I feel like there is this blur between all the days and it’s hard to know what day it is… just to be clear it is Sun-mon-nes-day.

So I’m trying my best to sit tall and breath deeply.  read more

Keto Cheesy Bread

If there was one thing that I was just CRUSHED to have to potentially give up was bread… can you relate?

Because going Keto means giving up somethings you really love.

But thankfully, there’s hope for us bread lovers!

If you don’t know my story, I had to completely change the way I ate when I developed gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy (that was 9 years ago!)

I was eating healthy… but I was eating a lot of CARBS…. and that was leading to cravings, crashes, and high blood sugar. read more
