Just before having my first baby, I entered into a season of "no." I was about to be a first time mom with a demanding full-time job and I knew I wanted some margin to figure out the rhythm of the stage of life I was about to walk in to. I stepped down from … Continue reading Saying Yes, Saying No, & Finding the Balance

My Favorite Kitchen Tools
I got a new air fryer yesterday. I immediately used it to make sweet potato fries for the kids then "fried" broccoli and then bacon. Wow. It was all so good! It was nice to use one tool for all three things (less clean up!). It also cooked much faster than a traditional oven. I … Continue reading My Favorite Kitchen Tools
Keto Friendly Taco Tuesday
I love a great taco. Eating fish tacos on flour tortillas mayyyy be one of the things I miss most from my carbaliscious days. But! Today, I had the best low carb taco I have ever had. That's a big statement, I know. Tonight's shredded beef tacos on a low carb tortilla was a winning … Continue reading Keto Friendly Taco Tuesday
You Do Deserve It!
Girls, this one's for you (but guys, I invite you to stick around too). I spent more than 12 hours in my car this week. It was as charming as you might imagine.

Depending on the length of our grocery list, we either ALL go in and take over the store (sorry Whole Foods) or I hop out of the … Continue reading Whole Foods Haul
What I Ate
I've been fairly flexible regarding my diet since Christmas and I'm yearning for the energy and clarity of ketosis, so this week, I'm working on getting back into it! I've had periods of ketosis since Christmas but they've been broken up by lots of cheating (#balance!). I am ready to get into a several day … Continue reading What I Ate
Bulletproof Coffee Recipes
There are many variations of Bulletproof Coffee (BPC). I like the classic recipe, as outlined in the Bulletproof blog, with added collagen. My husband likes to add a bit more to his BPC in order to increase the caloric value. He has trouble keeping weight on and wants to make sure to not lose weight … Continue reading Bulletproof Coffee Recipes
