My alarm went off at 5:50 am, I shut it off, ate half of the graham cracker in a box by my bed (to avoid nausea) and got up. After feeding Nala, and getting dressed, I ate two trail mix energy balls. Nala and I were out the door by 6:10 am. Nala and I […]
Hi, friends! I know last week was heavy on the pregnancy news, but now we should mostly be on an every other week schedule after this post. Week 14 Baby Size: Size of a Peach Symptoms: I had one day of the “magical second-trimester” energy and no nausea. But most days I was still struggling […]
Hi, friends! First up I have a few Giveaway winners to announce before we get rolling on the usual Friday fun! LeAnn H wins one box! How she tries to be a Health Warrior "I try to eat more veggies and eat fruit for snacks." Amy D wins another box! How she tries to be […]
Hello friends! How is your day going today? Mine is a little slow given I was out past my new bedtime of 8 pm wrapping up this year's Bible Study. I know, I am a REAL partay animal! What can I say? Speaking of parties, I was going through the blog looking for recipes to […]
So I had some MAJOR food aversions the first trimester (see the first-trimester recap here). I didn't crave things; I just found that things that were sour, citrusy, vinegary, salty, and bland were best. I did some research on this and found that our bodies are reacting on some deep evolutionary level. Food aversions protect […]
A quick healthy on the go snack that tastes like a handful of trail mix in cookie dough form! Healthy, filling, and tons of nutrients in every bite! Hi, friends! I'm just popping in to share with you these delicious energy bites I've been eating first thing when I wake up in the morning. I […]
Hi, Friends! Today I'm updating you guys on the first trimester. I started keeping track of what was going on around week eight so I have a little more detail from then on. Today's post is going to be massive. I thought about splitting it up, but I don't want baby/pregnancy posts to take over […]
First before anything, thank you so much for every single comment, message, DM, and email about our big news! The outpouring of support, cheers, high fives, and pure joy was more than this emotional mama could handle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart I appreciate it more than you could know! In case […]
I’m excited to be partnering with Tom’s of Maine for today’s post. This is a sponsored post but as always, all opinions are my own. Hi Friends! Today I’m super excited to be partnering with Tom’s of Maine to spread the word about their Turn the Tide Earth Month campaign! I will be honest, I […]
Hi, friends! More than a few of you have asked me about the changes I made to make pregnancy possible. I've gotten comments, emails, and DM's about it which makes me so happy because I'm so glad I can serve as a resource. It also makes me sad because I understand the struggle that comes […]

Mr. Hungry and I are expecting one Hungry Baby this October and we are BEYOND thrilled! I started keeping secret blogs about how pregnancy was going (tired, tired, tired) from week to week around 8 weeks, so I'll have first trimester recaps to share with you soon! Not sure how often I will share […]
Hello friends! I hate to disappoint ya but today is gonna be a SUPER short post. My workouts were not very impressive (aka non-existent) and I have no new fun food to report. I know totally lame! Hopefully, I'll have more to report next week! Fitness Friday I did a run/uphill walk on the […]
Hi, friends! Guess what? At the end of this post I have a little giveaway for you, don't miss it! On a side note, I planned to record Tuesday, but Tuesday was a messy, chaotic day. Do you have those days? Somehow I still managed to record enough of it to share, but anyway, […]
Hi, Friends! The last week or so I've had several people ask me about breakfast. Breakfast is often the last thing you think about when it comes to meal prep which is unfortunate because it leaves you scrambling the most important meal of the day. I ended up emailing them each five breakfast ideas, […]
Hi, friends! How was your weekend? Mine was full of lots of pool time and friend time! I swear, only in Arizona is it warm enough in APRIL to get in the pool. On Friday night my Mom came over, we ordered takeout from a pub down the street and watched Harry Potter and the […]
Thanks for your messages and comments yesterday! My strategies worked paired with a good night sleep and I am feeling much better! I plan to take it easy this weekend, get some time by the pool, finish the Harry Potter saga, and eat pizza. All the good stuff! Before we get to the usual Friday […]
Yesterday wasn't the worst day in the world, just a bad day. I could go on and on and on about the things that didn't go my way, but it really doesn't matter. What matters is how you turn those days around right? I'll be honest I never fully turned my whole day around, but […]
Last week, I shared in my Friday Favorites post a podcast that my SIL sent me that really made me think about my experience as an only child. So I thought I'd share some of those with you today. I think only children often get a really bad rep, and like any stereotype, I think […]
Hi, friends! Last year I spent a significant amount of time creating one pan recipes, which I had the best time doing! Personally, I hate doing dishes, it's the worst part about being the main cook in the house and definitely about food blogging. I hate the whole thing, I hate washing them but I […]
