Favorite Things

What a week! Anyone else relived we are almost to the weekend? I’m finally recovering from whatever bug I had acquired at the beginning of the week. Also, last minute planning an anniversary trip for G and I for next week. Thinking maybe a spontaneous trip to Disney World because we have NEVER BEEN. I’m getting excited. Anyway, here’s some…

While wandering around the grocery store the other day, I saw a sale on mangos and thought that it would be a perfect time to transition into those spring/summery tasting meals now…

21 Day {Added} Sugar Fast – Week 2

Health

Made it to week 2! I’m feeling REALLY good. For the most part I’m not craving a lot of sugar. G, on the other hand, was exhausted on day 8. While I felt like I was withdrawing on like day 2, he made it through a whole week before it hit him like a truck. If you’re new here, or…

21 Day {Added} Sugar Fast – Week 1

Health

This is a food challenge that I foolishly believed would go much smoother than it actually did (in the beginning at least). G and I eat relatively healthy– or I like to think– but we definitely believe in moderation. Obviously some days we really give ourselves TOO much grace, but for the most part I think we are pretty good….

Steel Cut Overnight Oats

Food

Today I am sharing one of my favorite breakfast meal prep ideas: overnight oats! But these might be MINORLY different from the regular overnight oats you’re used to, because I use steel cut oats! I absolutely love oatmeal. I literally ate it EVERY DAY in college (almost made myself sick of it lol) but somehow I still enjoy it. I…

24 Things I’ve Learned in 24 Years

Most people think I’m a bit older– hopefully because of my personality and the fact that I’m married rather than my appearance lol I figured I would make a list of 24 things that life has taught me thus far. Some of these things are fairly recent because I’m…

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
