Food, fitness, work, baby kicking and tumbling, meditation, preparation, and relaxation; a day in the life of this pregnant lady.

My goal is to try and get in as …

A Purified Pregnancy | Weeks 21-22
The second trimester has been treating me well, and I have been hoping the third trimester, which is slowly creeping up, will treat me just as good.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crispy Cream Cake
This raw vegan strawberry rhubarb layered cake is sweet, tart, rich, crispy, and creamy, totally dreamy! Think layers of rice crispy treats, whipped cream and of course strawberries and rhubarb.

The First Trimester | Surviving Nausea
What an exciting few months it has been, at the very beginning of the year Dominick and I found out we are expecting! Since then it has been anything but smooth sailing. The morning sickness set in full force almost a week after finding out, around 6 weeks. The term morning sickness is highly misleading because really it was all …
