20/20

Jan 3 by Alex

HAPPY NEW YEAR, new decade and for me, the start of my 30s. I’d like to think that all of the above could at the very least look like my vision - 20/20. The year almost asks for it right?! Who knows when or if I’ll need glasses, contacts, or an assist with reading (or reading into) something by Read More >>>

NO, I’M NOT PREGNANT.

Sep 4 by Alex

How is it September? How is Xena headed to pre-preschool? And how, oh how, many more people are going to ask me when I’ll be “ready” for baby #2? I don’t exactly blame them, I catch myself innocently doing the same thing to other moms more often than I’d like to admit. But the problem with this Read More >>>

SLEEP NO MORE.

May 20 by Alex

Get up you sleepy head, spring has sprung, get out of bed. Our fifteen month-old rooster has begun cock-a-doodle-do-ing pre-sunrise, and just like that, this zombie of a mama is up and starting her highly caffeinated day. Of course, the difference between a toddler and a standard alarm clock is Read More >>>

RESUME.

Apr 19 by Alex

First of all, I need to start this by stating that my boss really is an incredible person. That being said, she’s also extremely needy, demanding, dramatic, vocal, requires lots of errands, will literally throw her food on the floor if she doesn’t like it, and expects me to be available 24 hours a Read More >>>

WE ARE ONE.

Mar 29 by Alex

Houston, we have a toddler! My precious little peanut has morphed into a mini human right before my eyes. As of January 25th she officially turned ONE, so of course we had to celebrate… and do it in a big way! If you know me, you know I NEED to have color in my life. It’s just an essential Read More >>>

2019.

Jan 17 by Alex

Hello twenty nineteen! Thank goodness you’re here. I’ve so needed you to wake me up and jolt me away from Christmas cookies, champagne and cider celebrations, way too many massive meals and far too few workouts. But all of that love and cheer (which there were lots!) brought equal parts Read More >>>

SO DIE(t) HARD.

Sep 14 by Alex

Summer’s over! No more white shoes allowed, so long rosé, it’s back to work, back to school, time to get serious, refill the piggy bank, say ta ta to weekends away and hello to rushed lunches, too much caffeine and way too little time in a day. If the period between my last blog and this one is Read More >>>

YUMI YUMI IN MY TUMI.

Aug 1 by Alex

It really is quite “smashing” being a parent – well, most of the time. What’s funny is how, for months, you think breastfeeding is one of the toughest, most time consuming jobs in the world, UNTIL you suddenly have to add one, two and eventually three “solid food” meals a day on top of it. Also, Read More >>>

MOMMA NEEDS A MORNING OFF (OR TWO…).

Jul 20 by Alex

Guess what?! I am currently in a baby free, trendy L.A. coffee shop, sipping an iced oat milk latte while waiting for my avocado toast to arrive. There isn’t a leaky bottle next to me, spit on my shoulder, a pump device attached to my boobs, or a high pitched off-key Mariah or Celine worthy coo in Read More >>>

MONTH 4 – SHE GREW SOME MORE.

Jul 9 by Alex

I hope everyone’s gotten their fill of firecrackers, forgotten sunscreen spots, beer, bubbly, endless BBQ, and just about all things 4th by now. But before we completely move onto the next, lets try n’ squeeze one more “4” in there … month four that is … with our little Miss Xena Rae. This was Read More >>>

You’ve got it! Get the latest and greatest right here. You CAN you WILL you DO want to do it. Promise!!

If anyone gets what it’s like, to feel like you gain weight from simply LOOKING at food, it’s Alex. And as soon as her handsome hubby-to-be got down on one knee, she knew she needed to DO something about it.

That’s when it hit her, “If I CAN lose the weight, I WILL feel my absolute best before I say “I DO”!”.

So that’s just what she did.

With a LOT of hard work, mental motivation, burpies and a few bumps in the road, she ultimately said “I DO” to herself FIRST and danced down the aisle with ease.

But as the story goes, first comes love, then comes marriage and now, yep you guessed it, she’s pushing that little baby in a baby carriage!

This journey may have begun with a ring but certainly didn’t end at the altar. Can she shake the pregnancy pounds and maintain semi-sanity as a working stay-at-home-first-time-new mom? Not without you, a cup of coffee or two, and her ever-so-loved mantra of “I Can, I Will, I DO!”.
