Where to Find Stylish Maternity Clothing For All Trimesters
Shopping for maternity wear can be quite challenging, especially during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Not only do your stomach and breasts grow, but your back and rib cage expand to support your frame and your legs grow to support the added weight. I’m now 19 weeks and at a style point I call “clothing limbo.” I’m not quite in maternity, but I’m also putting on some of my regular clothes for the last time until I welcome my baby…
The Healthy Cookbook Every Mom Needs On Her Shelf
So I’m now 17 weeks pregnant and the time is FLYING! I’m feeling wonderful; working out 4-5 times a week with a mix of cardio and pregnancy barre DVDs. The morning sickness and lethargy have all but disappeared, replaced by my constant foraging for food. When you’re always hungry it’s tempting to just reach for processed food because you want something fast. Not going to lie, I’ve given in sometimes. But to largely avoid this faux-food pitfall, I’ve been stocking…
Mindful Mom: Create a Toddler “I Spy Bottle”

Using the funnel, measuring cup and rice helps with pouring, hand/eye coordination and patience. Since Easter is coming up,…
Skinny Love Carrot Cake
I’m blessed to have my 87-year-old Grandma Charlotte as a guest in our home for the next week. Every time she visits, or I travel back to see her in Michigan, I always pick up some baking tips (and a couple of extra pounds) because she is such a master baker. Since Easter is almost here and one of our family traditions is baking a to-die-for carrot cake, I wanted to share a healthier version we made together. This cake…
Count Me Healthy Valentine’s Day Gift Guide + Giveaway
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays: The colors, the paper-goods, the sweets! There is something airy and light about it. But I feel like the flowers and chocolates are being replaced by cool things you can actually wear and use. Gone are the days when I bought my 6th grade boyfriend a 4-piece mini-box of Russell Stover’s assorted chocolates and the single cassette tape of C&C Music Factory’s “Just a touch of love.” Don’t hate. I still love…
