TV Philosophy

I’m not a huge TV person. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my Kardashians and Project Runway, but besides having the television on CNN most of the day, I don’t actively watch it very often. We always agreed not to have a TV in our bedroom –it disturbs the peaceful vibe and a distraction from..…

What I love about Sunday

Sleeping in on Sunday is one of the best things ever. Sleeping in with the sound of rain….. even better. A French toast breakfast? The icing on the cake. I LOVE this French toast recipe. Every time I make it, I tell myself to make it more often. Super easy, and I love that it…

Boot Help and Maternity by lulu

I’m not usually an impulse buyer. I buy things on super sale, and the more expensive investments, I’ll ponder and research for a little while before making the splurge. Huge purchases (like electronics) give me anxiety. Boots usually don’t. Those, however, were an impulse buy. I really wanted a pair of heel booties to wear…

My day in one photo

Here is my day in a picture. Here’s what it says: -I overslept -Couldn’t find matching socks to save my life. The best I could do was two pink ones -Had to race home in between classes because the Pilot locked himself out of the house… and he was wearing shorts in 40* weather. Poor…

Baby meals

I’m one of those people who likes to have a tentative meal plan for the week. It makes it way easier to grocery shop, and since I’m usually frantically running around, if I have to plan and shop then cook at the same time…. well this is what happens. Cereal in a mug happens 😉…

Let it rain

Yep, still the same over here. Just looking at that pic makes me shiver. Crazy to think that if the rain keeps up, the mountains will be covered in snow this weekend! SNOW. <—something I rarely see up close, but admire from afar Arizona people are kind of funny about snow and rain, since we…

Red and green quinoa lentil salad

I’m going to go ahead and blame my tiredness on the weather.   46* and raining all day. That’s gotta be it. Almost every day this week, around 6 pm, I’ve hit a wall. I’ve done a pretty good job fighting through it, but as far as cooking/dinner goes, it’s been a little rough. Lots…

Notes from the week: 12/1

-I think the baby has definitely dropped. Everyone else seems to have noticed this too (“I don’t think you’re going to make it until your due date!” I don’t either but I’ll have to laugh if I go to 41 weeks without any sign of labor), since the little one used to be snuggled up…

Trader Joe’s copycat cookie butter (gluten-free)

Dear Trader Joe’s, I’m already addicted to your nut butters. I take a daily almond butter dip no matter what, and I don’t understand why you needed to come out with all of the crazy combos that I have to try. And I guess you came out with a chocolate almond butter, too? Well, that…

Humpday Booty Burner

Hi friends! How was your humpday? It was a beautiful day over here (look at that sunset!), even though it was quite sad to hear that the Pilot’s family cat, Sam is onto greener pastures. He was 19 years old!!! We’ll miss you, buddy <3 The Pilot and I got to spend a little quality…

The girl who wouldn’t “moo”

The day I changed my major from Musical Threate to Finance, something changed with my personality. Anything that I wasn’t forced to practice and perform (singing, public speaking) on a regular basis… died. I was still dancing and teaching at the studio, so that wasn’t a problem, but class presentations became something I dreaded instead…
