, all I can muster is cereal for dinner – or a microwavable meal.  Now that it’s lighter, later, I’m getting a second wind when it comes [...]

Hello! My name is Kathleen, and I’ve been an HTP follower for a few years.  I was especially intrigued by Caitlin’s The Naked Face Project (when she gave up makeup, shaving, and all forms of primping for sixty days). I keep it very basic in my own routine; I wear a ponytail most of the [...]

Apparently, we are the kind of people who go to the grocery store in our pajamas. At least Henry looks cute in his footed onesie!  I just look like a trainwreck momma. We were publicly embarrassing ourselves for a good cause – fresh fruit!  And Nutella. One of the hotels that I stayed in last [...]

I made this dish this afternoon while Henry was eating his lunch.  It was cooling on the stovetop when my dad stopped by, and he immediately said, “I wish I didn’t eat lunch already – what is that?! It looks great.” Oh, and it was!   Another variation on my beloved Quiche Cornbread – this [...]

I am feeling really good about training lately.  Ironman March is motivating me to seriously mix up my workouts, so I always look forward to exercise.  My muscles hurt in so many new ways, too!  I took yesterday off (Sunday’s back-to-back run and swim did me in), and today, I went to spin class. While [...]

Charlotte is experiencing a bout of sunny spring weather.  It’s perfect outside – warm but not hot, breezy but not too windy.  Spring has sprung in the South! We took an hour off in the middle of the day to have a picnic and play at the park.  We’ve been to the park for the [...]
