Past my due date and ready to meet this baby boy! Well, I made it to and past my due date. As you can see, it’s been quite a transformation of my body over the last nine months. I now think it’s hilarious that I was feeling “fat” around the time that I got pregnant.…

No baby yet! Well, at least not as of Friday afternoon when I put this post together:-) Based on how I was feeling then, though, I’m really not counting on anything happening any time soon. Tuesday is the official due date but who knows when this baby boy will decide he is ready! In the…

I’m officially starting to get antsy! You can see my full pregnancy update here, but generally for the last few days I just keep thinking, man, I am bored, but I am way too tired to do anything about it! Do you know that feeling? Like, after I do my morning workout and get some…

Counting down to baby! Less than two weeks until my due date!! Not sure if I look any different from the 32 weeks picture (when I was coincidentally wearing the same outfit) even though I definitely FEEL heavier and bigger. So I’m officially at full term and less than two weeks are left until…

This was really a good week in my world! First of all, I woke up to the nicest treat on Monday morning… some of my best blogger friends threw me a surprise virtual baby shower! Since I didn’t have an actual shower this was even more special. The posts were so nice and the recipes…

Anyone else extra happy that it’s the weekend? I think now that we are a couple of weeks into September it’s more like real life during the week and the weekends are becoming more precious. A lot of people tell us to enjoy the time just the two of us that we have left and…

Serious third trimester progress and a pregnancy update Man, my belly is BIG Yeah, this third trimester thing is no joke.

I’m no expert, but after being overwhelmed by baby registries I thought it would be useful to share some of what I learned! 1. Ask a friend. My best friend had a baby a few months ago and I trust her judgment on baby products (and well, everything). I knew that she would have a…

First of all, I have to stop and say Happy Blog Birthday to me! Apparently I published my first post FOUR years ago today (I’d link to it but after a couple of site moves it’s disappeared…). I started the blog when I was a little lost with direction and needed something outside of work…

So, TV. Thanks to the exhaustion I mentioned, I’ve probably been watching a bit more than my fair share lately. It doesn’t help that I’m in the middle of reading a super boring book (please give me a suck-you-right-in recommendation!), but most evenings have turned into a few hours of relaxing with Matt and watching…

Happy, happy weekend! Despite the fact that the baby now likes to push on my bladder in a way that brings on an indescribable amount of discomfort (especially when I try to go for a walk), I am in a very good mood. Besides, considering how lucky I’ve been throughout my pregnancy, a little bladder…

Whew, I’m so glad we don’t have a ton of plans here this weekend because I’m still recovering from last weekend and Tuesday night’s concert. I’ll blame the pregnancy but I sure do feel old with the super exhaustion. At least I’m still not as tired as I was throughout my first trimester! Speaking of…

My Feelings on Closing a Business
Posted on May 22, 2014
When I started Keep It Sweet Desserts, and really up until just a couple of months ago, I never thought I’d choose to close down / leave the business for family reasons. I imagined that I’d be able to hire enough people to do most of my work so that I’d have flexibility. I also…
