Blizzard Booty Burner

I woke up this morning so excited to see…. SNOW! From a distance, that is 😉 (I enjoy snow the most this way) One bonus point for chilly weather: when I take Bella out, she does her business wicked fast. I should put a jacket on her, but she’s like a little white furry lightning…

Oats, sneaks and bark

3 blog-related things from the day: 1.) The return of savory oats I say “oats” but it’s really Bob’s Red Mill hot cereal… oaty enough, though. Seasoned with nutritional yeast, garlic, sea salt, cayenne, and topped with a slice of goat gouda + the last bit of Nana’s famous egg casserole 2.) New kicks! I…

Full term

Last night, Bella would not get off my belly no matter how many times you kicked her. Maybe she already knows that you’re going to be best friends, just like she knew you were there before I did. Your room is (pretty much) ready, your clothes and bedding are washed, just waiting for you. I’m…

A glowing meal

Hi friends! How’s your morning going? We’re on our second day of gloomy doomy rain over here- I kind of love it.   Since I didn’t want the weather to get in the way of Bella’s walking schedule, I took her to walk indoors to PetSmart. She starts squeaking like a little bird as soon…

Take your workout with you

‘Tis the season for cookie overload shopping ‘til you drop holiday parties (Dick van Dyke!) cards (we got 4 today and I realized that we’re slackers) and my favorite part: spending time with family and friends. Sometimes this includes traveling to be with those you love, or entertaining out-of-town company.   One of the things…

Love and Lights

Last night, 14 of us met up at Winterhaven to check out the holiday lights. Winterhaven in a housing development here, and is known for their elaborate holiday light displays- I think it’s part of the Homeowner’s Association requirements. There are designated nights to walk or drive through, as well as horse-drawn carriages and trolleys.…

Nursery Fail

I was excited to get the nursery officially finished this weekend, but it looks like it may have to wait a while longer. Most of the time, online shopping is a major win (shopping in PJs and delivered to my door- what’s not to love?) but this time, it was a little bit of a…

My first B.B.

Today, I was on-call for work since my schedule is winding down until my leave begins. I didn’t plan on being off in case they needed extra coverage, but ended up not having to go in. So, instead of teaching, I got to enjoy my first Brother’s Breakfast and spend the morning with these two…

Tinsel Hair

As much as I love all holiday decorations and wintery things (SNOWMEN!), there’s one that’s not really my fave: Source tinsel. It’s made a comeback in the holiday decorating world over the past few years, but I can’t help but think of how hard it would be to clean up (especially with an artificial tree) and…
