Did a little better this week with the no-sugar plan. I’m actually still doing really well avoiding sugar at home. I had my dinner party on Friday, and it was a huge success! I’ll have recipes this week for what I served, including the flourless chocolate cake that was my planned cheat day. Unfortunately,...
4 Tips for Creating Balance as a Work-From-Home Mom
A former coworker sent me a message on Facebook recently, saying that she’d heard from a mutual friend that I “had it all together” when it came to finding a work/life balance as a work-from-home mom, and she wanted to chat about how I do it. I nearly spit my coffee out all over...

Mushroom Hunting in the Rain
It had been raining on and off for about two days. Baby and I hadn’t been able to get out of the house much, and it was starting to show. I found an excuse for us to go out via a trip to the library and the bank. The library didn’t have what I...
