As a new mama, I have learned – quickly – how important it is to have shortcuts in the kitchen. Whether I’m feeding Ellie, changing her diaper, changing her clothes because she had a poop explosion, getting us ready to go out, playing with her,...
Yay, a new baby! It truly is an amazing thing and one that will turn your world upside down in the best way possible. But in the process of taking care of baby and devoting all waking hours to him or her, we can easily become overwhelmed and experience a constant...
Yeah… that happened. Last week, to be exact. Ellie woke up every hour after she had gone to bed, which isn’t the usual for her, so we wondered what was up. Then, at 10:30, she woke up, rocked for a bit on her hands and knees, and then started throwing up....
Ah, snacks. You might have read my thoughts on them here, about how I don’t think they’re a great thing to have on the daily for the average jane. But, I believe that with the busyness of new mamahood, snacks are a very real, and often very necessary, part of our...

In a few days, my daughter is going to be 6 months old and I still can’t believe it. I’m currently reflecting on the fact that I. Am. A Mother. Like, what? And I get to say things like “my daughter”. Clearly, I’m still in the...
Need I say more? Didn’t think so. When creating recipes, I aim for simple, delicious, and healthy. And even though this is a treat, I say that each category still applies… yes, including healthy. But how can that be? While we do want to prevent blood sugar...
Oh, hey there. It’s me, Laura. I know I haven’t written in a while, but… here I am! Since my last post (in, ahem, November), my husband, Miguel, and I have moved into our new place… and we love it. Our kitchen has been getting renovated, and...
Ahhh, weight loss. That could’ve been a scream or a sigh; it depends on your thoughts on it on this particular day. Because it goes back and forth, right? One day we feel on top of the world and like we totally have this in the bag, and then the next…...
