July 24, 2012 FITbaby July 24, 2012

Look at that backside! And those thighs! Impressive beach body I love it! I needed to apologize to all of you who get my blog posts by email subscription and have been getting TWO emails lately. That has stopped. Thank you for your patience. I switched my email subscriptions from Feedburner to Mailchimp. If you haven’t done this yet, it’s SUPER SIMPLE to switch over and SO worth it! You can do so much more with Mailchimp! Here’s a short video on the differences if you want to learn. Now I can track more. I can send email newsletters to you and offer specials and giveaways! Super excited about the opportunities this offers. Be sure to sign up for MY NEWEST EMAIL LIST by ...

Going Green! | Why cloth wipes just make more sense.

January 11, 2012 FITbaby January 11, 2012

Photos courtesy of As You Stitch Baby I cloth diaper. I love it. It’s a little extra work. BUT, it’s so much better for my baby. [to me. i just have peace of mind with cloth diapers.] It’s less gross [to me. the soggy disposables i've used at nighttime gross me out in the morning.] It’s WAY cheaper. It’s cuter. We love cloth diapers. I don’t really need to tell you about cloth diapering because my BFF has done an excellent job of covering the topic! You can read some of her posts here: Cloth Diapering for the Modern Mom & Cloth Diapering on the Go [we use the GroVia because of this post] & Styleberry Cloth Diaper FAQ. I use different inserts though than ...

Quick & Healthy | Quick Brown Rice

June 23, 2011 cooking June 23, 2011

Finally……a blog post about fitness and nutrition and not just about me and pregnancy!!! Can it be true? You don’t have to wait 45 minutes for brown rice! There are a few different options to make brown rice in a hurry!! I’ll show you the options from best to worst! My favorite option, MAKE EXTRA AND FREEZE!! I found this in Real Simple Magazine (April 2011) and found it brilliant! Now, when I make fresh brown rice for dinner, I make extra and freeze it! I found these freezable BALL canning jars at our base’s commissary and they’re my new favorites! (I bought the 4 oz for breast milk and I’ll blog about that later if it works out!) For rice, I got 16 ...
