Fall Fashion + {Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chowder}

Since losing over 50 pounds in the last year, my wardrobe has shrunk - both figuratively and literally!  It made getting the house ready to sell pretty easy: the walk-in closet was mostly empty.  But I really need some new items, desperately.  Since my mom was here to help me pack, she also took me (and Babycakes) shopping. ...

Beware and BE Aware: From Dream Home to Nightmare

Thank you for all your kind comments on yesterday's comfort food post.  Any disappointment with the house is just because I felt it was all working out so nicely, was such a perfect fit for our family, and was meant to be.  However, the overwhelming feelings right now are shock and awe and extreme thankfulness that we are not buying it.  And now I am ready to discuss why.  There is more to life than raising heal ...

Comfort Food + {Garlic Kale Chips}

New House! + {Strawberry Kale Smoothie} - HLTT10

So, in case you didn't see on Facebook, we got the new house!!  They accepted our offer and if all goes according to contract, we'll get the keys mid-November.  I am still amazed at the whole thing.  And by "whole thing" I mean: my life!  I am amazed at how everything is playing out.

Quick, Easy, and HEALTHY Toddler Meals

I don’t know about you, but I am always amazed at how much or how little Babycakes can eat, depending on the day. Some days I can’t refill her plate quickly enough. Other days it just sits there on her tray, untouched. As a new mom, I often fretted over this…wishing she’d take just a few more bites.
