Ways to be more active
Late-night trip to the Joe’s: I needed some things for the Pilot’s lunches, a bottle of wine for the wives’ coffee tonight, and most importantly, some of these: I had to eat eggs with a fork instead of pinched up into a tortilla yesterday and the day just wasn’t the same: Impulse buys were kept…

Amazeballs flavor variations
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in the world that’s more adorable than a table full of babies in their diapers painting pumpkins. Before Liv was born, I used to have groups of friends over all the time, at least once a week. I love cooking for others and entertaining, but since Liv has been here,…

Meg: Spooky Manicure
I want to begin this post by saying that this manicure was a partial fail on my part. It still looks totally cute and I’ve been getting boat loads of compliments, it just wasn’t as successful as I had hoped. Here’s why: 1) I bought 99 cent polish and…you get what you pay for. 2)…

10/14: Meals and Fitness for the week
As this post goes up, I should be running 8 miles with my friend Rhina. We’re taking a new route, and I’m excited for a change of scenery while enjoying great conversation-running buddies make all the difference in the world. Thankfully, quite a few friends are runners and they’re all patient with slower runners like…

The sweet spot
We’ve spent almost all of our Friday outside- it’s the “sweet spot” in Tucson when the scorching heat takes a vacay and pleasant breeze takes over. It’s short-lived before it becomes freeeeeezing (which in AZ is about 30-40*- I’m a wuss and I know it), so I love to take advantage of this time as…

Friday Faves and Beasts
My favorite beast and I had a movie date last night. We watched “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and I’m not really sure the Pilot liked the “Hey girl…” lines we were quoting while enjoying a shirtless Ryan Gossling. Bella’s: “Hey girl, wanna play fetch?” The movie was pretty good. I was in the mood for something…

Farm to table
Hi friends- hope you’re all having a wonderful week so far. Thank you so much for your awesome feedback on the candy corn popcorn! It’s evilly delicious. Now, let’s just take things *a little* towards the opposite end of the spectrum; like this box of organic produce I ordered from Sunizona Farms. While the Pilot…

Meg: Cap toe flats
A trend I do not see disappearing any time soon are cap toe flats, a very chic take on a ballet flat. They definitely add that little pop of fancy you might want for a date night or an important interview. I haven’t found any for a decent price, so I went ahead and transformed…

Candy Corn Popcorn
As soon as I mentioned doing a candy corn popcorn recipe for the blog, the Pilot was hooked. “Hey… so… um, when do you think you’ll be making that recipe?” “Which one?” “That one you mentioned the other day… it sounds really good.” I think he was hoping I’d make it while he was home…

9 Months On, 9 Months Off
Back before I was ready for kids of my own, I used to get agitated when I would hear that phrase. “You should give your body at least 9 months or a year to return to pre-baby size.” I’d think Why? Have you seen Jessica Alba? She was rocking a bikini way sooner than 9…

Hail HIIT, the Cardio King
One of the lectures I was most excited about attending at Fit Fest was the HIIT vs. Continuous Cardio lecture. I’m a HUGE fan of HIIT and even more now- I don’t have time to stroll along on the elliptical while tweeting and reading Us Weekly (and don’t really miss it). Workouts for me are…
