I didn't grow up eating meat - I was a vegetarian until I was 18.

Worrying is just a prayer for the worst possible scenario.

Fun for me is to take what I learn and teach others in a way that is accessible and applicable in their own lives.

Keeping stationary drains your brain, but moving around shows you new things, new inspiration, and keeps the blood moving.

I have two pairs of stretchy maternity leggings and jeans, which I will never give up, because once you experience an elastic band for a waist, you will never go back.

In addition to that, having the items I needed to foster the breastfeeding process and give me an opportunity to bond with my baby in this way was something that I felt was so important in my life and my experience as a first-time mom. I love that I am able to play a role in giving that joy and support to the moms we will be helping.

Having been to culinary school, the single greatest asset I learned there was how to cut and chop properly. It's an investment of money that will save you hours of time down the road, and hopefully some cut fingers.
