The Mayans were laughing

Hi! Happy Friday <3 So many fun and good things happening lately, and lots to look forward to. -Last night we met up with some friends at the zoo to check out the Christmas lights. The light display around the zoo property was absolutely gorgeous -some even blinked to Trans-Siberian Orchestra music- and Liv especially…

December Picnic

Still trying to get in my workouts during the day in hopes of relaxing with the Pilot at night. When Liv woke up from her first nap this morning, I figured by the time we left the house, I’d be able to get in a 30-minute workout before the gym’s childcare closed. Back in the…

Hug someone

It’s interesting how the weather tends to appropriately react on such a sad day. My heart breaks for the families of those who were affected by yesterday’s horrific events. I’ve felt anguished and too stunned to write, so I kept the computer closed and spent the afternoon and evening with the people I love so…

Thinking outside the “box”

You may have seen CrossFit on my tentative workout schedule every week for the past, ummm, couple of months? Well, even with the best intentions, I still haven’t made it back. There are so many different class options, but no early morning beginner classes. I really want to learn all of the lifts/techniques and the…

Monday Rundays

I was so excited to write this post saying that I conquered my 10-miler this morning. Alas, was not the case.  (I’m pretty convinced that 10 miles = my distance nemesis) I didn’t get home too late last night -had a blast with the girls, though- and was going to wake up super early to…

Our favorite bacons

Food-wise, lunches are usually my least exciting meal of the day. Since I’ll make them while serving Livi’s food, or they’re packed up to take to work, chances are that it’s a quick wrap or salad I throw together with veggies I’ve already chopped and/or roasted. Company-wise, they’re one of my favorite parts of the…

The weekly bounty

It finally happened.  I woke up early and got in a workout while everyone was still sleeping. For all of my new friends out there (hi!!), this is a huge accomplishment because: I hate the morning. I’ll embrace sweet, glorious slumber until the last possible second (which is usually when the tiny opera star lets…

great wall of chocolate + treadmill stretches

Hi friends! Happy humpday to ya. Hope your week (and October!) is going well so far. While the Pilot was flying last night, Bell helped me study for my NASM exam and earlier in the after noon, Liv and I went to walk around World Market with my nana. I was originally going to check…

Breakfast for lunch

Some pics from our Friday: Met with some friends for lunch at AJs. This salad was INCREDIBLE- greens, goat cheese, balsamic, dried cranberries, blackberries and candied almonds  Paused during playtime for a 30 second snuggle 😉  and since Liv took two 2-hour naps (!!!), I did a lot around the house, made the October workout…
