Easy Cream of Chicken and Mushroom Soup (Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Since we came back from our trip to New Zealand and I finally worked up the courage to put 17-month old Emma to sleep without her woombie (a loose swaddle), we have been sleeping in 2 hour increments all night. It’s been rough in this house and I am looking at a looming deadline of […]

“Are you gathering twigs together?”, asked my husband when I mentioned my urge to clean and organize this week. It is that time in every woman’s pregnancy when you just go into this mode to prepare for the new arrival. I don’t really have anything ready but this is not my first rodeo so I’m […]

I have a confession to make. My husband is not a big seafood fan (aside from fish) so many seafood dishes you see on my blog end up being all eaten by me… and not always in more than one seating 🙂 As adverse as he is to things like shrimp and lobster, on the […]

This is my third baby and I can’t for the life of me remember at what point I should be have the baby’s clothing, sleeping space and hospital bags ready. At this point if Michael Jr arrives, he is going to snooze in a drawer wearing some pink onesies. At least he will have diapers. […]

I read this article about Yahoo! CEO, Marissa Mayer’s No-Work-From-Home policy change for the organization and it does nothing to change my view of them and their value to my life. I remember when Yahoo! was cool back when I was a young ‘un in college. But it never kept up with the world in terms […]

How many days do you get to come home from work and use an epic movie one-liner like this?   Technically, the fish came from the store but I’ll take it because it was quite funny when my husband delivered this line tonight. Find yourself a nice whole fish that has been scaled, gutted and […]

I had my 30 week checkup today and this baby is growing like a weed. I passed my glucose tolerance test I mentioned a few weeks ago in this post. The OB also congratulated me on passing my anemia test because he said it is very common for people to fail this one. It gave […]

  I’m back from my New Zealand holiday! I sure missed my kitchen and I don’t ever want to see the inside of an airplane again for a loooooong time. Imagine sitting in Economy with a giant third trimester belly and a 22 lb toddler lying on you for 12 hours… it isn’t pleasant. The […]

My American husband and I of  varied cultural heritage (all of which speak the Queen’s English), both identify ourselves as English-speakers. But that doesn’t always mean we speak the same language. While I have learned to use spell-check to maintain American English on my site, there is no such feature for what comes out of […]

Today I did the one-hour glucose screening test for gestational diabetes. I had to drink a bottle of this nasty stuff and I felt sick for hours afterwards. I haven’t had a carbonated sugary drink in months, maybe years since I didn’t drink sodas pre-Paleo. This was like a Fanta but so sweet my teeth […]
