Sure, I’m pretty much a grown adult, but when it comes to the Holiday season I get so excited and basically revert back to a 5-year-old. Christmas 2012 was an extremely painful Christmas for me, yet, I still kept up my holiday spirit and tried to enjoy the holiday the best I could. That year, …
I saw this Rudolph meme the other day and it got me thinking . . . Rudolph was one bad ass mo’fo. Seriously. I’ve always loved the movie and watch it every year with my family. Over the years, my Dad and I have taken the time to break down the characters and different scenes …

Of course I’m grateful for my health, my friends, and my life. But this year, I’m most grateful for my struggles. Every single one of them. Because, without them, I wouldn’t …
Every time I take a trip, I think “I need to create a post on the foods that I take on my trip with me”. Being on a super restrictive diet, and knowing that food really impacts the way I feel, it can be hard to travel because of all the crappy choices. When we travel, …
Last year I published a post about my Thanksgiving menu (check it out here!) and a lot of people said it was super helpful. I’ve been asked a ton of times already what foods I’ll eat during the holidays and to point them to yummy recipes. Well, here ya go folks! Here are some tips to …
Women of Pittsburgh, listen up!! There is an annual event going on in town that you MUST attend next year. Arrange a baby sitter, figure out a way to get off of work or ask your work to send the women of your department (I saw a bunch of companies that did that this year!). …
