It Starts With Food: Do You Want To Do A Whole30?
I have a secret that I’ve been keeping from you about the way I’ve been eating for the past three weeks. I’ve been doing a Whole30 (aka Paleo on steroids)…but first there’s this. Sometimes when you hear the Frozen soundtrack sung to you ALL day EVERY day, this is what happens: Do You Want To Do A … Continue reading
6 Paleo Pasta Substitutes {Dairy-free, Gluten-free & Grain-free}
If you’ve ventured into the world of Paleo or even gluten-free, you know it gets difficult to find pasta to eat. I’ve been at this gluten-free game for over 30 years and the Paleo game for 2½ years, so I like to consider myself experienced. You can’t imagine how hard it is being full-blooded Italian … 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
Coconut Citrus Electrolyte Water
Well it looks like the Texas heat has reared its ugly head. We have been hitting the 90s lately and it’s gettin’ hot in here pretty toasty during the day. I can’t complain too much, though, since we’ve gotten a reprieve for the first half of the month with cool evenings and gorgeous sunsets.

Kale and Sweet Potato Soup (Paleo, Vegetarian)
Every now and then a recipe comes along that is out of this world, and this is one of them (in my opinion). I’m not sure what I love more-the sweet potatoes, the kale, or the coconut milk…but baby, it’s good. A friend had sent this to me years ago and I have to say … Continue reading
Make Your Own Broth (Beef, Chicken, & Vegetable)
I’ve been on this kick lately, especially since reading Primal Moms Look Good Naked, with making my own broth. I would occasionally buy beef bones or hold on to the chicken carcass when I could remember, but now I have no excuse. If you saw in an earlier post, we have half of a grass-fed cow in our freezer that we split with … Continue reading
Chiropractic Care For Newborns And Nursing
This is something that I feel very strongly about and want to share with you! Remember my post on getting kids adjusted along with pregnant mamas? Well, this just got taken to a whole other level. Chiropractic care saved mine and Sophia’s nursing relationship! Knowing full well that I went to get an adjustment every … Continue reading
Placenta Encapsulation
It’s about to get crunchy up in hur…so bear with me. Don’t worry, I promise not to show actual pictures. I know you’re probably thinking, ‘Please tell me you’re not about to talk about eating your placenta, are you?’ ‘That’s disgusting!’ I know, I know, I was there just a short while ago, but I have … Continue reading
