Juicing Recipes - Ultimate Juice Recipe Resouce

Hi, guys!  As a (pseudo) entrepreneur, healthy living blogger, and mom, I often receive questions about how I “do it all.” The answer you would expect might include things like: “I have an assistant!” “I work on the weekends!” “I meditate for 10 minutes!” But the truth is, my response doesn’t include any of the above (although I’m not saying those things don’t work). In fact, when asked how I do it all, all of the time, my answer is: “I don’t.” Actually… “I don’t at all.” There was a time, however, when I tried to, and I was miserable. Miserable . I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, splitting hours between CNC, DTFN, and NHS – all while trying to fit in time with family and friends, being a mom, and, you know… sleeping. I was certifiably “busy,” perhaps the busiest I’ve ever been – but despite how “important” I felt, I definitely wasn’t happy. In fact, I was stressed out, anxious, and experiencing adverse health effects, like eczema . WTF?  De...

Hi, guys! Mal and I had quite the fun afternoon together. Hooray for summer day dates! 🙂 The nice folks from Abby Park in East Milton Square (the same owners as Novara , which we LOVE) invited us for lunch, so we were more than happy to take them up on their offer! Back in the day, when Mal and I lived right near East Milton Square, we used to walk to Abby Park for their “Appy Hour,” which is half priced appetizers (Monday – Thursday, 3-6pm), which we were glad to see that they still have today. If we lived closer, we would definitely frequent Abby Park. The bar area is so fun! Before we walked into the restaurant, I asked Mal to snap a photo “for the blog” (#bloghusband). It was super sunny outside, and I forgot my sunglasses, so we just could not get a good photo. The whole situation was funny and ridiculous (blog life is so weird), so I just had to share – and, hey, OOTD! 🙂 Drinks to start – cheers! Then, we shared the Mediterranean Plate, which was served with hum...

So, I was NOT up and at ’em this morning. Meh. I usually set my Fitbit Versa for 5:01 during the week to wake up before my boys to get some work done, but I slept through my silent (vibrating) alarm. Ugh, sleeping through an alarm is so not like me, but I guess I really needed the sleep. Even Murphy was surprised that I slept so late. Usually, he has his breakfast promptly at 5:05 AM, but it was past 7:00 AM by the time I fed him. Doesn’t he look like he was wasting away? Poor pug. Once I fed Murphy, it was iced coffee time. Woohoo! I really look forward to this part of my morning! 🙂 Recently, I’m mixing my morning tumbler with vanilla Ripple milk and collagen . I like the Ripple because it tastes delicious, mixes well with iced coffee and collagen, has 8g plant-based protein per serving, Omega-3s, and more calcium and iron than dairy milk. Fancy, right? LOVE! Latest Videos I worked for a little while and then heard Quinn’s bedroom door open. The tiny human was awake...

Word on the street is that first time moms are nervous about giving birth because they don’t know what to expect, and second time moms are equally as nervous because they DO know what to expect! After my water broke with Mazen…waiting for contractions to start with acupuncture I am reaching the point of pregnancy where I am starting to realize that my baby is going to have to come out one way or another. It’s kind of a paralyzing feeling because there is no easy way out. I felt a heel or knee the other day – some kind of limb – from the outside and it was HUGE! (I also know that when I am *hopefully* 39.9 weeks along I will laugh that I thought the limb I felt at the end of the second trimester was “huge.”) MY OTHER RECIPES I would say in general I am much less nervous about labor this time around. That is partly because I know what to expect (although this birth could go in a completely different direction, I am aware.) But also because I am convinced that it will be short...

Soooooo, I’m still trying to figure out the cadence of the live blogging with the other content on CNC. Today’s weekend posts probably seem a bit out of order, but, hopefully, I can find a grove with publishing. Oy. Blogging life is not like it used to be! Anyway, this recap is actually from yesterday afternoon, so it’s not so “live,” but I’m working on it! 😉 #hotmess Lunch was a throw-together salad with all sorts of goodies from my Sunday food prep. During the week, I’d say 90% of my lunches look like this – I just throw together whatever is cooked and ready into a bowl and call it a meal. I’m definitely not fancy, but lunch is easy, quick, delicious, and nutritious. I love that I don’t have to think about it! After that, I got to work on a post about my OPEX experience. My partnership ended nearly a month ago, so the blog post is long overdue. I’m hoping to have it live on CNC next week. Please note (photo below): My weight (on the scale) went up more than a pound, but I lo...

Last Sunday, my mom, sister, and I enjoyed a fun outing together – just the 3 of us. We headed up to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for lunch and a show. Now that my sister and I have little ones, it’s tough for all of us to get together like we used to, but we made it a priority this time. When I discovered that my cousin Andrea was going to be in The Who’s Tommy at the S eacoast Repertory Theatre (thanks, Facebook), I immediately texted my family about going together. In high school, I was obsessed with Tommy. Obsessed . I owned the soundtrack from the musical as well as The Who’s album , posters in my bedroom, and I even rented the (super weird) movie version on VHS. I actually saw Tommy on Broadway back in the mid-90s as well as at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium and Northwestern University (an ex-boyfriend went there). Basically, my love for this musical runs deep, so when I heard that Andrea was going to be Mrs. Walker (one of the main characters), I could not miss it! Our...
