Reader’s Request: Healthy Halloween!

Halloween is a great time to reminisce about the excitement of being dressed up in costume (and mad because mom made me wear a sweater with my sparkly Little Mermaid outfit because it was cold), swapping details with neighborhood friends on where the “good” houses are, and filling bags to the brim with candy.

Hot Curler How-to

I’ve always been a huge fan of hot curlers. They’re super easy to use, inexpensive, and make you look like you spent a lot of time on your hair, when in reality, you totally didn’t. One thing I’ve noticed is that all hot curlers are pretty similar, but what you want to look for is…

It’s been wayyyyy too long…. The return of crepes! I got a link back yesterday from a friend who made these, and I can’t believe I forgot about them for so long. I’m definitely a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast, and go through phases where I rotate between 3 or so things.…

It’s already starting…

After a night of partying and piñata-smashing, I hit the snooze button a couple [more] times this morning. After making breakfast for the birthday boy and he left for work, I made some pumpkin oats. (Love that the 1/2 C scoop is a pumpkin!) Since it’s a special occasion –even though I’d do this on…

Moons and Showers

This morning the Pilot was admiring my growing (and now shaking and moving!) belly, and told me “I can’t believe you’re 6 months already.” “Um… I’m pretty much 30 weeks.” “So that’s 7 1/2 months? Ok, I feel better now. Because your arms and legs are still tiny, but this belly is like WHOMP” This…

From list to life
