Plant based food review: Alpha Burritos
This mom needs easy healthy food. I have a newborn that nurses 24/7 and does not like to leave that milk bar so - I am back to one hand everything. Sort of.

I mean I guess I could set the baby down but, hey he still smells like a fresh new baby and I can't handle seeing him sad. (Sponsored post) I partnered with Moms Meet and Alpha foods ... [Read More]

Show me Pregnancy, again.
I have been pretty silent on this pregnancy other than a few complaints here and there. This pregnancy truthfully kicked my booty from conception until about mid-way second trimester. I attempted to keep a little diary going, but I dropped off for about 14 weeks and trying to remember anything is a scene out of the Finding Dory movie for me. July 1-2017 I am pregnant! Both times I found out I was pregnant? I immediately start yelling from the bathroom. First-time was an "Omg omg omg" ... [Read More]
