Black Friday deals helped us save BIG on prep for Baby H, from the Pottery Barn rocker I shared on my Instastories that was (mis)marked down to $300 over the weekend to the new camera for capturing all of our little girl’s moments to a pack n’ play at a fraction of the original price. …
Quick Pasta Meal Prep
Anyone else struggle with finding the time on a Sunday to meal prep? I’d far rather spend the time with my hubs and my pups, prepping for baby and enjoying our last few months of time as a family of 3 (5 if you count the pups). After last week, though, it was a necessity. …
Recap: Eggland’s Best IG Takeover
On Tuesday, I had the amazing opportunity to takeover the Instagram pages of one of my favorite companies, Eggland’s Best. I’ve shared before about the ways that Eggland’s Best Eggs are better than ordinary eggs – they have 6x more vitamin D and 10x more vitamin E, among other benefits. We go through a minimum of…
Make-ahead Southwest Breakfast Burritos with Eggland’s Best Eggs
This post is sponsored by Eggland’s Best Eggs. Usually, my husband and I both travel Monday to Thursday for work – welcome to a two-consultant household! My travel has been scaled back a bit recently with new clients that prefer to do work remotely. Talk about a huge relief when you’re 3 months pregnant…
The Basics of Flying With Food
It’s October and I’ve already flown nearly 90,000 miles aboard 75+ flights – and the travel isn’t letting up anytime soon. When I’m on the road that much, eating out every meal really isn’t sustainable. It’s hard to guesstimate my macros and my sodium intake soars. Traveling with my own food from home has become…
We’re Expecting!
I am beyond thrilled to announce that the hubs and I are expecting our first little one in April 2018. To be honest, the whole thing came as a bit of a shock to us. I had been told by numerous doctors over the years that I may never be able to have biological children. It wasn’t…
Must-have Camera Accessories for Travel
I’m still in awe of the trip we were fortunate enough to spend three weeks in Africa for our honeymoon. Capturing every moment while we were there, not knowing when or if we’d get to go again, was so important to us. But, we had to deal with a HUGE weight constraint. 30 pounds a…
High Carb Day: Pizza done right
The point of the IIFYM lifestyle is to hit your goals in a healthy way – no deprivation and never having to say no to your favorite foods. Everything in moderation, y’all. The hubs hopped on the macro bandwagon a few months ago with the help of our amazing coach, Ashley, the owner of Grit…
Pomegranate Sorbet Cocktail
Who loves a fizzy drink on a Friday night? This girl. I had some Arctic Zero in the freezer for way too long and have been searching for ways to mix in their low carb, protein ice creams to “healthify” some of my favorite treats. Immediately my mind went to a sorbet cocktail. Fizzy, fruity,…
Competition Bikini Fabric Pattern and Color Options
Whether you’ve decided to make your own competition bikini or are purchasing one from a company, it all starts with choosing the right fabric for you. I previously shared why 4 way stretch is so important and 3 rules for choosing a competition fabric. Today, we are building on that advice and showing you specific patterns…
Cutting Out Your Competition Bikini Top
The feedback on our DIY Competition Bikini series continues to amaze and overwhelm me. When I started making my first suit two years ago, I struggled to find anything about how to get it done, so I just kinda made it up. This pet project – to create a resource that enables even an amateur…
Restaurant Guide: Macaroni Grill
Here’s my regular dilemma: I’m traveling through an airport around dinner time. I’m not in Atlanta or Dulles (you win the food game, ATL and IAD!). I could grab a grilled chicken sandwich from a fast food restaurant, but I really want dinner. A sit down, waste time while waiting on a delayed flight dinner. Chicago O’Hare…
