Whole30 Sweet Potato Casserole

February 10, 2016February 2, 2016 - Lauren Jamison 2 Comments
Whole30 Sweet Potato Casserole

I have found this Whole30 to be infinitely easier than the last one. I think the principles really stick with you over time, so when left to my own devices I don’t eat too far outside of the normal Whole30 fare. But it’s nice to buckle down and commit to doing a Whole30 now andRead more

November 25, 2015November 18, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

It’s sad to admit, but trying to get back in shape again has been a painful experience. My poor muscles are screaming obscenities at suddenly being used again when they have happily enjoyed their nearly year long vacation. I’ve been holding my own cuss words inside as I humbly limp and waddle around trying toRead more

My Postpartum NON-Fitness

June 3, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Interesting fact. Two days after Aubrey was born Will looked up at me as he hovered over our new little smush, and with wide excited eyes proclaimed, “I want more babies. I know I never wanted babies, but this makes me want more babies.” I thought surely, once the newness wore off a little, andRead more

How I’m Feeling About My Postpartum Body

November 6, 2014 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Gosh isn’t that the million dollar question. I surprised myself with pregnancy. For years leading up to making the decision to go for it, I worried about what carrying a baby would do to my body. I’ve never been of model proportions, but I have always been on the thinner side, and for the mostRead more

Week 24: Admin, Crossfit & A Weekend at the Lake

June 18, 2014October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

At the beginning of this week people kept asking me what I had planned for the week. At the time I didn’t have much to tell them, it seemed my week was going to be pretty boring. However, the reality was a bit of the opposite. Between working on thank you cards for the shower,Read more

Week 18: The Attack of Pregzilla

May 7, 2014October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison 2 Comments

Well the blog is finally caught up with where I really am in this pregnancy. So you can expect a little slower posting schedule. In general this week was pretty easy. On the move front, the movers have been confirmed, we’ve done a good job of getting our house in order and things sorted forRead more

Week 13: Start Spreading the News!

April 23, 2014October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

No matter how many times I google it, there are always contradicting answers as to when the first trimester ends and the second one begins. Hitting the 12 week mark, for all intents and purposes one would consider that 3 month period to be the first trimester. But it’s tricky because there are 40 weeksRead more

Spaghetti Squash Crust Quiche

October 31, 2013October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

And now that the travel saga is complete, I thought I would end this week with a recipe. I posted a make-shift recipe for this quiche on Facebook, but thought it might be handy to do an actual post with a printable recipe.  Nothing fancy to write. Just your classic quiche reworked to fit inRead more

Seafood in the Midwest: Salmon Burgers

April 17, 2013October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

As you can imagine, seafood is a bit hard to come by out here in the good ol’ midwest. Most every fish I find is frozen or canned, and finding anything wild caught provides a challenge. There have been a few occasions where I’ve turned to the frozen varieties, and they will suffice when I’mRead more

April 10, 2013October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

This past weekend was a big weekend for the Parent magazine I work for. It was the annual Kids Fair at the civic center in town, which meant thousands of children and their parents in an isolated atmosphere, a.k.a. the perfect opportunity for us to hawk some books out. I worked the fair a fewRead more
