Simple, Colorful Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Food

To be honest, now that we are entering fall, it doesn’t quite seem appropriate to share this Mediterranean orzo salad with y’all! This chilled orzo salad is so tasty and colorful, so it feels like more of a summer dish. But considering it doesn’t actually get cool here in Charlotte until later, it’s basically still late summer here. Plus this…

Theo’s Nursery Tour

Home· Motherhood

After writing my recent post about the DIY Giant Ruler Wall Art, I decided that I should probably share some photos of Theo’s nursery. The idea was to do with a jungle animals theme, but to keep it relatively minimal and simple overall. It all started with finding this cute jungle animals mobile, and we kind of went from there!…

Amazon Home Finds – Part 2

Amazon Hauls· Home

One of my most dangerous habits I’ve developed since having my son is Amazon shopping at 3 am while breastfeeding 🙂 I just happen to stumble upon awesome finds at that hour and also ending up ordering (too much) stuff that I think we need/would be helpful/look good in the house! Some of these items I have ordered myself already,…

Easy Roasted Tomato Sauce Using Fresh Tomatoes

Food

This year our garden yielded a lot of tomatoes. I mean a LOT of tomatoes. And honestly, it’s by accident! We had been throwing tomatoes scraps into our compost and we think that some of the seeds from the scraps survived and germinated in our garden beds this year. We have heirloom tomatoes growing (those were actually intentionally planted by…

DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈 This is a DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈
This is a great project to use up fabric scraps and an old bed sheet with no sewing machine required.
You will need an iron, fabric, fabric scissors, a printer, Heat N Bond, and hem adhesive. Hopefully this tutorial is helpful to anyone trying to make a similar birthday banner without sewing experience. It’s fun to make and I love knowing that we can use this banner for all the birthdays to come! 🥹❤️ #whimsy #birthdaycrafts #toddlermom #whimsicalchildhood

Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while preg Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while pregnant, parenting a toddler, and trying to maintain a carb-conscious diet is not for the weak! Here’s what I ate in a day pregnant: SICK EDITION 🤧 my dietician had told me back with my first pregnancy that your blood sugars are going to be naturally higher when you are sick, so if you are checking blood sugars while sick and with gestational diabetes, it may be harder to keep them in range. Take care of yourself and try your best ❤️ #pregnant #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic
The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so th The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so thankful, but also I cannot LOOK at raw meat, I’m googling everything, and this baby might be 90% French fries from the 1st trimester 🤪 but my 1st trimester was soooooo much easier this time than with my first! #pregnancy #pregnancyhumor #pregnant

Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy with my son, I’m being carb-conscious while I wait to take my glucose test at about 24 weeks pregnant. I’m roughly following the guidelines I was given back in 2022, but obviously not monitoring blood sugars at this time since I don’t officially have a diagnosis at this time. Hopefully this gives you some meal and snack ideas if you are being carb-conscious or have gestational diabetes! #gestationaldiabetes #pregnancy #whatiatetoday
I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy, so once I found I was pregnant with my second child, my doctor asked me to go ahead and be “carb-conscious” and try to roughly follow the diet while I wait to do my glucose test at ~24 weeks. 
Since I’m not checking my blood sugars rn, I’m trying my best to count carbs, adjust my portions, and make low-carb swaps where I can, with the knowledge that IF I get a diagnosis this pregnancy, I may have to adjust this diet further to reach my blood sugar goals. I’m also  trying to make my diet as nutritious as possible for myself and baby but in a realistic way! #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic #pregnancy
