Friday Favorites: April 27th
A weekly roundup of the articles and recipes I’ve bookmarked, pinned or otherwise loved: Stumptuous has an article from Cassandra Forsythe (co-author of the New Rules of Lifting for Women) about The Benefits of Exercise During Late Pregnancy. We’ve all heard about how working out while pregnant can help prepare you for labor and make it easier to get your body back after birth, but I was surprised to read about all the benefits the baby receives. More exercise = easier, healthier baby? That’s the motivation I need to keep moving in the third trimester! Ok, I may not be...

The nasty stuff that might be in the...

Introducing a new segment: Friday Favorites, a round-up of the articles, recipes and whatnot I’ve loved or bookmarked this week! All Favorites are hand-picked by me and are not sponsored or endorsed in any way Virginia Sole-Smith’s post, Why Fit Is The New Thin discusses the abundance of so-called “fitspo” on Pinterest and other sites, and why it may be just as harmful as “thinspo”. I myself have a fitness inspiration board on Pinterest which features, among other things, photos of women with awesome, fit-looking bodies, and I’ve long wondered if...
Read MoreSmall Setbacks
In my previous posts about eliminating dairy from my diet, I was going on about how much the whole dairy-free lifestyle is a lot easier than I anticipated. Well, that’s over. After two weeks of cutting out dairy completely, I took a vacation with my husband’s family and decided I’d take that week off from being dairy-free; since we were all staying together (and cooking together) in one house, I didn’t want to have to make separate meals three times a day. Plus, I thought it’d be a good opportunity to test my theory that dairy is what’s triggering my...

As you’ve probably noticed, my blog has undergone a complete makeover! I decided to combine my two blogs into one, and I made the move to self-hosting, which I’m so excited about. So for the next few days please excuse the messy appearance of my site and any bugs you run into. I’m working day and night to get things polished and bring you a better layout. Please stay tuned!
