Boy do I have a treat for the Mama’s out there today! Over the past year, I have gotten to know Tanya, a wonderful kind-hearted, hard-working entrepreneur who has her own doula business. Tanya actually assisted in Dash’s birth! To be honest, I knew very little about doulas before meeting Tanya, and I’m going to […]

My Pregnancy Fitness Reviews
I’ve been really “off” when it comes to blogging and writing lately. All this focusing on the new baby and my physical and mental health has put writing on the back burner, which is really unfortunate because it has been a big part of my mental healing process. Plus, I just love talking to you […]

Coping With Anxiety While Pregnant
I am 31 weeks pregnant…31 weeks! This second pregnancy is flying by and I am happy to tell you that since my very open and honest post about how I REALLY feel about this pregnancy, things have gone smoothly. My anxiety has been mostly kept at bay, and thanks to a busy mom/blogger life I […]

How I REALLY Feel About My Second Pregnancy
When I found out I was pregnant with Luna, it was near impossible to keep the news a secret. In fact, I told my sister-in-law, my co-workers and an entire NYC bar before I was able to fly to Nashville to tell my Husband. I also told at least 100 of our “closest” friends and […]

I’ve always had very high anxiety, so I just assumed it would be a little extreme after having a baby, with all the crazy hormones and whatnot. I did not ever think I’d […]

Postnatal Workout Update
Alright, we did it. We completed the first 5 weeks of Focus T25, the “alpha” round, as it’s called. I have eaten healthier, not exactly healthy all the time, but healthier. In fact, didn’t eat any chips, except while we were in Texas. But, how can anyone go to the land of Tex-Mex and not eat […]

Peek-a-boo!
I have mentioned before that dressing for breastfeeding has proven to be far more challenging than dressing for pregnancy. During my pregnancy, I could wear most of my clothes for the majority of the 9 months. Thankfully loose flowing tops and leggings are in style! I bought a few cute pieces and my sister gave me […]

New Friend Friday: Meet Sia!
I’m starting a new series today called “New Friend Friday”. I have a few friends who write their own great blogs, and feel like I’ve made a few virtual friends through other blogs I follow. That’s one of my favorite things about blogging… getting a look into others’ lives, learning from them and sharing stories […]

My Postnatal Eating Plan
I spent way too much time in high school dieting (i.e. starving myself) to “diet” as an adult. Truth is, I grew up and learned how unhealthy I was as a teenager (skinny does not equal healthy) and learned that eating real and healthy food is much better than no food at all. I began […]

The Last 9 Months
I’m 3 weeks and one day postpartum and still feeling better every day. Yay me! I just went through some of my old photos from throughout my pregnancy and it’s amazing to see the transformation from then until now. I loved being pregnant! I had such a great pregnancy that I thought I’d be sad […]
