Toddler Must Haves (1-3 years)

03/31/22

It seems like forever ago I wrote out my list of baby registry must haves (because it was!). Now that I’ve been raising a toddler, it seems only only right that I follow up with my list of Toddler must haves. These are some items that have either worked for us or that I can’t live without. However, when it… Read More

Favorite Jumpsuits for Women: My Jumpsuit Obsession

09/15/21

The last time I did any kind of fashion round-up, it was for my pregnancy must-haves. But now, jumpsuits are having such a moment that I figured I’d give them some air time here. Besides, I’m always on the hunt for jumpsuits for women that work for any occasion – daytime, date night, loungewear, pregnancy – you name it! It… Read More

Six Resources for New Moms

04/12/21

When I was a new mom and even a mom-to-be, I couldn’t have made it through those early days without the advice and support of other moms. Not only moms who had been there and done that, but also moms who were in the trenches with me. I’ve shared openly about my postpartum journey and because of that, I wanted… Read More

Baby Registry Must Haves (0-1 year)

03/29/21

About half-way through my pregnancy, I started to panic about everything I would need – and didn’t yet have – to bring a baby home. I spent hours and days franticly Googling, comparing products and reading reviews to determine the baby registry must haves I needed to add to my own personal registry. By the time Valentina was born, we… Read More

My Postpartum Journey, Month-by-Month

01/21/21

There are many aspects to a postpartum journey that I never thought about during pregnancy. The first year after having Valentina felt like one big learning curve. Now that I’m finally feeling like myself again, I figured now would be the perfect time to share about what my postpartum journey was like. If you missed other posts in this series,… Read More

Artipoppe Baby Carrier Review

08/12/20

If there’s one baby item I recommend for every new mom, it’s the Artipoppe Zeitgeist baby carrier. I’m obsessed with mine and not only do I get tons of questions about it, I also get just as many compliments which is why I’m sharing my Artipoppe baby carrier review. As much as The Artipoppe baby carrier is a conversation piece,… Read More

My Breastfeeding Journey

07/27/20

Nobody ever told me just how hard breastfeeding can be (and many conversations I’ve had with new moms these past ten months confirm that nobody told them either). For that reason, I want to be totally transparent and honest as I share my – very long – story. But before I do, I also want to make one thing perfectly… Read More

One and Done

07/10/20

Photo credit: The AB View Photography One of the topics that comes up constantly among my new-Mom friends is when everyone is going to start trying for Baby #2. For many people, having more than one child is a given. So much so, in fact, that when I tell people we’re finished having children they say things like, “it’s too… Read More

How I Turned My Passion Into a Business: Next Generation.TV

Winter workouts hit different - physically and men Winter workouts hit different - physically and mentally - and here's why:

Boost your mood to prevent seasonal effectiveness disorder (SAD) aka "the Winter Blues"

Releases a fat burning hormone to avoid Winter weight gain

Gets your blood flowing to regular body temperature 

Strengthens your immune system 

While it may be harder to motivate in the Winter, maintaining a fitness routine will keep you consistent throughout the year, an important factor in seeing progress and results. 

My next TRIM group starts January 18 and includes weekly effective workouts for all levels. Sign up now before the new year rush at: https://app.trimbootcamp.com/trainer/marissa-mcfarland/
Pasta has a bad reputation for being high in carbs Pasta has a bad reputation for being high in carbs. First of all, there's absolutely nothing wrong with carbs or pasta, but did you know you can also get a good hit of protein with your pasta?

These are some of my favorite higher protein pasta alternatives:

1. Egg Fetttuccine - hear me out on this one. It doesn't offer more protein than a serving of regular white pasta at 8 grams but there's something that sets it apart for me and that's its denser, chewier texture. I choose this over white pasta often especially with tomato-based sauces. Bump up the protein content with chicken or shrimp which pair well with this.

2. Red Lentil Pasta - Even my daughter is a fan of this one. It clocks in at 25 grams of protein per serving and it's also high in fiber. 

3. Yellow Pea Pasta - I love this one for a macaroni and cheese-style recipe (or a dairy-free version made with butternut squash). It has 17 grams of protein and is also fiber-rich. 

There are many more high protein options like whole wheat, chickpea and black bean pasta, but these three are my faves. Have you tried any of these? If so, what did you think?
I stopped at @target for a few things and this swe I stopped at @target for a few things and this sweater caught my eye. I wondered if it was meant to be a "tacky Christmas sweater" for several minutes (my husband even asked me if we were going to an ugly Christmas sweater party when I put it on) while simultaneously imagining all the ways I would style it and I said F it and bought it anyway!

I love the non-traditional Fair Isle print. it's also soft and not itchy. This and everything else I'm wearing is linked on my @shop.ltk or go here: https://liketk.it/4pwvt (I swear, one day I will automate my links!)

After a long IG hiatus when I became a Mom, I felt After a long IG hiatus when I became a Mom, I felt lost here on this platform, but in March, I re-committed to it. I decided I could continue playing small so everyone would like me/ I wouldn't offend anyone or I could take up the space I was meant to so I could reach and help more people. Spending more time and energy here has had some incredible and unexpected returns including growing my audience, landing new brand partnerships with @adidas and @madewell to name a couple and making virtual connections with supportive women with whom I have things in common and who are also showing up here in a big way for their own reasons. 

Putting yourself "out there" publicly on any platform be it social media, a newsletter or in-person events is never an easy thing to do. To my friends - both virtual and IRL - clients and colleagues who have been supportive of how I show up, it means the world to me. 💚💋✌🏻
