10/5: Friday Faves + Fit Fest

-Getting Liv’s 8 month photos back. I love all of them so much, and can’t wait to add some to our photo wall. (if you’re in Tucson, Silhouette Photography Babies does incredible work) my heart. -Coffee + candy corn As you guys know, I’m kind of a chocolate fanatic. Chocolate will always be number one…

Friday, it’s good to see ya. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! We’re wrapping up 2 weeks of night flying with the Pilot, which was after him being gone for 2 weeks, so I’m excited to hang out with him again on a regular basis. This week, he’s come home in the middle of…

Job secrets

Nothing like a glass of the vinolicious after a long day of teaching.  Zumba was outta control, I had a huge stretch class (over 40 ladies stretching!) and pool was surprisingly fun. They liked my playlist, which always helps things along, even when the particular class isn’t my forte. Afternoon snacks:   (Broccoli slaw with…

Good to see ya again

Breakfast was the return of an old fave: Quinoa bowl! Since I usually make a giant batch of quinoa and lentils for the week, I figured I’d leave the quinoa plain since it would be more versatile that way, and didn’t season it so we could do sweet or savory versions. I picked up a…

7/13: Friday Faves

This candle: I almost always have a candle burning, and picked that one up at the BX last weekend for $4. It smells clean and lovely.  Baby’s first hummus. I made Liv a plain hummus for dinner last night (just chickpeas, water, a little oregano and garlic) and she went crazy for it. We’ve got…

Dr. Seuss Hair

I’ve always thought the Pilot and I make a pretty good team, but it’s even more apparent now with a little one in the house. We don’t have to ask or say anything -we just  help each other out. He stays home with Livi on Saturday while I go to work, I’ll get to see…

Monsoon swoon

I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do for my last class today. I was supposed to assist pool, and my pool uniform is nowhere to be found. It was in the locker room (along with a ton of other pool uniforms) and got misplaced in the hustle and bustle. I figured I’d…

Breaking up

This post is dedicated to the existence of the slow cooker. Without you, we’d get takeout a lot more often. Leaving for work this morning was a little on the hectic side. I ended up getting my first class covered so we could take Liv to the pediatrician -her eye was looking a little funky…

Bird creeper

It definitely is a little funny to crack the blinds open, shove my camera lens in between the slats and snap multiple pictures. I have to get pics of the baby birds in the condo the Pilot built! Bird creeper… Aren’t they so cute?! The Pilot is also brainstorming some kind of blanket net for…

Party mode

Purple shoes for Zumba (see the blanket of pollen on the ground? Not so fun) this button on the Pilot’s new wheels (I got scary excited when I saw it. The button transfers the balance to the back part of the SUV, perfection for tailgaiting) and a tamale. Party in my mouth. Our family tamale…

Suit up

Ahhhh, so good to be back home with my favorite people and fur child. Such a lady. Work was good today- no Zumba, but I assisted DJ Dance Cardio, taught a cardio/strength class, got a new suit for pool classes (Baywatch outfit no more!)   and it was my first time teaching drums of death.…

A little too lifelike

Look who scared the life out of me: At work, they’re always adding new decor, and that statue is newest addition around the corner by the water fountain. I thought it was a real, nekkid man and it frightened me a little. World beat was a lot of fun this morning. The drummers and my…
