If you need to get back on track after a holiday full of eating rich, and possibly less-than-healthy meals and snacks, start fresh today with this easy recipe. Eggs are a delicious meal option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But sometimes, finding the time to prepare them can be a challenge. These easy breadless quiche…
Just a quick note to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year. Also, a very special happy 1st birthday shout-out to my little man Joey D. Thank you all for your support. I hope you continue to come back daily for recipe ideas, health and fitness tips, and…
I can’t believe Joey is turning the Big 0-1 this week! This year really flew by (well at times it felt like it was moving VERY slowly, but overall it went too fast!). As we get ready to celebrate his big day, I figured I would look back over the past year and reflect on…
Almost one year ago, at 7:53pm on Christmas Eve night, we welcomed our little Joey into the world. He was the best Christmas present we could ever ask for. However, whenever someone asks when his birthday is, it’s typically met with a response of “poor kid” or “oh no.” Sure having a Christmas birthday may…
I love to sleep. I almost always got my 8 hours of sleep before our baby was born (except during pregnancy- thanks heartburn). Because of that, I never really dealt with sleep deprivation before and didn’t know how it would affect me. Let’s just say, it wasn’t an easy adjustment. I have never been so…
Although Joey has, for the most part, been really good about trying new foods, lately he seems to prefer some textures to others. For instance, he loves carrots and broccoli pureed or baked into foods, but if you hand him a slice of the vegetable, he will pick it up, feel it for a while,…
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Ours was wonderful and Joey thoroughly enjoyed his first Turkey Day. He gobbled up turkey, stuffing, carrots, and mashed potatoes faster than I have ever seen him eat anything else! However, after multiple days of family celebrations, even though I tried to keep an eye on my…
Thanksgiving is here and I can’t wait to celebrate with our families! But I have to say, I’m a little sad when I realize that this is Joey’s last “first” holiday. I mean, technically I still feel like this will be his first Christmas since he was born Christmas Eve night (and we were in…
This title is rather misleading. I have no idea how to take the perfect picture of my baby in spite of many, many tries. My goal today was to get a festive Christmas picture of Joey to send out with our holiday cards. I stocked up on decorations at the dollar store, laid down fake…
Currently, Joey would much rather feed himself than allow anyone to spoon-feed him. Because of this, his food choices are rather limited at times. He isn’t yet able to feed himself from a spoon, so choices like purees, yogurt, and cooked grains like oatmeal are out. He does a great job picking up foods, but…
