Even though the temps have been in the 90s these past few days (yuck!), it’s still technically spring here in Texas. I couldn’t let another season slip by before letting you know what’s on my nightstand. (Check out SUMMER, FALL and WINTER for more reading suggestions.) I still don’t get to read like I used to (for hours on end) … Continue reading

What’s On My Nightstand: Winter 2015 Edition
I figure there’s still time to get my reading list in since old man winter visited us last week. There hasn’t been much to complain about over the past few months here in Dallas (sorry, New England!), but since we’ve had several white days, I thought it best to get this in while it still feels cold. (Check out my summer and … Continue reading
What’s On My Nightstand: Fall 2014 Edition
Before fall is officially over (and the heater stays on for good), I wanted to get my book list out to you just in case you were looking for something new or inspiring to read (see summer’s list here). The majority of these books were part of my birthday gift from my parents (my mom went a … Continue reading
What’s On My Nightstand: Summer 2014 Edition
I had this fun idea when I was eight months pregnant with Sophia, to share what I’m reading, but didn’t quite follow through. Well, now I’m finally getting around to doing this post since I have a lot of good reads cluttering my nightstand. If you know me, you’d know that I’m kind of a book … Continue reading
Decide What’s Important To You
…and your family. We met up with some friends last week (who happen to be workout freaks) and I could tell the wife was itching to pick my brain. She knows I’m Paleo and that I cook all.the.time. So while I was sitting on the couch, she came to sit by me and asked, “Jess, do you really … Continue reading
Blogiversary I: Get Ready For This!
Can you believe it’s been a whole year since I started this bad boy? Yeah, me neither. I have to say it’s been a wild ride with lots of learning along the way. I’m happy that this blog is going where it’s going, but I definitely have plans to make it better. Aww yeah, let’s get your Thursday started … Continue reading
Baby-Led Weaning: Self-Feeding
Picture it with me…baby girl (or boy) sits down to a meal, feeds herself a bowl of scrumptious salmon chowder (you lovingly prepared) with a spoon, enjoys every bit of it, then asks for more, all the while none of it ends up on the floor. You think you’re dreaming, right? Then you open you … Continue reading
Cookbook Challenge Week 4: Practical Paleo
Happy November everyone! I will be back later to post on our Halloween experience or lack there of… Let’s hear it for week 4 of my self-imposed cookbook challenge (see the previous weeks here, here, and here)! Last week’s cookbook was a VERY informative one to say the least. If you are even remotely considering the Paleo diet lifestyle and don’t know what … Continue reading
Cookbook Challenge Week 3: Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook
Sarah Fragoso, of Everyday Paleo, did it again! To continue with my month-long cookbook challenge (see week 1, week 2 and week 4), I finally picked the Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook. I received her book from my hubby for my b-day last month, and decided I had put it off long enough. Her first book, Everyday … Continue reading
Cookbook Challenge Week 2: Paleo Comfort Foods
I’m back with week 2 of my self-imposed cookbook challenge (check out week 1 here). I have to say it’s been fun exploring my Paleo/Primal cookbooks and forcing myself to plan a week’s worth of meals for the fam. This week I went with Paleo Comfort Foods, and according to my hubby, ‘this is the best one … Continue reading
