This blog post is brought to you by… my foyer, which is where I am currently typing. On Saturday, we returned the pretty rug in the office because it was falling apart and fuzzing everywhere.  And we just haven’t bothered to put the desk back in its place.  Any bets on how long the desk [...]

A-mazzzz-ing. So amazing to go out (sans baby), but just as amazing to come home (to baby).  That’s pretty nice.

Cup of coffee, anyone? I spotted this Pumpkin Spice coffee at Trader Joe’s and immediately tossed it into my cart.  It’s no Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks (of course) but it tastes pretty darn delicious.  Although anything in coffee form tastes good after the night that I had… I’m sleeping on a mattress on the [...]

After a pretty stressful week, I finally, FINALLY found the time to lace up my sneakers and go for a run.  A solo sweat session never felt so sweet. I really fell off track this week.  Happens to all of us, right?  I was following a 10K training plan from Another Mother Runner, but I’ve [...]

Funny story. I am in a mad rush to leave my house (still am, actually).  I put the ingredients for two smoothies together – one for me, one for Kristien – but then cannot find the top to the blender. “Oh, screw it,” I think.  I grab a paper towel and cover the top.  I [...]

Allison wrote, “I am a vegetarian. I originally went strict vegan after reading Skinny Bitch in 2008. I was vegan for about a year and a half, and while I felt amazing when I was doing it, I eventually transitioned into a vegetarian and have been one ever since. Since you have been a vegetarian [...]

My baby has transformed into a pterodactyl.  A little squeaking dinosaur.  Henry has discovered that squeals and screams are vastly more amusing that coos. Rawr.   Lunch was a twist on my very favorite Trader Joe’s frozen meal… Beloved Vegetable Panang Curry! Pumped up with roasted potatoes and kale. The potatoes were so good – [...]

Check this out.  Henry woke me up at 5:30 (ugh) BUT he cuddled me in the guest bed and went back to sleep for THREE HOURS.  AKA I am now the happiest momma alive.  Not only did I get to go back to sleep but (but!) Henry let me cuddle him.  Henry is a squirmy [...]

I’m having a brain dump kind of day.   Sunny spots rule. I miss coaching Girls on the Run way, way more than I thought I would, and I was pretty sure that I was going to miss it a lot.  I can’t wait to run the 5K as a running buddy in December!   [...]

A little bit of reading… A little bit of playing… And now, a little bit of napping… So I can get a little bit of eating done! This recipe is based on the Banana Bread Breakfast Bake recipe but contains everyone’s favorite fall ingredient… PUMPKIN.  Yum.  I really, really like the combination of corn bread [...]

Thanks so much for all your suggestions on how I can find a new running buddy! I loved the ideas. I set off on my search to find a buddy this past weekend (more details if anything actually pans out). Fingers crossed! My current buddy isn’t very good at running...   Here’s a summary of [...]

Today is a very good day!   It’s been a long time coming, but we finally executed the lease for our clinic’s new office space.  The place that the Husband and my father-in-law have been practicing in for the last two years was always envisioned as temporary space, and our practice has grown to the [...]

Oh yeah.  You know I love a great veggie mix.  This one was awesome.  The secret ingredient?  Sunflower seeds. CRUNCH and FLAVOR In the mix:  quinoa, black beans, corn relish salsa (from Trader Joe’s), stir-fried carrots, and loads and loads of sunflower seeds.   Speaking of killer combos, here are four things that I did [...]
