I am now three months postpartum and was recently putting away my postpartum essentials basket and realized I didn’t use everything in my basket, so I wanted to do a quick update to my previous Postpartum Essentials post. There are a few items that really stood out as postpartum winners and they are a MUST […]
UPDATE: Since having my baby, I wanted to do a quick update to my postpartum essentials basket on what I actually used or didn’t use! Click here to see my postpartum must haves! In preparation for delivery and postpartum, I wanted to create my own postpartum kit with everything that I might need when I […]
I have always loved Mexican-ish foods: tacos, nachos, burritos, oh my! So becoming a vegetarian wasn’t that difficult for me because you can substitute beans for meat in tons of dishes! Last year, I was so sick of opening cans of refried beans. Is it actually vegetarian or is it made with lard? Which brand […]
Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, I made broccoli cheese soup. It was a disaster. I’m not sure what went wrong, but it was inedible.

My husband has had a sore throat and just generally been feeling icky for the past few days. I’ve been trying to stuff him (and myself) with tons of vitamins and fluids hoping that he quickly gets through this and that I don’t get sick. Normally, I would really dread my husband having a Man […]
If you read my last recipe post, Raspberry Lemonade Party Punch, you will know that I recently went to a bachelorette party for which I offered to bring adult beverages long before I knew I was pregnant. I wanted to make a yummy, pink punch and some fun Jell-o shots. I love to make Jell-o […]
The weather is warming up! I’m so excited to put away my winter jacket and boots, to open the sunroof, put down the windows and turn up the music! One of the best things about the weather warming up is spending time outside, BBQs, and bonfires! I love having people over, turning on the grill, […]
