What I Ate Today

Good morning! Oh wait, good afternoon? I've been up since seven and since then I've had a soy latte from starbucks (not awesome, I know) and I got home to a sleeping baby and took full advantage. I made an incredible salad- with green leafys, avocado (of course), alfalfa sprouts, tomato slices, cous-cous & vinegar and olive oil dressing. Contrary to popular belief, vegans can in fact eat unhealthy. My go-to fast food is the burger king veggie...

What's In Your Easter Basket?

Baby's first easter is almost here. While I am not a practicing catholic or christian anymore, I can definitely appreciate the celebration and everyone knows how I feel about bunnies! Also, I read about some excellent egg-free fun over at The Kind Life for when she's old enough to celebrate with us. I put together some sets at polyvore of the ideal easter basket contents. I'll definitely be taking pictures of her in some confetti in...

What A Typical Day Looks Like

Our Nini (Noelle) has now reached 11 weeks. This morning she had her two month physical with Annie (our physician) and she's 100% healthy and wonderful. Great news!

I Have To Give My Baby Formula Sometimes and It Turns Out That's Ok

People mean well when they tell you "formula is rocket fuel". It's really easy to misinterpret this, I know that I did. When I got pregnant I knew nothing about breastfeeding or formula. I know that my mom breastfed me until she went back to work (about 6 months) and then she fed me formula. I figured this was the norm, just like I figured that giving birth in a hospital was the norm... so why stray? Well, I obviously learned a lot during the...

Vegan Menu Review- The Mellow Mushroom, Nashville TN

Nashville does not have an abundance of vegan restaurants. Being in the south, there is definitely a preference towards barbecue and fried cheese. Like all great cities, Nashville is slowly evolving into healthier, higher quality foods so it's really nice when I can find something on the menu specially for my dietary choices. The Mellow Mushroom originated in 1974 in Georgia and has spread itself all over the US with locations...
