The whole canoodle
Look who I caught canoodling on the couch when I got home from work… So I did what anyone would do: cut in and stole her. Heh heh. She looks really happy about it 😉 Today was a doozy, but a good day. Breakfast and snack were frantically eaten in between classes (egg-rito, and later…

Brother’s Breakfast
Hey, everybody! This is the Pilot filling in for my lovely bride who has to teach fitness classes much later today (I figured she could use a break in the middle of 7 aerobic / stretch classes). Hope you’re enjoying your Saturday. As you’ve probably read, today’s usually my down day when I regroup from…

Tonight was a lovely night for a squadron party [the return of hogcorn!!! <—popcorn popped with jalapenos] and a fall festival. The best part? They had a petting zoo, and the Pilot and I got to pet and cuddle multiple goats. If that’s not the best way to party on a Friday night, I’m…

1. Baby clothes are so.stinking.cute. Way more fun than adult clothes, and wayyyy more fun than maternity clothes. 2. Letting go of control. Having this little baby kicking, growing and doing her thang, has really relaxed my type A personality. So many things are out of my control right now, and all I can do…

Someone hasn’t been able to start her day. She’s laying on the couch until she feels like fully waking up 😉 The Pilot and I slept in a little –he flew late again last night so I’ll stay up until he’s on the ground safe, and then hang out when he gets home- and then…

I think I missed the boat on this one, but I still would like one of the obscenely large pumpkins that I keep seeing… [Shoe is in the photo for size reference] Did anyone out there pick up a giant pumpkin?? Maybe I’ll wait for next year, or maybe I’ll just go for it… After…
Read More →Sugary paradise
Breakfast looks normal… but in reality, it was a sugary paradise. A little too sweet even, and I have a giant sweet tooth in the morning. It started out as chia pudding, but I added wayyy too much almond milk, so then I added some Sun Warrior, which didn’t help with the texture… and…

One of the perks about making goodies for other people? Making sure they taste ok 😉 [Side note: roon with almond butter may be the most insane combo ever] Sending roons for the giveaway winner + a batch to an unsuspecting reader tomorrow! Today at work was my lucky day. I got to assist 3…

Behold, the sweet Ace bandage of belly-lifting justice. Sexy, no? I was seriously stoked when the belly support wrap I ordered via Amazon arrived on Monday. Of course, I couldn’t wait to take it out for a spin and see how it felt. The instructions were pretty intense, considering it’s a belly wrap, but I…

San Diego, which of course in German means…
you know the rest 😉 Last night was Bella’s dream night. We took her for a long walk at the park – which I especially enjoy since the Pilot and I can catch up on the day- and then to Frost for gelato. Vanilla for her: Pumpkin for him, and a peanut butter truffle for…
Read More →Birth Stories
I’m obsessed with birth stories. I love reading them, learning the details of such a significant day in someone’s life, and am especially intrigued because everyone’s birth story is so different. I only know some of the details about the day I was born. Of course, I was late (a trait that has stayed with…

Peppermint patty
It had to happen. After posting about the dark chocolate almond milk yesterday, you guys started flooding my brain with amazing chocolaty almond suggestions. I knew it would be good in smoothies and baked goodies, but hadn’t even thought about heating it up to make hot chocolate or, as Vanessa suggested, steeping mint tea in…
