From pin to life

Oh spin bike, we meet again. Thanks for the booty-kicking. I appreciate that. We got new spin bikes at work, and WHOA, they are amazing. I love the fact that the screen shows wattage (power), cadence, heart rate, distance and time. (The bottom left button enables you to create a “stage” that will track your…

Remember my April Fool’s joke? It was more of a “I hope I’m joking” kinda thing. I know now that I’m not preg, but I was totally wondering-thinking in the back of my mind that I might be. Not gonna lie- it scared the bejeezus out of me. For our first pediatrician appointment, two days…

Totally called it. The Pilot woke up, saw that the birds were still failing miserably at their nest attempts, so he built them a nest platform. Cribs, bird-style: He did a good deed, and I think it’s for our benefit, too… I would be traumatized if the baby birds fell out and crashed onto…

Sound like an oxymoron, huh? Well it kind of is 😉 Working out with an infant is tough stuff, but it can happen, whether it’s in short little blurbs during the day, accidental exercise (you’re bending down a ton and carrying around a heavy little thing all day), late at night or early in the…

(“floating on the pool in a raft” wasn’t quite as catchy) 😉 Swimsuit shopping is kinda like jeans shopping: you either don’t mind it, or absolutely hate it. I don’t mind it that much, but I’m a big fan of all things shopping-related, so there ya go. Here are some of my swimsuit shopping strategies:…

Took a walk on the wild side with dinner last night… Ok, not so much. Bella was excited, though! Every time she eats chicken, it’s like she’s enjoying it for the very first time. Here’s what happened when I tried to photograph her crazy chicken dance moves: She’s outta control 😉 So while dinner wasn’t…

One of the girls at work is about 37 weeks pregnant, and I can’t help but look at her belly and think “I miss that.” Especially yesterday, when it was my first time teaching Zumba at work without my favorite dance partner… Here are some of the things I miss, and don’t quite miss, about…
