Oh man, when I think about those early days as a mom and how much I was struggling, how much I was in survival-mode, it brings tears to my eyes. And I guess it wasn’t actually just the early days, but intermittently throughout Stevie’s little life. I have always taken the challenges head on, but…
Making: coffee. Cooking: quinoa and black beans constantly. Drinking: the biggest green tea that Starbucks offers. Reading: Max the Brave every night. Wanting: clogs. Looking: old and tired. Playing: 90’s jams Wishing: away my wrinkles. Positive thinking has to count for something right? Enjoying: when Stevie wants to go to the train park. It’s weird,…

This is kind of long, but if you are interested, I want to start at the beginning and tell you guys a little about why I decided to cut back on sugar and start a healthier lifestyle. I have been cheerfully chubby or pleasantly plump most of my adult life. A BMI calculator would have…
Dear Sugar, This is hard for me to say. So I’ll just be very honest with you. It’s time you and I parted ways. Listen, you were good while things lasted. Great, even! I felt like you were what kept me going during the day. I felt like you were my reward for the challenges…
