If you don’t know what falafel is, you are missing out! One struggle many of us have as parents is trying to get enough good sources of protein into our children’s diets. If you are always thinking along the lines of animal proteins (chicken, beef, pork, etc), you may find yourself getting bored with the…
Dear Tanya and Adam, When I read about the beautiful display of love you showed for your daughter by tattooing your legs, it brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful gift to show your daughter that her birthmark makes her special and unique! As an adult woman who has a port-wine birthmark that covers…
Planks are great! They challenge your whole body- from your glutes to your shoulder. And they can be done in a variety of ways: one legged plank, side plank, and a forearm plank, just to name a few. The more often you plank and the longer you hold the plank for, the more it benefits…
Workout Wednesday: Straight Leg Lowers If you are looking for a way to really target your core (especially your lower abs), this exercise is great! Plus it’s fun to do (and your baby can even help you!). To get started, sit down on the floor with your baby seated on your lap, facing away from…

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays with family and friends. We had quite the eventful past week and a half. Joey turned one. We traveled to see all of our family for Christmas, welcomed our new adorable nephew, celebrated my other adorable nephew’s 5th birthday, rang in…

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!
