Preg Snack: Anchovy Mash
The experiences of being pregnant and breastfeeding changed my relationship with food in an amazing way. When I first began my weight loss journey quite a few years ago, I approached nutrition the same way I approach anything I want to learn more about: I researched as much as possible. I wanted to lose weight…

Can we just take a moment of silence for these pants? All I need are some of those curly gold shoes, a magic carpet and a ridiculously good-looking- oh wait, nevermind 😉 Instead of the blue tank, I’ll be wearing this: About that. We had practice for recital during lunch again today and it was…

Hi friends! It’s Gina 🙂 Lately, the Fashion page has been filled with posts from one of my favorite girls (and future sis-in-law), Meg. The plan was always to have her eventually take over the fashion page, since she has an amazing sense of personal style, but it wasn’t possible with her school schedule. Well,…

Pizza and wine… maybe one of the best combos ever. Hand me a pizookie and it would be my dream meal. Last night, we poured some wine, set out the supplies and made “his and hers” pizzas. The Pilot rolled with garlic and herb crust, marinara, pepperoni and cheese while I made mine with gluten-free…

This is a question I get pretty often. If you’ve been reading my blog since the early days, you know I wasn’t always stoked about the idea of having a baby. I knew I wanted kids eventually, but thought that being pregnant would be like having an alien inside of me (which is funny because…

Banana Almond Muffins
When was the last time you had a muffin? For me, it was when we had breakfast at Ventana. They have gluten-free breads and pastries – when I saw they had apple-cinnamon muffins, I was scary excited. I love muffins and always seem to forget about them when I’m at the store. When I’m baking,…

-First I thought that my husband holding a baby was dreamy, but wearing an Ergo just takes it to another level. -Babies in sunglasses = just about the cutest thing ever (They’re still a little too big, but it was fun to try them on and snap a photo) -We got a new printer. This…

Take it off
It was about time to go from this: (what I call my “witch hair” – too long and thick to manage) to this. I lost about 5 lbs in hair this morning. As much as I love the convenience of the messy bun, I’m so excited to be able to wear my hair down…
