Cleaning and Newborns
Nicole Christen in New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 1 comment - posted on Jul 19th, 2011When my oldest was born I was hit with a case of clean-freak-itis (apparently this happens to many new moms). Five years and two more kids later, I’ve become a bit more laid back (and I’m hopeful that when my children reflect upon their childhood, they will be thankful that I overcame my germaphobia). Don’t worry though, if you come to visit me, my house is still a healthy level of clean -it’s just not obsessively clean anymore. With a newborn in the house once again, I have had to figure out the balance between essential tasks (to keep us … Continue reading
(The dreaded) Nut Allergy and PTPA Winner I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butter
Deborah in Been Around the Blog, For the love of food, For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews - 5 comments - posted on Apr 7th, 2011So unfortunately we’ve joined the “KEEP PEANUTS AWAY FROM MY CHILD!” club. We made this discovery a few weeks after Leah turned 1 year old. I knew that the books recommended waiting until after the age of 1 to introduce peanuts so a few weeks after Leah’s first birthday, I thought it would be okay to let her taste my peanut butter toast when she showed interest in it one morning. She touched the peanut butter and tasted it, but didn’t seem to particularly like it. Before I could wash her hands, she got some on her face and started … Continue reading

Reality Check, Holy Crap!
Amanda DeGrace in Fitness Blogaholic, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics - 2 comments - posted on Feb 10th, 2011Yep, baby boy will be 9 months on Valentines Day. I had this notion that I would be back in the swing of my fitness routine, training all my clients again with a busy schedule and still fitting in my own workouts when I was 3 months postpartum. The idea of taking on a lot of clients again and working out daily was thrown out the window as I walked around my house like a zombie each day from not sleeping the night before. I thought I would be back in to my pre-pregnancy clothes already. I am SOOOO not … Continue reading
Breathe, Reflect, Live Fully
Amanda DeGrace in Just Between Us - 1 comment - posted on Jan 11th, 2011I took a bit of a blogging sabbatical. Yes, it was unplanned and it was apparently needed for my mind, body and spirit. Like most of you the holidays overtook my life with family member after family member visiting, places to go, things to do, and messes to clean up. But you may wonder where I was the weeks before that. As some of you know we had a tragedy strike our family the end of September. My 21 year old brother passed away from a car accident and he has left a hole in all of our hearts. I … Continue reading
