Mmmm. Wine. Yes, the pregnant lady had a few tastes of wine this weekend. Don’t judge. I had my first girls night out since we moved to Missouri! It was a much needed evening of great company, fabulous food and yummy wine. A couple of the girls organized this private, in-home wine tasting with PRP…
Healthy Kid Lunches: “Kebobs”
I have been brainstorming fun lunch ideas for the kids and threw these together this week. The kids loved them. I just put the big platter on the table and let them pick out what they wanted. It was funny to watch how my kids ate these. I told them one end was a little…

Chocolate Pudding Pops (aka Fudge Pops)
Popsicles. Who doesn’t have fond memories eating them as a kid? Push Ups, Rocket Pops, Orange Creme, basic Grape, Cherry and Lime, Fudgsicles….the list goes on. For some reason, I’ve had a strong desire to let me kids try some of my old time favorite popsicles- especially the chocolate pudding pop (aka fudge pop). When…
Healthy Back-To-School Lunches
Need inspiration now that the kids are starting back to school soon? My little guy starts his first Monday through Friday preschool this week. It will be the first time ever that he will be apart from me on a daily basis (it’s only 3 hours a morning but still will be a big change…
Spicy Lime-Cilantro Slaw
I successfully completed my week of going vegan and actually enjoyed it. I discovered some tasty new vegetarian dishes and was much more aware of what I was eating. On the other hand, I really missed the flexibility of my typical “diet” and of course sweets like my favorite chocolate chip cookies. We ended the…
Hummus & Avocado Veggie Sandwich
Meet my new favorite sandwich- it’s not just vegetarian, it’s vegan and it’s delicious. I am on day 4 of my week long adventure eating vegan.

Most of my personal family pictures are over at my family blog, but I do want to remember this time and what I’ve been doing the last 6 months (i.e. being pregnant). This was taken two weeks ago at 25 weeks. I haven’t been great about getting belly shots, but am going to try to…
