Spicy almond butter kale chips

Not really, but 8 was my limit for the day. I had all of the odds in my favor (beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery, woke up on my own before the alarm went off), but it was a tough run. Sabino kills me every time, and I had to add an extra little loop at the…

See ya, cloth

After what-if-ing and maybe-ing, I finally just gave the cloth diapers to a friend to see if she wants them. She has a little boy and has been really wanting to try it out, so when they came over to play on Friday, I asked her to take the diapers and detergent with her. I…

All things that are pumpkin

We’re all about pumpkin parties at our house. On Monday, we had the cutest little group of babies over to pumpkin paint, and last night, we actually carved some. The night was appropriately filled with all things that are pumpkin: Nana brought over pumpkin loaf and pie, and we also enjoyed pumpkin chili, pumpkin beer and…

Gina: Navy finds

Besides department stores, which will always be staples that I love, I’ll go through store phases. I think it’s just that I like knowing I can go into a certain store, find something I like, and then leave. First it was Express (gotta love those mailer coupons) then Banana and J Crew  currently LOFT and…

Meg: A Guide to Boots

I truly don’t remember what I wore on my feet during the winter months before I owned boots.  They have been a solid staple in my closet for the past 5 years or so and I can’t imagine bearing the cold weather without them. Last year Tucson dipped into the low 20 degree range (which is…

What I’ve learned in 4 years

The other night, I was signing into my WordPress account and said to the Pilot: “I’ve written almost 3,000 posts.” 4 years. It’s like I’ve gone through undergrad all over again writing this little blog, and on the many pages, you’ll find stories about things that have happened in the past four years. Deployments, moving,…

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…

DIY play: Lava bottles

I’m not sure about you, but I can’t remember very many toys from when I was young. Of course, there are the really special ones that come to mind (like the talking Julie doll I wanted so badly when I was about 3 and Santa brought it), my Ninja Turtles (I loved those things) and…
