healthy food, lifestyle, travel, & everyday moments.
I’ve recently adopted a new habit: taking a quick walk around the neighborhood once the kids are in bed. I get the dishwasher running, tidy up the living room and head out just as the sun is starting to set.
It’s been bloody hot here lately, but I’m actually enjoying these warm, sunny summer days. I know–surprising given that one of the most popular posts on this blog is about how I hate(d) hot weather.… Read More »
It has been go go go here recently, ever since Eric’s parents visited in mid-May. We’ve had pizza nights and brunches with friends, my grandpa’s 80th birthday, wrapping up little E’s school year at the community center and SO many medical appointments.

Hellooo friends! Again it’s been so long since my last post in April! I want to start blogging (and reading my favorite blogs) again regularly, though. It’s such a fun little world that, while long past its heyday, will always have a place in my heart and be worthwhile to me.

I can always find something that needs to be put away, a phone call to make, etc but objectively, we handle our daily lives well enough.… Read More »
Happy Inauguration Day tomorrow! I’ll be 36 weeks in a couple of days actually. I haven’t updated in almost a month! It’s felt like a lot longer than a month unfortunately.
Honestly? I’m not doing very well. I hesitated to update at all because I tend to be someone who withdraws from friends, family, and the world in general when I’m struggling. I’m getting better about that though, and I wanted to have at least one more pregnancy update before I have this little guy.… Read More »
