Hi Mama! So here it is. I’m covering everything from the classic hurting of your heart guilt feeling of bringing another baby into your family and disturbing everything your first baby knows, to how your body can physically feel the second time around. On Instagram, when I asked what you wanted to know about my second pregnancy, the resounding question was how is…
By popular demand, here are the two vegan cake recipes I used when making my daughter’s first birthday cakes! For Bridget’s actual birthday, it was on my heart that I wanted her first cake to be made with love by mama. They will forever hold a special place in my heart.

This is personal. A little over 3.5 years ago I started a blog. My ideas and dreams for it morphed multiple times before I originally even launched it and have been morphing ever since.

Looking for the perfect winter soup recipe that’s packed with protein (not to mention vegan, vegetarian – all that jazz)? Well, here you go, friends! Enjoy! xoxo Jacqui INGREDIENTS 1/2 ounce dried wild mushrooms (I’ve also used shitake multiple times and it works & tastes delish still, but I prefer wild if you can grab those).…
*I wrote 99% of this post while I was on bedrest during my preterm labor scare. I now have a healthy, happy, strong, perfect baby girl in my arms. Despite the scary situation, I made it to full term with my pregnancy. A matter of fact, I delivered at 38 weeks and 2 days. (aka 1 week and 2 days after what…
Say that ten times fast. For years I made these for Drew to bring for the team to enjoy during meetings each Cardinals game before Halloween. If it was an away game, you better believe they were going on the plane, and gone before they landed. Needless to say they’re delicious and you should absolutely make them this fall season. Message me or tag me…
