Looking for Paleo Recipes? Click here!Nope, my blog didn’t get hacked. I really do have a Paleo Unicorn Poop Recipe here for you today. Before you either a) click away or b) have me locked up, I need to tell you that these are chewy little treats and not real unicorn turds. Sorry, but if I came across some of those, I’d be heading for the Smithsonian, not the keyboard. What’s more, they are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo goodies. Why? Because that’s how I roll. Well today anyway. So let me back up a little, because I’m sure a lot of you are wondering why on earth I’m writing about this. Ok, I’m sure no one is […]
Simple Living: 10 Reasons to Love Baby Wearing
Simple living and baby wearing are two things that go hand in hand for me. There are so many reasons why it’s been awesome for my family and I, and I wanted to share with you today my top 10 reasons why baby wearing makes life awesome! 1. Baby wearing means lots of snuggle time This one is my favorite, so it gets the number one spot! There is nothing sweeter than having a tiny baby blissfully cuddled up against you. Hmmm… Except maybe a sleeping toddler cuddled up against the back of your neck. I know mine isn’t big on cuddles, and when she falls asleep in the baby carrier, it’s selfies with the sleepy girl all over the […]
Easy Paleo Recipes: One Minute Butter Tarts
Although cooking is something I do enjoy, sometimes it’s all about easy paleo recipes around here. But easy food doesn’t have to mean boring food. Ok, sometimes, it is a little boring when all I can find are frozen peas that I can microwave, but the state of my kitchen isn’t usually so dire. I’m almost a little ashamed to share this recipe with you since it’s so simple, I’m not even sure it qualifies as a recipe, but it would be worse if I kept this yummy little secret all to myself. Are you ready? Here are my One Minute Butter Tarts! In a past life, I used to eat a lot of butter tarts. Like, every weekend. My favorites […]
Simple Living: Easy, Adorable Crochet Baby Beanie
Cooler fall weather means a simple living at it’s best for me: cozy sweaters, soup simmering in the slow cooker and crochet! Don’t get me wrong, I love to crochet any time of the year, but when the leaves change color, it’s like I have a biological urge to whip our my yarn and hooks! My favorite thing to crochet, by far, is baby hats. There are a few that I make over but today I want to share one in particular that is my absolute favorite. It’s a free pattern created by Betsy at The Dainty Daisy. I love it because it’s super easy to work up; I can crochet one of these in less than two hours. But most […]
Be fit but be kind to yourself
Since we’ve moved out to the burbs last year, I’ve spent a lot of time exploring all the great trails in our area, but I had yet to go for a run. With the crazy heat wave we’d been experiencing finally behind us, I thought I would get my first run in over two years under my belt this morning. After lacing up my shoes, grabbing my iPhone and doing a quick bounce test to make sure my sports bra was still functional (it was – yay!), I hurried up and left before I had a chance to change my mind about it. After a minute or two of walking, I picked up the pace to a jog and was […]

So, where on earth do you start now? Step 1 – Plan and then plan some more I’ve already mentioned that I’m totally in love with my Once A Month Meals membership, and I think that people are in two camps about this: 1.

8 reasons to love freezer cooking with Once A Month Meals
Anyone who has been pregnant or has hung out with a pregnant woman knows that they are magnets, MAGNETS I tell you, for advice. Some of it is good, some bad, and most of it is ignored. Today though, I am doing a PSA with some of the best advice that I received during pregnancy (which I conveniently ignored) that is just plain awesome whether you have kids or not. Get a bunch of good food in your freezer already! I can’t count the times that people would tell me, “you should really cook some things in bulk and freeze them for when the baby comes” and I just internally rolled my eyes at them (a great skill to master).

Back when I was pregnant with my first daughter a few years ago and in full-on, obsessive research mode, I quickly determined that there are A LOT of different types of cloth diapers. I’ve since had the chance to try quite a few of them. Here’s a rundown of what’s out there and the pros and cons that I discovered based on my experience.
