If you haven’t heard smoothie bowls are currently all the rage… I finally decided to give it a whirl last week. After making acai bowls for a while I’ve pretty much decided they are the same thing, but you don’t have to make them with acai fruit. The concept is to make your smoothie a little […]

What.a.week. Seriously, this has been one of those long, jam packed weeks full of deadlines, calls and has left me so wiped out. I hope to find some time to relax on Sunday afternoon but otherwise have a pretty busy weekend with work and a baby shower! I can’t believe that St.Patrick’s Day is next […]

I have such a sweet tooth and always like to have baked goods lingering in our cabinet shelves to grab in the morning to eat with my coffee (before my green smoothie, of course!). I made these super easy vanilla baked donuts a few weeks back and we ate them pretty quickly as they don’t […]

Austin thinks I make too much butternut squash — but its kind of hard for me to resist this time of year. It’s so easy and satisfying. This soup could take as little as 30 minutes to make, but I like to let it simmer as long for as much time as I have. It’s an […]

 Starting the new year I typically have a few major goals I’d like to achieve — like buying a house, and streamlining my businesses — along with several more attainable resolutions.One of the most important of these smaller goals is to make the most out of my mornings with Piper (i.e. less screen time). I’ve become […]

  Kicking off 2016 with a cold (hopefully not the flu!) was not something I had planned! Piper had her first cold and finally beat it and now I’m doing everything in my power to make sure she doesn’t catch what I have. I loaded up on a ton of citrus and tea at the […]

Over Thanksgiving my sister created the most delicious peppermint mocha recipe — since I can’t indulge in dairy yet I made a few tweaks to the recipe for my own version with coconut milk. Nespresso’s new Swiss Chocolate capsules are perfect for this since they have a chocolate flavor but regular coffee works just as […]

It is no secret that I love pumpkin recipes! This one for pumpkin pie pop-tarts is definitely one of my favorites. They are pretty simple to make and are perfect for a weekend treat. I also love the idea of making them ahead of time and serving them on Thanksgiving morning. Ingredients 2 pre-made pie […]

Two things that I love about fall are pumpkin recipes and warm, cozy drinks. That being said, Pumpkin Chai Lattes are my go-to! I’m sharing a simple recipe on the Glitter Guide which you can find here– it is a must-try if you love pumpkin & enjoy chai lattes. Images by Anna Reynal

Since having my sweet Piper Rose, my diet is now dairy and soy free. It has been slightly challenging finding recipes that meet both requirements, but with a little work I have found some great ones. Since fall is my favorite season & I love all things pumpkin, I have made it my mission to find pumpkin […]

I am so happy to be a contributor to the new ‘go-to’ site for mamas and expecting ladies- Oh Mama. This site is such a great source of information for all things motherhood, and it’s already been so much fun to be a part of. Click here, to see 3 ‘mocktail’ recipes that I am […]

  I’m not too thrilled to include the words ‘dairy & soy free’ with this recipe but I’ve had to eliminate all dairy and soy from my diet because our pediatrician thinks that Piper may have a sensitivity. It’s been 2 weeks that I’ve been off and it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t […]
