PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and Food
So on Friday I talked a little about consistency and food and mentioned how PCOS can complicate that sometimes. Today I want to talk about that a little bit because while PCOS effects a huge percentage of the population, not very many people know about this side of it. So first a quick overview… PCOS …
Consistency
I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like life often likes to throw me curveballs.

(Like Miss Marlee’s ever evolving sleeping/eating schedule haha) And I think this is pretty normal. I think …

Geekin’ Out: Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve shared anything I’ve been “in love with” and even longer since I shared any book reviews… So I’ve decided it’s time to start up a new blogging segment called Geekin’ Out where I get to share something I’m kind of obsessed with at the moment. It feels pretty …
How Much Should I Share?
I’ve sat here for a while trying to decide what to share with you all here and I thought I’d get honest for a bit… I know big surprise… that’s kind of been my thing, hasn’t it? The truth is for years now I’ve used this little space I lovingly call The Journal to share …
Marlee’s 10 Month Session | Sullivan, IL
It seems so crazy to me that this beautiful little girl we get to call our daughter is already 10 months old!!! These first months are just zipping by so fast. I was commenting on that to Ryan the other day – how I’ve always known that these little ones grow so fast and so …
