Chunky Tahini Granola + Not Wanting To Be A “Mom”
Recently I was with a group of women, and we each had to write down ten words that described ourselves. As we went around the room and read our lists, every woman that had children had “mom” as their number one answer. I was last to read my list, and when I did…I didn’t have the word “mom” […]
The Whole Work Balance + Motherhood Thing (Part One)
Last week I received a note from a woman struggling with how to balance her career with motherhood. She asked for my thoughts and also encouraged me to write a post about it here. I was a little hesitant at first, because I’m still figuring it out. But then again, we’re all figuring it out…so why not share what I’ve […]
Overcoming The Fear Of Motherhood
Almost one year ago, I met my son for the first time. It’s so wild to think that it’s only been one year, because it feels like I’ve known him my whole life. But that day, while I was waiting to meet him, I had so many questions swirling in my head… What would he […]
Chocolate Crispy Ice Cream Sandwiches + Taking A Mombatical
Before we get to the cookies, a little programming note. No Friday post this week, because I’m taking a Mombatical. Yes, it’s a made-up word for a sabbatical for a mom. This Mombatical thing was something that D and I agreed upon way before our babe arrived. One of my biggest fears of having a kid was not […]
Open Adoption & What That Means On This Mother’s Day
As D and I started the adoption process, I was on board for everything that was about to happen… A baby that might not look like us? Totally cool. The uncertainty of knowing when that baby might come? No rush. Doing lots of paperwork? I love filling out forms! But then the whole “open adoption” topic came up, and […]
How To Make Homemade Baby Food
Lil Sid is a beast when it comes to food. If there were some sort of baby competitive-eating circuit, he’d totally crush in the 6-9 month division. The guy was drinking 13 0z of milk at 4 months old. And now that he’s eating solid foods, it’s gone next-level. Yesterday, he ate an entire avocado in one sitting. […]
On Never Wanting To Be Pregnant
Have you ever told someone that you never want to be pregnant? If you haven’t, give it a try and see just how strongly some people react. You’ll be hard pressed to get a “that’s cool” or “thank you for sharing” and call it a day. People will tell you that you just don’t understand how incredible […]
One Part Parent: How To Make Baby’s First Cereal
So, I decided to include some baby/kiddie stuff on the site – recipes, my favorite finds, and things I’m learning as I go. I’ve been getting a lot of questions via email and social media about raising a planty baby, so I thought it might be cool to share a little bit about it here. This […]
He’s Here.
So…I have a baby. He’s been home for a little over two months now. And to be totally real, I was little hesitant of posting photos of him here. For one, I didn’t want you to think that this was going to become a baby site. Nothing wrong with a good baby blog, but I […]
