Generally my feed is about food. But I want to take this moment and acknowledge a huge shift in my life: Motherhood. It's a relatively short path for some and long & winding for others. Its a smooth transition for some and for others it may not be. Depending on if it's your first or seventh it all changes the way you think, feel, and behave. For those of you, like me, where this is your first time experiencing motherhood - I recommend this easy read: Postpartum: The expectations & reality of the fourth trimester. The author takes anecdotes from her life to draw out insightful advice. Her examples of what a woman can encounter after baby - are raw & quirky. You laugh and cry all at the same time. Much like your hormones! To me, the fourth trimester is such an enigma. The author, Jessica, is like the mom friend I never knew I needed. This books helps ease the loneliness, isolation, and exhaustion women often face after giving birth and normalizes it. She broaches taboo subjects such as - childcare, careers, and the time with your significant other. We all long to strike the right balance. Jessica normalizes that we do not need to be perfect to be good moms. I love the books is sectioned into digestible chunks. The section on sleep is still relevant now with my 8 month old. Changing the way you live is a joy & challenge at the same time! About the author: Meet Jessica Dawson, a proud, Denver-based mother to her daughter Harper and dog Beans, partner to her husband Ryan, marketing executive, and avid traveler. Inspired by a supportive tribe of remarkable women, she fearlessly penned her first book "Postpartum: The Expectations and Reality of the Fourth Trimester," to empower new moms with the hard truth of what they may experience with a relatable, fun, and friendly perspective, creating an invaluable resource for everyone embarking on the adventure of motherhood.

Finally started packing my favorite lunches. Sandwich!!! Maybe I am weird but I could eat sandwiches for lunch everyday of my life. 😆 My mom made the best sandwiches and insisted on packing my lunch for school. Looking back I had no idea how lucky I was when she woke up ar 5am to make sure I ate properly everyday. 💗 Easily my favorite food. So pleased that sandwich life is back in the spotlight by content creators. Do you sandwich? * Ingredients - 2 slices whole wheat bread - 2 leaves red lettuce - 1/2 sliced roma tomato - 1/3 cut ring of red onion ( no need to chase away coworkers) - sliced English cucumber - microgreens - tillamook Cheddar cheese slice - morningstarfarms Veggie Buffalo Chik patty - A dash of honey mustard. #sandwichporn #sandwichlover #sandwichrecipe #sandwichoftheday #veggiepatty #tillamookcheese #wholewheatbread #honeymustard #redlettuce #tomatoes🍅 #redonion #cucumber🥒 #foodblogeats #favoritefood * * * *
