Two in a row
Last night, we had a blast celebrating Kyle’s bday with the fam. All the usual feast suspects were also in attendance, including madre’s glorious enchilada casserole beans, jars of salsa that will set your soul on fire and she also picked up some cupcakes for the Ravens fan. After our amazing dinner, we went home…

Healthy Baked Zucchini Sticks
Today I have a delicious recipe for healthy baked zucchini sticks. They’re perfect for when you have a hankering, but don’t want the greasy, fried variety found at most restaurants. First, here’s a bit about what I’ve been up to lately: shopping for bridesmaid dresses! Steps for Trying on Bridesmaid Dresses 1. Shop with the…

Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices

We left in curry-food comas and I was inspired to create my own meal using spices reminiscent of our experience: Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices Our date night mentality has changed a bit after having a little one. The Pilot used to ask…

So many fun adventures today! A world beat class (which was amaaaaaazzing) hike at Sabino Canyon and dinner with an intimate party of 17. I was SO excited to take world beat this morning. As I mentioned before, there’s no recorded music, only live drummers, and we dance to international rhythms including African, Latin and…

Sugar buzz

What a great night to paint our faces like skeletons and walk around downtown Tucson. Check out how creeptastic the Pilot looked! *shudders* His first time wearing guyliner 😉 Hayley and I were painted up, too: Tonight was the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration and parade downtown, so we definitely…

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…

Hi friends 🙂 How are you? Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday. This morning, we took a little trip to visit my great-nana. Last time we saw her, we promised we’d take my brothers with us, so today we delivered on our promise. We had fun talking and hanging out with nana, and after leaving, the…
