Freezer Meals

Last time I was pregnant I wasn’t very good at preparing meals in advance.  I wasn’t terrible – we had some leftovers in mason jars – but not a lot and nothing super organized.  This time around I tried to get my ducks in a row before sh!t hit the fan and we had TWO KIDS.  Starting back in December I planned a meal or two extra into each weekly menu and cooked it and froze it for the postpartum period.  In case anyone else is in the same boat (for yourself or another new mama)… Read more >

My heart is exploding with love and I just wanted to pop in to share the news… Our threesome is now a foursome.  🙂 And we could not be happier. This labor and birth was totally different than my first and was (to be concise) a dream come true.  I’ll be back at some point.  <3

On the left is perfectly grilled chicken (I… Read more >

Newest addictions

During my first pregnancy my love affair with Starbucks kinda fizzled out…I wasn’t drinking much caffeine and then once I was on maternity leave I had no reason (excuse) to swing by the ‘bux on the way to/from work.  Since then it hasn’t really picked up again because we are now completely decaf people (so lame) and most locations don’t keep decaf brewed.  Plus they got rid of my beloved Tazo chai tea (which is caffeinated, but I make exceptions for the content of it in a serving of tea).  Therefore, my options are decaf espresso or pour… Read more >
