We’re here—The 4 month sleep regression. Which means, Baby M isn’t sleeping, and quite frankly neither am I. As you know, we’re still doing mornings because mornings don’t stop for any baby or any sleep regression.
In an attempt to streamline our mornings, I’ve finally gotten on the Overnight Oats bandwagon. Especially because I can make ahead and portion it out for the week. Overnight Oats for EVERYONE!!

Have you had browned butter anything? Trust me it’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever had. So obviously, these Browned Butter Pumpkin Pancakes are the bomb dot com (do we still say that??!! I’m 1000% not up to date with todays lingo)
Doesn’t matter what lingo you use. You have to add these pancakes to the rotation.

I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been menu planning for the week, and counting calories in an effort to basically get my life together, have more energy and conquer the world. Well, I’m still going strong. I haven’t conquered the world yet, but I found that If I make an effort to wake up when my alarm rings, focus on one major task at a time and make time to eat better and get some exercise, I feel so much better. Zayna!! That’s what everyone’s been talking about this whole time! Yea, I know. I just haven’t been able to implement that in my own life lately. It feels like I’ve taken quite a while to settle into my new surroundings. Now, I can’t say I’m “new” anymore. It’s been over a year, and I should have a rhythm by now.
The best thing I started doing is menu planning for the week. Not only does it help me build my grocery list, it keeps my eating in check.
One thing that helps me get through my mornings, is knowing I have breakfast ready. I’ve incorporated Chia Pudding, Baked Oatmeal and now, Breakfast Scrambled Egg Muffins. I love that I can make them on Saturday night keep them refrigerated or in the freezer for the week and heat up daily.

Rise and Shine! I’ve finally gotten my life somewhat together. After being sick for two weeks post Tanzania trip, my body is finally at 80%. That’s good enough for me. That means, back to weekly meal planning, finally joining a gym here in Amman and being as productive as possible at work and at home.
Let’s talk breakfast. (more…)
This is probably the 100th time you’ve seen me mention wanting to get my act together and get fit. I’ve mentioned wanting to get healthy and back in shape. That’s only because I’ve been telling myself this over and over and making no real strides to progress. Sounds like a personal problem, right? Well, I’m pleased to announce, I signed up for (way more classes than I should have) of Pure Barre. And yes, I’m actually planning to stick with it. I’m even going back to counting my calories using my favorite tracking app, My Fitness Pal. (more…)
Happy New Year! And Happy Date Filled Cinnamon Rolls! (we can hit the gym next week)
2017 was one heck of a year. I celebrated a major milestone birthday. Then had a magical summer and fall to follow. I did a ton of international travel. 2017 was my year. I felt energetic, brave and empowered; like I could take on the world. I didn’t let life beat me down. Chocolate Cake, may or may not have had the power to pull me out of a pretty brutal disappointment. As I look back, 2017 was good to me, for the most part. I guess there’s no such thing as perfect.
