Booby Bites - Lactation Cookie Recipe from the EXPERT!

Booby Bites – Lactation Cookie Recipe from the EXPERT!

I am always having conversations with new moms about what to eat as they are also breast feeding and growing their babies. It is so important to keep your fat and protein levels up because without it, your body gets robbed of the good fats and amino acids that not only grow the baby, but also are in charge of serotonin production. The book, Potatoes NOT Prozac, is one of the best explanations…

Being an Introvert is not a 4 letter word

Sometimes the world is kinda funny. This morning I had a long conversation with a member of my practice about the crying child that just left my office. I was explaining that just the sight of me sends her off the rails. After 20+ years in practice, I don’t take these things personally. I was talking about a book that explains this behavior. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t…

BEST Chicago Mocha!

They say not to blog about your favorite coffee joint but I disagree. I do not want to live in a world where I am not obsessed about finding the best cappuccino. It is not my fault, my friend Sarah told my about microfoam and I have never been the same. Microfoam is that velvety smooth, wet paint textured milk that is at the heart of latte art. It makes the milk sweet as well. La Colombe in…

Vintage newspaper pictures-Chicago style I took this picture on an architectural boat tour last month and it made me think of the pictures I see on Vintage Tribune Instagram account that posts really old pics from the newspaper's history. Beautiful!

Hi my name is Dr. Steph & I'm addicted to my iPhone

Hi my name is Dr. Steph & I’m addicted to my iPhone

My iPhone is stealing my humanity!! I cannot seem to put that darn thing down. I have to admit, I LOVE IT! Love the access to the world. I post my blogs from it. All the pictures on this blog are taken and edited on my iPhone 6+ (because bigger IS better!) This is the problem, it is also the biggest TIME SUCK known to man (or woman.) Why do I feel the need to fill every free, unstructured…

Real bread. Fo Reals!

Ok, this might be my first of many posts about my obsession with how bread has changed. I don’t really eat much bread, doesn’t work for me. It is not that I don’t love it. Who doesn’t LOVE BREAD?! The thing is, though, that if I am going to eat bread it better be the real deal. Last Thanksgiving I cooked a turkey at my house. I bought cheap wheat bread to make the stuffing. Afterwords, I put the…

Feeding my music obsession

I just want to start with the fact that I love music. I have always been a huge music fan and these music services like Spotify and Apple music only make me love it more! (Got sick of Pandora-too much Coldplay & can’t pick specific song) Like the song “Breathe” in the picture. Ok so this is how this old lady stays current with new music. I was listening to Acoustic Afternoon playlist on Spotify.…

I love me some lemon water

The benefits of lemon water are a small reason I drink it daily. I love my lemon water. I was first turned on to it by an attempt to alkaline my body & thought it would help me drink more water. Half UR body weight in ounces. The real breakthrough for me was when I started adding lemon Stevia to it. Now it tastes like the lemonade you get at fair. Yum! Try it! Scientific Benefits of Lemon…

80/20 Rule

I remember when a patient was shocked I ate a hotdog at the Cubs game. It reminds me of the Pareto Principle. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Being well is not about being perfect. It is about making clean, healthy choices…

Why am I so obsessed with this tree?

I feel like she is my muse. After years of following her, I have learned so much about life and change and resilience and love.

It was 2 and a half years ago I happened upon her my number he lake in the winter. She just hung out there, cutting the wind. I realized I live so close to this rich source of nature and hardly ever visit the lake.

I made a pact with myself then to regularly…

Meet the Perfect Journal!

I met a Nathan at an art fair last summer selling these wonderful handmade journal covers. The beauty is that they cover a regular old composition book so no more spending money over and over on Moleskin products.
