90 Degrees Yoga (giveaway!)

February 2, 2016 by Lindsay 3 Comments

Last night I took yoga at the hot studio where I teach, and this morning I'm teaching my first yoga class postpartum at the Y nearby.

I'm not nervous, but it's an 8am class and Beck and I prefer to sleep until 10 because we were up alllll night so, late morning nap is coming our way later on.

During our class yesterday, though, my friend Courtney was talking about how there's a certain feeling you get when you walk into our studio, and it's so true - I exhale a little bit deeper every time I'm there, and I'm so glad that I'm getting to go back, even though I'm not teaching there yet.

Christmas Gift! Homemade Sugar Scrub

December 7, 2015 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

It's the most wonderful time....

...to realize that you're broke and have a gazillion presents to buy and everyone you know already has everything they need?

Gestational Diabetes + Depression During Pregnancy

You want cake is probably what's happening. Me too.

So, we've talked kind of a lot about the glucose tolerance test that you take around mid-pregnancy to see how your body is handling sugar. You take a little one first that is a "screener," and then if you fail that one you take a longer more involved test that can be used to actually diagnose gestational diabetes.

I'm writing about GD and these tests/screens at the same time I'm writing about depression because the glucose testing process is SUCH perfect metaphor for depression in general. And Lordy knows I love a good metaphor.

Happy Earth Day!

April 22, 2015 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

It's Earth Day!

Now, I know that rain is great for the Earth, but I for one am obsessed with the fact that it's a zero-humidity 70-degree day in these parts. We had a few muggy days followed by a week straight of rain, and sun just makes me happy, ya dig?

So, I'm happy we're having a sunny, breezy Earth day, and I fully intend to get outside to celebrate it as soon as I finish these 5,938 things I'm working on.
