Believe. Trust. Change.
I hope you guys will take a minute to check out Courtney's blog,
Believe. Trust. Change. She's on an amazing journey to losing 100
pounds! So stop by and cheer her on...
I
started this journey 9 short months ago and through hard work I've said
good-bye to 50lbs forever! I've still got about 80lbs left to go and my
blog follows my journey to a healthier & lighter life! I was/am a
freelance graphic designer, but I but my business on hold to stay home
with my kids before they start school full time next year. In my "spare"
time I love (seriously - do) going to the gym and lifting heavy things.
I also enjoy my part-time job as an independent Stella & Dot stylist.
On
my blog you'll read about everything from workouts, recipes (even ones
for tasty things like cookies), clean eating, products I use when
working out, how to take gym wear and fit it into daily fashion (rejoice
moms everywhere!), printable inspiration quotes, and whatever else I
feel the need to share! I don't believe in any quick fixes, pills or
potions - you'll never hear about those.
I hope you'll stop by and join the conversation! I'd love to inspire
you!

WW: Evolution of the Belly
Remember this post back in May, at the half way mark of my pregnancy, when I showed you the first 20 weeks of belly pics? Seems like forever ago, right?
Well, now that Mr. Man is here, I thought I'd show you the entire set of belly pics. Weeks 6 through 40. {Well, technically weeks 6-39. The 40 week picture is me and Reid on his due date at 1 week old!}
So? Here it is.

September Sponsor Love!
I hope you take a minute to check out my fabulous September sponsors!
I think you know this by now, but in case you missed it... Medifast helped me lose 30lbs!
This is a truly amazing company and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have about the program! I started with the 5 and 1 plan on March 2, 2011 and met my goal {again, of THIRTY POUNDS} by July 27, 2011.
You can read about my week-to-week updates, favorite foods, how the plan works and how I met each of my goals, etc here.
Due to my recent pregnancy, I'm {obviously} currently not on the Medifast plan, but will be starting up again as soon as my doctor okays it post-baby. They have a fabulous Nursing Mother's Program {See 'Nursing Mother's Guide' PDF for more details} that I plan to start around 2-3 months postpartum. It's a very detailed plan that includes healthy eating strategies for nursing mothers to ensure that both you and your baby are getting the nutrients that you need. The plan typically includes 3 Medifast Meals, unlimited fruits and vegetables, 3 servings of dairy, 2 servings of whole grain and fiber, and 2 servings of protein/meat.
I look forward to being a part of the Nursing Mother's Program and I'm happy to answer any questions about it {or the 5 and 1 Plan} at any time! =)
Medifast recently introduced a new customer savings program. If you use my new coupon code, JENNI56, and sign up for Medifast Advantage when you order $250+, you’ll receive 56 free Medifast Meals and free shipping!

Hey there! I am Shaun, the wife/mom/blogger behind Living with Peanut :) Oh, you must be wondering who Peanut is...
That's Paige. AKA Peanut. Or Minion, Goober, Mini-Marc...we have an
assortment of names for her :)
Paige was born on May 29th, 2010 at 1:00 PM after an "emergency"
induction. A beautiful 6 pounds, 13.5 ounces and 21" inches long.
Marc and I are the always proud, sometimes frazzled, parents of Peanut. I
share the trials, tribulations, and milestones of being a first-time
mom to a toddler. You can find DIY, toddler-approved crafts, recipes,
and other random thoughts with my readers.
Here's our story - Marc, myself, and Paige. We're growing as a family
and coming out of our shell.

Hello, I’m Sarah! Wife, mom, photographer. I meet my husband when I was 14 and he was 16. We didn’t “officially” start dating until I turned 16 because of my dads rules. We started dating November 24, 2001, then we got engaged April 24, 2004 and married July 24, 2004. Can you tell I like the number 24? He he. When we got married we moved about an hour from all of our friends and family. We are still an hour away after 7 years and would love to move closer again.
I have two sons, Dustyn and Carsyn, and I couldn’t imagine my life without either of them. They complete me.
I also share a lot of photos, tips & tricks. Can’t wait to get to know you all more.

