Barefoot Dreams cardigan, Barefoot Dreams pajamas (last photo), Barefoot Dreams socks (last photo), Zella yoga pants, nursing tank, swaddle blankets, headboard, pillowcases Let me tell you about life postpartum: it’s an out of body experience. No matter what you cared about prior to this baby, your priorities move aside and instinct kicks in; all you care about […]
Do you know what’s worse than a teething baby? Well, actually a lot. Scratch that–teething toddlers are FUSSY. My little #babyharrystevens is having a helluva time with his canines that are erupting (vampire teeth as I like to call them, as they’re pointy). I don’t love giving him unnecessary sugar so I quickly made him […]
I grew up eating my mom’s granola. Nothing compares–it’s been my favorite for decades. However, I tried a co-workers granola and when she told me it was paleo, I couldn’t believe it. It was crunchy, nutty, coconut-y–pure deliciousness. How could there not be grains in it? Well, I immediately googled and decided to make my […]
Remember when I used to post recipes? (favorites here, here and here) I actually still cook–and often, at that. When I would post recipes, I’d take pictures along as I cooked and baked. Nowadays, when I get home from work I’m in such a rush that I just don’t think to snap photos. I’ll figure […]

I was married in Sayulita, Mexico, where peonies are scarce; being that it was my big day and that they are my favorite flower, I had the florist import them from Columbia. (I have no […]
Don’t worry–I won’t be turning this into a mommy blog, BUT the first-time mom in me knows it’s inevitable that I show off a few pictures of this sweet, little nugget. My friend, Marena, is an awesome family photographer here in Chicago, so if you’re ever in need of professional photography be sure to check […]
I know, I know, green smoothies are all the rage and I admittedly partake in the trend, almost daily. But sometimes, it’s good to shake things up. I had a bunch of blackberries that I had to use immediately and I’ve read that people use avocados in lieu of bananas in smoothies (I like a […]
I’m a former breakfast skipper. I only started eating it (because apparently a cup of coffee doesn’t count) because of pregnancy. My mom insisted I start eating a nutritious breakfast, but even after I have this baby, I plan on continuing this habit. When I start my day with something healthy, I don’t feel so […]
