Baby Registry Advice and Bumpdate: 26 Weeks Pregnant
Hello friends and happy fall! Can you believe it’s fall already? I’ve always deemed myself a “summer” girl. I enjoy the hot weather, outdoor dining, and social nature of summer. But man, at 26 weeks pregnant, this lady has never been MORE ready for sweater weather and legging season. For all you mamas out there that endure the 3rd trimester in the heat of the summer, I bow down to you. Speaking of which SIX MONTHS.

Changing of the Seasons: Dealing with Change
Happy summer friends! It’s been a hot minute (or few months?!) since my last blog, but I’m baaack with some fresh new content, new topics, and, of course, a few surprises. When I started blogging, I committed to you, and to myself, that this blog would remain authentic, raw, real, and beneficial for my readers. I won’t blog just to blog and I won’t blog if it doesn’t feel like my content is coming from a place of authenticity. Safe to say, I’m feeling inspired. Recently, I had a really great chat with one of the ladies in my group coaching session (Health Coach over here, in case you missed…

Soup Sunday: Butternut Bisque (Dairy-Free, Vegan)
Happy Sunday fam! I hope you had an amazing week and are ready to conquer the week ahead. Not sure about you, but as the weather starts to get chillier, my body craves a nice warm bowl of soup. In fact, Matt and I have a fall/winter ritual that we’ve so creatively named “Soup Sunday.” Given the time of year and my recent obsession with butternut squash, I decided to try making a butternut bisque.

This blog is going to be a little different. But, hang in there with me.

So today, I’m going to tell you about an OG mentor of mine…my Grammy. Today is Grammy’s 95th birthday and she looks amazing! Don’t worry, she’s not afraid to tell you that either.
