I’m a big advocate of making fitness a priority during pregnancy. I have several reasons, the biggest probably being how it improves the way I feel while pregnant. It’s not just me who feels this way – doctors now encourage women to stay active and a lot of research shows that physical activity (in moderation of […]

A great phrase isn’t, it? It was pretty much my mantra a couple of weeks ago. Between writing posts and cooking for the blog, freelancing, nesting (I’ve been cleaning our house like crazy), keeping up with running, carrying a 3+ pound child in my uterus and planning and executing our daughter’s birthday party, I began […]

It’s national French fry day! If our daughter knew what food holidays were, this would absolutely be one of her favorites. Fries are her best friend. I’m not joking. We have to hide them whenever we make them or eat out to ensure she’ll eat the rest of her meal. She’s a very dedicated fry […]

Our baby girl turned two yesterday and what a second year it’s been! While preparing a picture banner for her birthday party, my husband and I couldn’t help but think how much she’s grown inside and out over the past year, and we both agree that she’s at such a fun age. The difference was […]

My husband and I recently took a trip to Newport, RI, a quaint, coastal town about an hour and a half outside of Boston, and we had the greatest time together. It was a breath of fresh air to spend time just the two of us, and I can’t thank both of our parents enough […]

I’m now two-thirds of the way through my pregnancy – what in the world?! I truly don’t believe it. It seems like just yesterday I held that positive test in my hands and walked straight over to my husband with tears in my eyes. The past 12 weeks have been better than I thought they […]

As I mentioned in my last post, we went strawberry picking this past weekend at Stade’s Farm and Market. It was such a fun summer activity to do together as a family – I’m hoping to make it a tradition at the start of each summer. Not only was it enjoyable, but the strawberries we […]
