Who doesn’t love to win free stuff? Every now and then we come across an awesome product that we LOVE to give some away! (because if it helps, this mom, it should help you, too!) If you read back, we got to attend the Spuni Launch event this summer, and Maximo was introduced to a new, clean way of eating. Yes, BELIEVE it. (they didn’t even pay us to say… Keep Reading
We’re still a little in denial that it is the end of summer. When did fall creep right in? No real complaints, fall is my FAVORITE time of year – however, were the F did summer go???? In true Maximo fashion, we felt it was necessary to have a summer sendoff with an ode-to-corn: Maximo’s favorite vegetable of the summer – and possibly all time. This post is purely to… Keep Reading
I am in such a love/hate relationship with food right now. It’s not for losing weight, this time it’s for trying to eat REAL food. No HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), NO GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), No BVO (Brominated Vegetable Oil aka CANCER), no Hormones, no chemicals – no —– PHEW! I fell like I am writing a chapter for a science fiction novel. But I am not. Sadly, that’s… Keep Reading
Being a mom is F-ING hard. And society doesn’t make it any easier. In a country where there is zero required maternity leave by companies, formula and baby clothes cost more than a weekend getaway – in FRANCE, and people shun you for breastfeeding in public, it’s a wonder how we have any family values left! Ok – if many of you didn’t see all the posts and hoopla over last… Keep Reading
I.Love.Food. Especially Mac and Cheese. So when I tell you that Mom It Forward added one of my mac and cheese recipes (with spaghetti squash of course!) to their Top 15 Summer Garden Recipes – I was so proud. My gram would be so proud. After all, it was her that taught me how to bake and cook on the farm. And I’ve come a long ways from the first… Keep Reading
FINALLY. It’s that time of year. That time when all the boys (and ladies, excuse me) finally stop complaining about all of my posts on breastfeeding and peeing in public and actually READ my blog. (Note – I HAVE actually taken and used a breast pump in Heinz Field!) Yes boys and girls, we’re talking about football season. Or – STEELER SEASON, as one may refer to it in Pittsburgh…. Keep Reading
In my twenties, I am pretty sure I was invincible. I hate to admit it (earmuffs Maximo! don’t read this and think it’s OKAY for you to do it!), but I partied hard with celebrities and athletes (shhhh!), would drive too fast, didn’t wear a SEAT BELT! (do not attempt. I got yelled at MANY times), nor a helmet on a motorcycle (I can STILL hear Jamie yelling at me…. Keep Reading
Having a baby really effs up your living chi. I used to waste money and time shopping at Home Goods for useless knick knacks (yeah, laugh you KNOW you get sucked in too). Now my home is innovative with baby food splatter all over my kitchen counter walls. My fancy hard-wood floors are now fluffy carpeting, littered with Cheerios and bananas. Sometimes I just leave all the Cheerios for Maximo… Keep Reading

It’s kind of funny that I follow up my blog on minding your sugar with a sweet treat recipe – BUT if you look – it’s all NATURAL sugars 🙂 no added sugar at ALL! 🙂 Just an nice easy pie recipe. I think the best recipes always come from cleaning out your fridge. You have all these left over ingredients and don’t know what do to with them, but… Keep Reading
