Happy FriYAY y’all!
What’s going on in your neck of the woods?
I love teaching because I get that feeling I got as a student when a new semester starts. Even though that doesn’t affect the other work I do (blogging, seeing clients), the sense of refresh is nice! Or maybe it’s that I hired a wonderful new sitter, and so I’m not scrambling, at least as much anymore. This week, KJ also went back to preschool, which was SO GOOD for him. I know he missed his teachers and his friends while he was out.
This weekend we need to take down our Christmas decorations. That is priority numero uno. Is anyone else out there with Christmas decor still hanging out? What once felt full of holiday spirit and so fun at the beginning of December now looks like a bunch of junky clutter.
I’ll also likely be publishing a new recipe this weekend, so look out for that! I previously had a rule for myself that I’d post only in the mornings and only on the weekdays. So that meant if my content wasn’t done by noon one day, I’d save it to post the next day. This rule ended up causing huge gaps and ultimately delayed the amount of content I could produce in a week. So this year, with my goal of 100 new recipes here at HH, I’m letting go of those self-made rules. Email subscribers who get the daily posts (versus weekly round-up subscribers) will likely see posts come through at all random times of the day. I will try to avoid double publishing in one day because I’m not trying to flood your inbox. But, hopefully, it won’t be too annoying if posts come through at random times and occasionally on the weekend!
Meal plan subscribers, your meal plan is in your inbox! It’s a yummy one!

Half Of A New Table
Ordering things nowadays is so much fun, right? We got half of our new Basque table from Crate and Barrel. The four remaining chairs and cushions will come sometime at the end of February. So far, I love the table with our new Ruggable rug underneath.
I’ve never had a rug under a table before. I’m hoping the washable rug makes it feasible because it looks nice! The table that was in this space before was purchased from the previous homeowners, and it was GINORMOUS. I shoot my recipes on a folding table next to the window and was often having to push the giant table out into the hallway to get enough room. Now, I have significantly more room to work. I can’t wait till the rest of the table gets here!
Note the Christmas Decorations that need to GOOOOOOOOOO LOL
Daily Harvest
I know I mentioned these last week, but Mr. Hungry and I tried the Harvest Bakes this week, and they are SOOOO good! Such an easy way to amp up your veggies and flavor with any dinner protein!
Yama Sushi House
This may be our new favorite sushi spot! It has a nice mix of delicious raw rolls and cooked rolls to appease Mr. Hungry and me! The Hot Night Roll was my favorite!
Smoothiebox Deal – $22 Off
My beloved Smoothiebox is currently offering $22 off your first box! Hop on that while you still can friends! We drink them for breakfast and for lunch, almost every day. When we run out I’m kind of lost ha ha, kidding, not kidding.
Fitness
I almost finished the Expecting and Empowered postpartum guide! I think I have one more workout left, and that’s it. That’s crazy pants to me! I’m planning on doing a full review, but I 100% believe the guides helped me recover from pregnancy and childbirth better than I did with KJ from a pelvic floor standpoint. I had several postpartum challenges, including back/tail bone pain and an umbilical hernia that I know would have been much worse if it wasn’t for the guides.
And I’m up to being able to do three push-ups now, so that’s exciting. That being said, the E & E workouts generally take me a solid 45-60 minutes to complete, which feels like a lot. With KJ, I stuck to 30-minute or fewer workouts (usually on Aaptiv) until he was at least one. I worked out harder for a shorter amount of time, which worked well for me. So, while I know it’s incredibly valuable to follow a program with progressive overload (versus random workouts that give you random results), I’m excited for a little bit more flexibility in my workout routine!
