Life Loofah’s Lost Months (aka That Time I Had a Baby)
I birthed a baby y’all! Wahoo! These past few weeks with our brand new baby boy have been amazing and frustrating and tiring and exhilarating all at once. And when he’s cooing and smiling and wiggling, time seems to fly by. But when he’s uncontrollably crying and I’m in pain from breast feeding and I’m exhausted […]
Feb/Mar Fitness Challenge: The Home Stretch
According to my midwife, I’ve had a “boring” pregnancy. She meant it as a compliment… I’ve been pretty low maintenance for her over the last 8 months or so. Even given that midwives as providers tend to take on the low risk and easier pregnancies, I’ve been a breeze for her. I told her “you’re […]

Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life!

Gratitude Gems: A Whole List of Things
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! Here I’ve missed two Mondays in a row, and that’s just unacceptable.

I already knew that we have some amazing family and friends who are very generous with their time and money, but no event in our lives has highlighted that fact for us quite so clearly as our pregnancy. […]
Concerning Underwear…
I made myself a goal to update my underwear situation in my 32nd year. I desperately needed new underthings, and it seemed like a fun and easy goal for myself to go buy some new things and celebrate looking and feeling good. Then a few things happened over the course of my year: I got a […]
Gratitude Gems: Working From Home
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I LOVE working from home. I consider myself an anti-social introvert most of the time so being able to work uninterrupted and in my own space is my ideal working environment. Now that I’m almost 7 months pregnant […]
Gratitude Gems: Baby Wiggles
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! My pregnancy has been so full of excitement!

December Fitness Challenge: Walking and Baking and Walking Some More
Ha! Fitness! I have to laugh, because when I was reviewing my December, just like the previous few months, I really couldn’t help but relate my level of fitness back to pregnancy yet again. And while some people may find that tiring, the reality is that this big thing is happening to my body, and […]
