I may get in trouble...

This may be the month that I get in trouble for many reasons. One is that today is my first official day on Maternity leave. With that being said, I will be doing things not in my normal routine. Baking and cooking these Fall dishes will keep me busy, but I bet you I gain a ton of weight from eating them too! I can't deny, as much as I love to cook, I'm not a HUGE eater and I don't live to eat, I eat to live and fuel my body...and this little baby too.

The other reason I may get in trouble is because I realized that I NEVER have to leave my house to purchase the things I need, and like- a very big difference between the two! I am being good so far, but I have only just begun! Yikes. I just may stay out of trouble and go for more walks, maybe by the water, maybe on the track at the high school, or maybe in my little favorite town of Rye, where I can't get in too much trouble! ;O)

I created a cute little To Do List for October, and thought I'd share it with you along with the easiest quickest recipe for guacamole. I mean even if you only have 10 minutes to spare, you can make this recipe! I promise! First before I share this NO brainer recipe, just look at my lunch today! I know baby Sasha is loving it too!

Since I am sharing this mouth watering picture, I should now share the recipe, huh? 
Click here: Goddess Guacamole: Super quick and easy!

I had jasmine brown rice in the fridge so I had 1/2 cup of that and made 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites in an omelet, and then took 1/2 cup of the Goddess guacamole and put on top. This meal was so delicious! YOU MUST TRY IT!

Goddess Approved!

Oh boy! I can't even grasp how fast September has come and gone! I guess when you are having fun, time flies. I had two baby showers, got to see my God Daughter- Caitlyn, Lots of Dr. appointments, finishing up work with my clients, doing some more shopping for baby Sasha's arrival- I guess you could say I was busy! I am thankful the month went by so fast! 

It's hard to imagine that Sasha will be in before the end of October.  I am just wondering if this month will go by as fast since I am officially on Maternity leave. The good news is that I will be spending time with my clients who are like more like family than friends- 8 years with me, 3 times a week, I guess you could say we know each other! So, I will be having quite a few lunch dates to get me out of the house.

I put together a list of my new Goddess Approved Goodies. I am going to continue this post every Sunday and introduce you to new things YOU & your family can try..... Let's kick off October with a few of my favorites!

Argo Tea: for those times you want a refreshing HEALTHY green tea with a ginger twist. It's only 60 calories a bottle, and I don't know about you but I can't drink the whole thing at once, I usually sip it over a few days. The Ginger twist is my FAV!

Dapple baby laundry detergent is great. I ordered it on Soap.com and just used it for the first time today. I am going to use chemical free Paraben free soaps, lotions, wipes etc, for baby Sasha. I know the other soaps and baby things might smell great, but Sasha will be a newborn, and that smell alone is perfect for me!

 OH MY! I found these two at Whole Foods, of course! Anything with pumpkin and nutmeg, I will devour, as well as apple butter spreads! No sugar in these bad boys and they taste so delicious on a slice of Ezekiel toast with some almond butter!

 Another goodie I found on Soap.com. The whole Method Line of products is paraben free, and no harsh chemicals. This is from their fall collection. It's a pretty bottle and the soap smells great! This one is in my bathroom. PS. If you order on soap.com, you will have your package in LESS than 24 hours. Who has time to be running to the store with a new baby, dragging all these things in the house. With soap.com, I order with a click of my keyboard, they deliver, Mario brings upstairs, and I am still snuggling with baby! Sounds convenient to me!

 My skin care has become less maintenance since I am pregnant. No Botox, No Juviderm, No chemical peels, just good 'ol natural products. Burt's Bees serum which is applied to clean clean. Josie Moran Blemish pads are great, as Josie Moran's whole line is paraben free: Don't need those harsh chemicals leeching through my skin to the baby! And lastly, because I get rosacia around my mouth and nose, Darphin products are great! 


I'ver never used this brand for body wash, but when I ordered it, and got it home to open and smell it, I am happy I did. It smells amazing! And just like it's name "pure Naked", there are no junk chemicals in there! The bottle isn't hard to look at either! SO pretty!

 Here is what you will find in my makeup bag! Yup, that's it! Laura Mercier is great for women who have rosacia. I just use a tinted moiturizer, because I have no lines or wrinkles, and no blemishes to cover. This allows my skin to have a nice even color along with moisture. On top of that, if I am going out I will wear the bronzer, and the mascara, but for the most part, I m wearing just the tinted moisturizer and my Sugar Fresh lip balm with SPF of 15. 

 Ok, so this one is my guilty pleasure. Caress makes this body wash that is just to die for. Not only does it exfoliate but it smells like it came right out of the oven- The burnt brown sugar scent stays on your skin for HOURS after you have showered. PS. my husband uses mine when he runs out of his bar soap (which I purposely do), and when he comes out of the shower, I want to attack him. It isn't a flowery scent, so don't worry. It smells delicious on men! You can find it at Target, CVS or wherever you get normal stuff. This will be my last bottle, as you saw above I am switching to the all natural lines.

Simple is a great line of cleaning products for your skin. No scent, no parabens, no junk. Cleans your face great and leaves no filmy residue, just a clean face!








And there you have My Goddess Approved FAVORITES for the month!
I hope you try these products out and let me know what you think!

Packing our hospital bags.

I feel  like I am going on vacation.... Got the bags for me, Sasha and one for daddy too. Since I will be having a C-section, I will be at the hospital for a few days. This means I need to make sure I have enough undies, nursing bras, PJ's, and that Sasha too has our outfits, blanket, hat, undershirt onsie, and little sherpa pram. I also packed her a pink snuggly velvet plush blanket for her hospital picture, and of course, I didn't forget her pretty little bow for her hair. I'm not into baby headbands so much, I like the little baby barrettes instead. I feel like the headbands are uncomfortable and squeeze their heads.

Sherpa Pram $22.80

So while some things are being washed, I ordered her little coat, hat and mittens from Carter's. I'm not going crazy on buying a newborn coat for her and spending crazy money. Carter's has been around I think since I have been born. Their quality is great and the prices are even better! Here are the things I ordered today.

Pilot Hat Set $15.00

I think these will keep little Miss very warm from the time she comes home, until around Christmas, which at that point I will probably have to get her into a 3 month sized coat.  I must say, it's so fun to shop for a little girl, but at the same time dangerous, because I just want to buy her everything! I was the same with Heather! She always wore the best outfits, although looking back now, she says "eww" when she looks at her baby pictures. I guess we all do when we look back at the style and fashion. I'm sure Sasha will do the same.

I'm already looking into outfits for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I think I am going to wait until I see how big she is and how big she will be by those times. 

This week coming up we have Dr. Bond on Friday, which is always a soothing comforting and fun experience, and one where I actually get to see Sasha during an ultrasound. I love watching her move and seeing how big she is getting. I am going to be she is close to 6 lbs. right now! We will see!
