Finding Your Zen

On Saturday, after a long day of classes and lectures, I was craving a yoga class. I was in the neighborhood, I got out of my last session early, an decided to go for it.  (Sadly, Ryan missed class that day) It had been a few weeks, and every time I take a chance to…

Pumpkin Amazeballs

These pumpkin protein balls are the perfect seasonal healthy snack! They pack a punch of protein and healthy fat in delicious dessert-like bites. It was a low-key, laid back day- everything a holiday should be. Got the Bob tire fixed (!) took it for a spin at the dog park lunch at Chippodle (my fave…

Margarita-run

The Pilot is off work today for the holiday and we were so excited to start the morning off with a family run at Sabino. But alas, the Bob has its first flat tire. Sad trombone. Instead, the Pilot offered to stay home with Liv while I went out for a little Sabino run. It…

10/7: Fitness and Meals for the Week

My brain definitely appreciates the new fitness knowledge after this weekend at Fit Fest. It was like, “what?! You’re learning something besides fluffy girl novels and baby stuff?

Reader Review: BodyMedia Fit giveaway-ENDED

I’m kind of obsessed with fitness gadgets. Not really in the sense that I own a ton of them, but they fascinate me. For some, I can never get over how ridiculous (or inappropriate?) they are: Source and others, I watch and notice other runners or gym-goers using them before doing my own research and…

You know you’re a mom when… {Video}

-Someone in Target sneezes behind you and you sing, “God bless youuuuuuuuuu!” the same way you do to your child. Accidentally. Awkward. -You know that designer handbag you never used to put on the floor? You lose it for a few weeks then find it, with Puffs crumbled at the bottom. -You smile at babies…

How to Use an Entire Pumpkin: Seeds to Skin!

I didn’t necessarily start out seeking to make use of an entire pumpkin from seeds to skin, but the idea kicked in somewhere after starting to make Liv some baby food  and midway through consuming a voluptuous glass of Malbec and a lot of gluten-free crackers. 🙂 And then this happened! The Pilot was flying Monday…
