an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
We have three fridges in our house/garage – it’s a bit ridiculous. However, we fill most of the space at various times of the year. Between sales and living 45 minutes from a Sam’s, CostCo, or Whole Foods…yep. We stock up! The fridge in the basement is filled with a lot of refrigerator pickles (I…
This week was my third week of full-time work after maternity leave and to be honest, I’m running ragged. Mark’s work schedule (while temporary) has him gone from 6:30am until close to 8pm. Piper is still getting up twice a night to nurse (though she’s STILL on a nursing strike during the day 🙁 )…
When I’m up in the middle of the night nursing the baby, I often goof around on my phone. I’ll peruse Pinterest, check out Instagram, poke around Facebook…check the weather, you know, whatever. Last night when I was up (several times…), I checked the weather at one point to see that it’s going to be…
Last night was my first real “test” on Whole30. While it’s not easy to eat Whole30-compliant, social situations have got to be the biggest struggle. All that said, my office has been void of all things candy/cake/cookie/chocolate/Panera since Christmas – and that’s rare in healthcare (even diabetes!). Drug reps are notorious for bringing “the good…
Day 10 in the books – woo! This Whole30 thing hasn’t been too bad. We haven’t had the challenge of eating out, so that’s helped. We’ve been trying lots of new recipes and several have been from the Whole30 Cookbook that my sister-in-law got us for Christmas. You know me and cookbooks – love’em. In…
I want to do a post after these 30 days on what I think about Whole30 – the good, the bad, the ugly (in case anyone cares!). But one of my biggest takeaways thus far is that there’s a lot of cooking involved…if you don’t want to eat boring, bland food. ANOTHER meal of grilled/baked…
I got out of bed at 8:45am today. I can’t remember the last time I slept in (mind you, this was after wake-ups to nurse the baby at 12:45am and 5:15am) and I enjoyed every second of it. Of course, upon rising, I asked Mark what time the baby got up – 7:30am! That child…
I can’t believe it has been a month since I rambled on and on about…life. Oh, who am I kidding? I always ramble about life, but not a dedicated post to such ramblings. I think we officially have a holiday hangover – work, snow, work, sleep,snow, repeat. You guys, the snow was blowing SIDEWAYS yesterday….
Day 4 in the books. Whole30 is going well, I must say. Somehow, someway, I’ve managed to make dinner every night this week while managing the whole evening routine by myself. The good news is that while Mark hasn’t been home for dinner, he’s happy to rewarm dinner and has given a thumbs up to…
