Weeks 0-12

[written on 7/31/12, at the beginning of the 13th week] Honestly, the reason I didn’t blog about being pregnant for the first trimester is because I’m extremely paranoid. You never know what can happen in those early weeks and being a nurse made me overly cautious (ignorance is bliss…I still had my maternity books…not good). But beyond that, I knew I was seriously sparing you all from some really not good stuff. Cabo was an interesting vacation, for lack of a better word. I had quite a bit of nausea and my energy level was… Read more >

2 and counting…

It’s been two years since Kyle and I celebrated our love in front of our closest family and friends. And since then my love for him has only grown and grown. I know I’m very blessed to have found my soul mate. My life is so full. I never thought it could get better. But it’s about to get so so much better. 🙂 Our family is growing. **This ultrasound photo is a month old. I’m 16+ weeks now (almost half way!). I’ve been anxiously waiting to tell you all.

Vegetarian snack ideas

Now that Kyle’s bringing his lunch to work – and he’s vegetarian – I’ve been trying to get creative with snack ideas. While I’m content eating the same things day after day, he’s not. Guess what he’s finally sick of? Clif bars. I never ever thought the day would come (check out the photo below for a reminder of his love affair). That goes for all kinds of bars. So I’ve been brainstorming things that are healthy, nutritious, tasty and interesting. And I decided to start a master list. I’m sure there are moms out… Read more >

Nutty pasta

Pasta!! I made this over a week ago, but the recipe is still worth sharing. Although “recipe” may not be the right word, since it’s a pretty loose formula. But I made the effort to photograph it, so dang it, I’m gonna freakin’ share it. Roasted nuts – brazil, pecans, cashews, almonds Basil Parsley Garlic infused olive oil Plain almond milk Nutritional yeast Sorry for the lack of measurements, but I was kinda playing mad chemist, throwing things in until I got the right amount. Unlike my previous pesto, this was a really thick one…. Read more >
