The center or an addition?

One of the books I’ve been reading about taking care of the baby after she arrives is Baby Wise. Baby Wise has mixed reviews, mostly because it focuses on more of a parent-directed feeding approach and schedule instead of child-directed approach to develop a routine. If you allow the child to settle into a routine,…

Just Fondue It

Hiiiii 😀 Happy Friday! Anything fun planned for this weekend? I pretty much disappeared from the earth yesterday (hardly tweeted or facebooked!)- I was under the weather, and so was Bella. I left the house to take her to the vet –she’s much better now- but spent 90% of the day crawled up on the…

Preg Workout Swap-outs

My body awareness is so different (and better!) than it used to be. I’ve had to really tune in and decide when I need to take breaks, when I feel great and should take advantage of it, and when I would feel better to get a little activity in, even if it’s something small (which…

For the past 4 years

You’ve been my #1 <3 You stuck with me while I finished out school, and supported me as I figured out what I’m supposed to do in my life, and I stuck with you while the military made our major life decisions. I didn’t get to see you quite as much as I’d like to,…

Focus On: The Tone It Up Plan

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of the Tone It Up girls. They’re super fun, don’t sell themselves out by pimping out phony diet pills or supplements, make great workout videos, and I secretly wish that they would adopt me 😉 Source They need a preggers girl on the team, right? Haha. About…

It’s not like pizza

I’ve been avoiding prenatal massages. It’s so unlike me, because usually I’d paid a stranger on the side of the road to rub my back, but prenatal massage seems like it would be like prenatal yoga: lame. I like to sleep facedown, elbows out, or on my back, and am destined to toss and turn…
