Toddler Meal Schedule

Creating a meal schedule for your child can be a difficult task. I often felt I left the doctor’s office with little answers. Like all mothers, I wanted Hadley to enjoy a variety of foods. When she first began solids, I did make her food and supplement with packets when needed. Around 8 months, she started to grow tired of my food and I did rely heavily on the puree pouches and other store bought ... Read More »

Breast Augmentation Surgery: What It’s Really Like. Part 2: The Consult

  Upon leaving the consultation for a breast augmentation, I was consumed with excitement, frustration, and slight disappointment. The excitement was because the doctor seemed wonderful! He was educated, friendly, and comforting. The doctor made the suggestion of a silicone textured implant; his reasoning came from my body structure and proportions.

Confession: What Blogging is REALLY Like

I started blogging a little over a year ago. In this time I’ve learned SO MUCH about the blogging world and I must confess, it’s not really what it appears to be.  I’ve wanted to share what I’m about to say for a long time now, but I was nervous about how others would respond….especially since many of the reasons I started WIRL Project stem from many of these blogging...

Why Does My Weight Get to Dictate?

Happy Thursday, everyone! Not for me, though. I think today sucks balls. And I thought yesterday sucked balls, too. Who knows what kind of balls will be sucked tomorrow…. “Damn! Why’s Kate in such a shitty mood? What did Adam do!!!!” Actually, it’s not Adam at all – it’s 100% me. I’m in a really fucking shitty mood because……. I. Feel. Fat. Before I continue, I’d like to say something. I am not a m... Read More »

There’s a First Time for Everything!

Getting to this very moment has been an incredibly interesting journey and I can’t even express how ecstatic I am to be writing my very first WIRL! Seeing my vision and dream become an actual “thing” is more motivating and surreal than I ever thought it would be. I can’t wait to share what it was really like to create and build a business and website; I learned so much and ... Read More »

A Day in the Life (Or at Least a List of ‘Best Intentions’)

I have no idea how to organize my day, because I SUCK at planning. I try, I really do, but it never works out quite like it does in my head. My husband is freakishly regimented by nature and plans things down to THE MINUTE, but that’s just not me. Instead, I try to find a ‘loose outline’ of what the coming week will look like, then I laugh at my ambition as I sip cold coffee on Monday morning and ... Read More »
