🥯This weekend we had friends over for brunch and I was in charge of the bagel spread 🍳 It was actually really fun to cook and hang and eat at home with our friends and Ford’s bestie. For one of my FAVORITE brunch recipes, a crustless quiche, use the link in my bio. 🥞 What’s your favorite brunch dish?? . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #brunch #bagels #quiche #glutenfree #brunchrecipe #eggrecipe #lox #bagelspread #breakfast #healthyish #cookinglight #nycbageldeli
💫 2 weeks late but better late than never! 💫 4️⃣ #MisterFord turned 4 months old on Jan 29 just before we left California. The month brought big strides and big setbacks (mainly in the sleep category) and it ended with our return to the Windy City. 👶🏻 This age is more fun but also brings new challenges: he wants to play and be active but is still on the cusp of so many physical developments like consistently rolling, sitting up, etc which can make it hard for him to entertain himself for longer stretches. 👨🏻‍⚕️ We had his 4m apt when we got home and here were his stats: 🦵🏻Height: 92nd percentile 🧚‍♂️ Weight: 24th percentile 💪🏻 BMI: 2nd percentile 🧠 Head circumference: 79th percentile 🙇‍♂️ Basically he’s long, lean, and has a huge head 🛍 To shop some of his favorite items or things we finally tried and loved during month 4 download the @liketoknow.it app and screen shot this pic or use the #liketkit link in my bio! http://liketk.it/2zRl1 . . . . . . @liketoknow.it.family #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKfamily #LTKkids #LTKsalealert #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #fordolsonburke #fourmonthsold #fourmonthregression #sleepregression #skiphop #infanttoys #infantino #babycenter #thebump #honestmotherhood #motherhoodrising #babystats #4monthsold #4monthspostpartum #motherhoodunplugged
🗒 I have an 8 mile long to-do list but anyone with kids knows how that basically flies out the window with a 4 month old baby (esp one during a sleep regression & heading into a week of solo parenting). 🧘🏻‍♀️ I’d love to be exercising, blogging, cooking, running errands, posting on here, responding to emails etc but for the time being keeping him alive, and entertained is about all that’s happening (and a daily shower!) 🤞🏻 Sometime soon I’ll be back to those things but for now I’ll fantasize about a day when I had the time to whip up one of my most favorite dishes - lemon orzo chicken & kale by @halfbakedharvest 🍋 Link in bio for all the deets! . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #halfbakedharvest #lemonchicken #orzo #kale #chickendinner #chickenrecipes #healthydinner #healthyish #pasta #healthypasta #lemon #lecreuset #onepanmeal #onepanpasta #pastabake #cookinglight #pastadinner #greenveggies #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #motherhoodrising
☀️ During the 4th month of Ford’s life we took a sojourne to Southern California to escape the cold & spend time with my fam. A quarter of his little life was spent out there & while I’m certainly not a changed momma (still anxious AF/ have a lot of let go of), we made some big strides: 1️⃣ Ford met tons of family, not everyone & we wish we saw more of his big cousins but he spent lots of time with his Grand & Great Grand Parents 2️⃣ I finally let someone else feed him a daytime bottle & put him down for a nap. Granted it was my own momma but this felt HUGE. We got into a routine: I left in the morning to workout & she had her time with him: playing, feeding & putting him down for a nap. From the first day we did it to the last, my feelings were markedly different about leaving him with someone else. 3️⃣ I started working out again! My SI is still a mess but every morning in January I went to a @barre3southoc class & most days took Ford on a long beach walk. It felt so good to move, breathe & sweat. I hope I can keep it up, for my sanity! 4️⃣ I got some much needed time with my mom. As sappy as it sounds, entering motherhood only makes you want your momma even more. She spoiled me of course, having her baby home to take care of. Making me breakfast & dinner & late night snacks, helping out with bath time so I could shower. Basically she babied me while I babied Ford & it was amazing. 5️⃣ @tburke8 & I went on a couple of “dates”! While we missed the little guy & still made it home for bedtime it was good for us to get out together & do things we used to do. It felt weird, not like the old us going to a movie but I think we’ll have a new appreciation eventually for taking time away from the man. 6️⃣ I saw 3 movies!! I ❤️ going to movies & usually see everything nominated so this was a treat. 7️⃣ We slept in a room w/ Ford in our closet. He’s always been in his own room so it was good to know we could do it! *️⃣ All in all I’m so glad we went, I was nervous but it worked out wonderfully & I’ll miss our routine & the constant company as we return to life back in Chicago. But we are excited to see our family & friends here & to settle into a new routine!
☀️ It’s been pretty nice to eat so many meals al fresco during our month long getaway to Southern California, and it’s definitely going to be an adjustment when we get back to Chicago this evening ❄️ 🥗 Another post coming about what January here meant for us, but in the meantime I wanted to share one of a zillion yummy meals & snacks from the past month: a plant based lunch at @gmweho in LA. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Out of curiosity are there any other breast feeding moms out there who literally cannot eat enough to keep up with their hunger? You guys I eat 3 meals plus a snack, a PB&J before bed AND usually a banana and yogurt in the middle of the night. It’s INSANE 🤯 . . . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #graciasmadre #LA #vegan #plantbased #lafoodie #lafood #plantbasedfoods #alfresco #lafoodscene #breastfeeding #breastfeedinginpublic #breastmilk #hungry #nursing #mexicanfood #ricebowl #veganbowl #gmweho #thebump #babycenter #theeverymom
🌰 A year ago, Ford was the size of a nut. 🍉 Six months ago he was a melon sized alien in my belly. 🧔 Today he’s basically a grown ass man. 🤯 JK but seriously so weird to think that around this time last year he didn’t even really exist and poof now he’s literally the center of our world. Any other mommas find this cray? 🛍 Shop this dress and other favorite maternity/nursing pieces by downloading the @liketoknow.it app and taking a screen shot of the pic or using the #liketkit link in my bio http://liketk.it/2zDRh 📷 by @cassandra.eldridge . . . . . . @liketoknow.it.family #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKcurves #LTKfamily #LTKsalealert #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #misterford #fordolsonburke #fordburke #fitpregnancy #pregnancyjourney #34weekspregnant #34weeks #maternityphotography #maternityshoot #maternityfashion #maternitydress #leith #nordstrom #blue #grey #thebump #babycenter #babylist #postpartumbody
❄️ Since its record breaking cold in Chicago today, and I’m still enjoying beautiful weather, I figured it would be kinder of me to share a comfort food post rather than a beach pic right?? 🙏🏻 I haven’t re-shared this since posting it almost a YEAR ago but it was sooo good and a ton of you made it/sent me messages about loving this one. 😋 Without further ado, click the link in my bio to read about how I made this cleaned up ground turkey version of “hamburger helper” 🤗 . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #hamburgerhelper #healthydinner #healthful #dinnerideas #polarvortex #groundturkey #turkey #comfortfood #healthycomfortfood #imperfectproduce #dinnerrecipes #mushrooms #blue #lecreuset #pasta #healthyish #cookinglight
