K Squared Meals Review

Jamie Temple

After trying a week of Good Measure Meals (see my review), I decided to try another Atlanta-based meal delivery service. I found K Squared Meals (www.ksquaredmeals.com), a Paleo meal service, on Yelp and decided to try it out. I was very disappointed that my expectations were not met, even in the slightest. The only upside is that Kevin, the owner, is very concerned with customer satisfaction and offered a full refund because of my horrible experience.

Avoid Epsom Salt Baths while Pregnant or Breastfeeding

Jamie Temple

Not thinking anything of it, I scooped a cup of Epsom salt into the tub and filled it waist high. After soaking for 30 minutes, I got out and decided to pump and feed my son at the same time since I needed to store up milk for my post-surgery recovery time. My son became extremely fussy when trying to eat and I realized that I was not producing any milk although it had been nearly 3 hours since I fed him last.

Labor and Waterbirth - Why I chose a Midwife - Part 2

Jamie Temple

I planned for a completely unmedicated waterbirth. Without the encouragement of my midwife, Janet, I don’t know if I would have made it unmedicated through the painful part (about 3 hours).

Burt's Bees Style Lip Balm Recipe

Jamie Temple

Below is a recipe to make 12+ Burt's-Bees-style lip balms.

 

Ingredients (with Amazon links):

Equipment:

  • Microwave-safe container (I used a Pyrex measuring cup)
  • Dropper
  • Stirring stick (I used a chopstick)
  • Empty lip balm containers
  • Tooth pick or thick needle (in case dropper gets clogged)

Instructions:

  • Add sunflower oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, and lanolin to the microwave safe container
  • Microwave the ingredients in 1-minute increments, stirring after each minute
  • Once fully melted, add vitamin E oil, rosemary essential oil, and peppermint essential oil
  • Use dropper to fill lip balm containers
  • Reheat microwave-safe container if the mix begins to thicken
  • Add leftover balm to a small container or continue filling additional tubes

Tips:

  • Do not add thickened mix to lip balm containers or the resulting lip balm will feel flaky and not smooth.
  • If you clog the dropper, use a toothpick or needle to clear it out (you can remove the back of the dropper). Or, submerge the dropper in hot water.

Let me know how yours turn out!

Why I chose a Midwife - Part 1

Jamie Temple

I found Intown Midwifery through Yelp and booked an appointment. Their philosophy is to treat pregnancy and childbirth as a natural experience - not a medical condition. I was able to meet several of the midwives throughout my pregnancy and truly enjoyed their natural and calm approach. On my first visit, I was told that they would support me through labor whether I chose the all natural route or one with medical interventions. It was reassuring knowing that all of my choices would be considered and respected.
