Realistic Nutrition. Holistic Health. Full Life.
Second trimester has come and gone...2 weeks ago already! I have been busier than ever (hence the lack of posts), but have been feeling well. Around 20 weeks the nausea ended - yes! and then returned - no 😦 and then left for the most part - I'll take it. Around week 20 we also found... Continue Reading →
Sundays are busy days at our house. J Â cleans (could I be any luckier?!) while I cook up a storm in the kitchen. During rotations I just don't have time to cook during the week. And if I do have time, I really don't want to slave away in the kitchen after a 10-12 hour... Continue Reading →
A new study published last week found some interesting results - children born via c-section are 26% more likely to be overweight and 22% more likely to be obese.  Numerous media outlets reported on the story (here, here, and here).

Running outside is better (in my opinion), but it still can get boring. Since my first half marathon, I stopped wearing headphones. Even when I trained... Continue Reading →
Over the 4th of July weekend we decided to pull out the carpet and pad to prepare it for the need wood floors we purchased. We knew there was a weird ramp under the carpet because we discovered it once when we were walking in the living room. Since we discovered this "pre-demo" we thought... Continue Reading →
Last year I had the idea of putting in a breakfast nook. At this time, our kitchen remodeling was only a dream and we were skill managing with a mini-stove, about 4 feet of counter space, and no dishwasher. Fast-forward 1 year and we have a whole new kitchen! The idea of a breakfast nook... Continue Reading →
A new public health report found that exercise rates in the US are up - yeah!!! They also found that obesity rates are continuing to rise. You can read about it all over popular media (here and here are good ones).  What does this mean? The data are from 2001-2011, so this before the effectiveness of more recent... Continue Reading →
