Holla for La Jolla

[It’s actually pronounced La Hoy-uh, but it works… right?] LOTS of outdoor adventures today… and lots of SEALS! Per many of your suggestions, we spent all day exploring La Jolla cove. You always know how to hook a girl up with amazing local suggestions <3 Besides at least an hour of seal-watching, the day included…

You can [cord] bank on it

[Bella loves the belly] As we’ve been rolling along with everything, we’ve had to make a lot of medical-related decisions for the baby. Some were easy (like deciding to skip the eye treatment after birth- it’s only absolutely necessary for those with a history of STDs and can make the baby’s vision blurry during a…

The curry of my life

I’m not sure why I waited 27 years to try Thai food. I’ve heard good things about it, but never got into it for some reason. Well now that I’ve finally crawled out from under my rock, I finally understand what the hype is all about. We were looking for somewhere casual to eat last…

You stay classy, San Diego

After an afternoon of driving, the Journey station on Pandora, lots of reminiscing and goofing around, many stops to stretch my swollen ankles (and randomly seeing a friend of mine at a California gas station!) we made it 🙂 It’s absolutely GORGEOUS here. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve been to San Diego…

Crisis Averted

Hey from the road to Cali! [Random: We always sing “On the Road Again” when we get into the car for roadtrips, since we’ve taken so many together. Except we change the lyrics to “On the road again, we’re on the $*&@&*(@ &*@(!& road again”] I ended up crashing last night in the middle of…

Just the essentials

Hi friends! Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes <3 I loved reading all them and they made my day even brighter than it already was. I’m up late blogging since we were out partying our faces off! Ok, not really. I went to work, came back to the casa, showered (“I can’t…

Birthday Zumba

Good morning! Happy Saturday to you 🙂 Hope you’re having an amazing weekend so far. [She was in another world for that pic, but usually Bell will give me a smug face when the Pilot is petting her. Like “See? I win. Be jealous.”] The Pilot and I got a lot done around the casa…

Preg Fashion 2

I find it hilarious that I’m writing about preg fashion while wearing sweatpants and an old T-shirt… they’re also the same sweatpants I put on when I got home from work last night. What can I say? I like them. That’s why I’m writing this post- I need help! In the first trimester, I made…

Lasagna Pizza

It’s a slow morning over here!   [Bella was mad for the lack of recent blog face time, so I had to remedy that. Sorry, Bell] The Pilot and I were feeling adventurous and decided to pry ourselves off the couch from watching X Factor and go out and do something last night. Cocktails and…

Pumpkin Cheesecake for 1

It was a “dessert first” kind of night. It was a long and awesome day of teaching, capped off by team-taught Zumba class and a tubing class, and all I wanted when I got home was some sweatpants.. and pumpkin cheesecake. I’ve been scheming of this recipe for a couple of days, because I wanted…

More awkward pregnancy moments

It’s been a little while since I’ve done one of these posts (here are the first and second), and a lovely reader let me know that it was about time for another one. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it (oh yeah, because my brain is gone), but as things continue to grow over…
