Banana Coconut Pudding
I love food and I love to eat. So you would think the whole breastfeeding-eat-all-the-food situation I'm in right now would be heaven. But let me tell you this, getting in enough calories every single day, to maintain my milk supply is really tough! Eating has become a full-time job! ...
Newborn Baby Equipment
Favourite Equipment = No Equipment Before my baby shower, a lot of people were surprised that I didn't register for some typical baby items like a Bumbo, an Exersaucer, a Jolly Jumper, Swings, Activity Mats etc. So I thought I would share a few resources as to why we didn't ...
Postpartum Fitness
If you asked me during my pregnancy, when I would be back to the gym after having a baby, I would have said "6 weeks, maybe 2 months". Oh how naive I was... Aside from the fact that (unknowingly going in) I was a full-on attachment parent, or that our ...
Fermented Carrots
Fermented foods are a staple in every single traditional culture, and their absence in the typical North American Diet, is likely a major contributor to poor health. I've written about gut heath and fermented foods many times on this blog already, so feel free to check out those posts: Sauerkraut ...
How to Help a New Mom
The first few days postpartum was something I thought about (and worried about) a lot the last few weeks before baby girl arrived. I had no idea how I would feel and what I would want - both physically and emotionally - but I knew that as an introvert (def: ...
My 3rd Trimester
NOTE: Baby girl arrived on her due date, and I had assumed she would come late since the majority of first time pregnancies do, my plan was to leave this blogpost for the week after my due date when I had nothing to do. So, I wrote this 4 months ...
Pregnant and Crossfitting
Ever since I was a (highly energetic) little girl, my parents knew that burning off that energy was key to my happiness, and team sports was the way to do it! I started playing soccer at age 5 and never looked back. My dad also wanted to make sure I ...
Pre-Baby Food Prep
I can't tell you how many people have told me to "just relax, whatever you do before hand, you will inevitably end up eating take out most of the first few months with a newborn". Aside from the fact that nutritionally, I couldn't imagine trying to heal/recover from pregnancy, labour ...
Coconut Milk Yogurt
Yogurt is one of the foods I miss the most, since having to avoid dairy. Unfortunately there are no good alternatives out there. And while there are some expensive cultured almond or coconut snacks available, they are filled with stabilizers, gums and other weird ingredients - so I don't touch ...
Green Mango Smoothie
I'm going to be honest with you, I've never been a big smoothie fan. When I started down my health journey, I had a smoothie every morning for breakfast for about 2 years, then hit a wall and haven't enjoyed them in years. However, so many people love them, and ...
My Second Trimester
Welcome to the second instalment of my personal experiences during my pregnancy. If you haven't read the first part (and if you want to!) check it out here. My second trimester was a lot less eventful. I got through the minor symptoms that I was experiencing in my first trimester ...
Orange Jello
It was 35 degrees here on the weekend (for my friends south of the border, that's 95F) and while that's just gorgeous for most people, being 6 months pregnant made it a little tough to handle! So I spent the weekend enjoying lots of cold food like salads, hard boiled ...
