I’m on the road a lot for work. Eating healthy on the road is hard. Extra hard when you love food and you use food as a way to keep you entertained and/or you have a 3-4 hour drive. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately to make it work: Pack my lunch and snacks when IContinueContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road”

Mommy Review Monday: Batiste Dry Shampoo, Dark & Deep Brown
It took me a long time to break down and try dry shampoo, mostly because I always assumed it only worked for blondes.

Mommy Review Monday: Care.com for Finding Childcare

(Not so) Tall Tale Tuesday: What Makes a Great Mom
Today’s prompt for (Not so) Tall Tale Tuesday is: Write about the woman who has had the greatest impact on your life. This didn’t take more than a few seconds for me to know exactly who I’d write about- my Mom.

Thursday’s Thoughts: Â Like riding a bike
From my Five-Minute Journal, today’s quote was from Albert Einstein: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. Although this morning was the first time I’d heard this quote, I think it’s been something that I’ve always subconsciously tried to use in my life when things are a challenge.

Nursing Twins- Part 5: Nursing Two Older Babies
Clara and Kate are now 8 months old. It’s hard to believe…. Except for their nursing habits, which are much changed from the early days. Here’s what I’ve observed so far with nursing twins older than 6 months: They have more trouble focusing. They still fit on the nursing pillow in the football hold forContinueContinue reading “Nursing Twins- Part 5: Nursing Two Older Babies”
