We’ve all seen her: the frazzled mom who has too much going on and is pushing a baby in a stroller and has no hands left for anything. Then, the baby spits out the pacifier. What does mom do? Picks it up, pops it into her own mouth, and gives it back to baby. So. …
It’s 2017, and by now I’ve seen a hundred different, “New year, new me!” and “My top Ten Resolutions for the Year!” type posts, blogs and instagram shots. Just…no. I Resolve To NOT There’s some kind of weird Kool-aid people drink at the dawn of every new year, as though the turning of a calendar …

About eight months ago, a week after my annual pap smear, I got a call from my OB/GYN’s office. They wanted me to come in and talk to my doctor about the results of my pap. Normally, I was given a code to call a mailbox and get my results that way. I asked them …
I have a confession to make: I had no idea what a smoothie bowl was until a few weeks ago. I mean, it seems pretty self-explanatory, right? But I just didn’t get the point of it. Why would you put a perfectly delicious, drinkable smoothie in a bowl when you can just put it in …
There are two types of people in the world: those who wake up every morning ready to face the day with nothing more than a sunny disposition and a strong force of will, and those who are still half asleep as they’re walking out the door and wish the world would stop turning for the …

Life is tough. There is little else to say about it than that. We all struggle, we all fight with schedules, and finding time for others, and finding time for ourselves. A lot of the time I think we simply take self-care out of the equation because the idea of adding one more thing into the …
I am not a nice person when I’m hungry. Everyone who has spent any real amount of time with me has made a joke about HANGRY JAMIE at some point.

I love a good breakfast. No really, breakfast is like my most favorite meal of the day. So much so, that I’ve been known to go about eating breakfast for other meals for a week (or more).