I’m Molly. I am a sugar addict. This, you must know. Any sugar will do. Well,
except for those weird smushy hamburger candies and I've never been much
for black licorice. I'll pass on those. But any other sugar is fair
game.
I am married to my soulmate Zach and birthed the worlds most precious
babies. They are my heart. I have the absolute pleasure of being a stay
at home mommy and wife. I
count it pure joy to care for these beautiful souls each day. And- they
are funny. There are many little stories to be share about them to be
sure.
I'm Shannon, I'm 31and I love summertime, the smell of fresh cut grass, Key Lime Pie and the color blue.
I severely dislike pork chops, mayonnaise, and being cold.
I work as a Physician Assistant, specializing in Emergency Medicine. I can save your life, but don't ask me to make you dinner. You'll regret it - for many reasons ;)

The light of our lives is our son, Jack David. He was born July 12, 2010
at 3:36 AM, 36w2d gestation, 7.7 lbs, 19 inches. Jack is all boy, and
he is obsessed with cars. Or, any vehicle for that matter, "busss"
"twuck" (truck), "cah" (car). He loves music, especially his favorite
song that I started singing to him when he was a baby - "Baby Nugget"
(sung to the tune of Frere Jacques). The only thing he doesn't like is
sitting still for Mommy :) He is a healthy, happy, loving & peaceful
little boy...he is more than we could have ever asked for...he is
perfect...
I’m just a mom who juggles taking care of the kids, running a photography business,
and trying to keep it all straight! I specialize in maternity, newborn,
children, engagement, and family portrait photography in the
Philadelphia metro area.
{Steph most recently did my birth photography pictures!}
Well, Hi there! I'm Shannon...the mastermind (some might say...) behind Sweet Stella's. I
began my crafty venture in 2010 to help me navigate the waters of
post-partum despression...it was my therapy and my space to breathe.
Now, almost two full years later, it's my creative haven...a space where
I can pour my Fine Art degree into and create some truly inspired art
for you and your home.
I've returned to my roots as an abstract painter and sculptor, and have been dabbling in mixed media paintings - acrylic and latex on either canvas or wood. With my sculptures, Ive been creating gorgeous one of a kind wearable art pieces {pendants, brooches and rings} as well as larger scale pieces that can be hung on the wall. They're whimsical and lovely, and I absolutely love creating them.

Hi there. My name is Emily. I started this as a place for me to keep
family and friends back home in Minnesota up to date when my husband and
I moved down to San Diego, CA, in 2009. Over the years, this corner of
the web has been used on and off as a place for me to vent, release
creative energy and share a peak into our world. More recently it's
become more of what people would call a Mommy Blog. But, it is what it
is. I like to be real and I don't hold back what I really want to say.
Tina Dean Designs
At Tina Dean Designs, we believe that fashion and activism go
hand-in-hand. Our eco-chic accessories, hand bags, and home goods are
beautiful, upcycled designs that are easily cared for, fashionably
fabulous, and never go out of style. Maybe that's why many of our bags
are owned by Hollywood actresses, stylists and fashionistas - and have
been featured at the 2011 GBK Emmy Awards Gift Lounge and the 2012 GBK
Academy Awards Gift Lounge.
Tina Dean Designs re-purposes plastic bags and VHS tape into plastic
yarn - known as plarn - and turns non-biodegradable materials (that end
up in our landfills) into one-of-a-kind products. Each and every one of
our items is handmade to order and no two are ever the same!

Lilac City Mama
My name is Hanan. It’s pronounced Huh-non.
Don’t worry about saying it wrong though, I’m very much used to it.
Although my name is “different”, I’m just a girl who grew up in the
Seattle area. My mom was a single parent raising an only child, so I
“grew up” quickly.
By 18 years old, I
was independent, living by myself, and making more money then most
adults I knew, working at Fred Meyer. However, all that changed when I
fell in love with a boy. He was three weeks younger then I, and funny
enough he actually starting seeing my friend. Obviously, that didn’t
work out and just four months after dating, we became pregnant with our
oldest daughter. We moved to Spokane soon after. Thus referring to being the “Lilac City Momma”.
Six years, and two more kids later, we are
still happily married and raising our girls the best we can as a young
family. Trying to survive the ups and downs of marriage, parenthood, and all that comes with having a family.
Hello, I’m Sarah! Wife, mom, photographer. I meet my husband when I was 14 and he was 16. We didn’t “officially” start dating until I turned 16 because of my dads rules. We started dating November 24, 2001, then we got engaged April 24, 2004 and married July 24, 2004. Can you tell I like the number 24? He he.

Hi!
I'm Mama G from Growing Up Geeky. I am married to M - a mad
scientist, and I recently became a stay-at-home Mommy to my
one-year-old daughter Carina. M is an oboe playing organic chemist
& I am a former Math-lete and self-proclaimed domestic failure. I
think it's safe to say that our baby girl won't have a prayer at
being cool. My blog celebrates our quirks and outright geekiness and
provides you with a healthy dose of super cute baby. And we just found
out we are expecting baby #2 - so join us for the chaos that is sure
to ensue!
