Practice 10k + a giveaway- ENDED

Practice 10k COMPLETE! (not pushing the jogging stroller, though. The Pilot walked with Liv since he has a PT test tomorrow and wanted to have fresh legs) I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to do it, but my killer playlist got me through. Even with the steep Sabino incline and a walk break…

Meg: Etsy Love

The last few days I’ve been feeling very under the weather. It’s only gotten worse this weekend, so I’m going to leave you all with some fall-inspired Etsy goods that have caught my eye recently. Hope you don’t mind! If you haven’t shopped on Etsy, you’re in for a real treat. Individual sellers list unique…

Back to “om”

I love Sundays. Especially ones filled with family brunches, getting chores checked off the list, and spending time with the people I love. Sunday flowers: We ended up doing a lot yesterday, and when I went to upload pics from the day.. there were only three. One of Bella patiently waiting for a green bean…

9/9: Thoughts from the week

-I thought breastfeeding could be painful at times, but that was until I recently saw one of our bird condo mamas feeding her young. Bird feeding is VIOLENT. I couldn’t help but feel bad for the mama, who had two birds intensely shoving their heads down her throat.  (frozen in the act) -Speaking of breastfeeding,…

9/9: Weekly Meal and Fitness plan

Most nights of the week, especially if the Pilot is home, I look forward to making dinner. It’s a nice way to unwind from the day, and I’m usually excited to try out a new recipe. After a full day of work yesterday, and a fun afternoon with friends over watching the football game, I…

Oh hey, fall

I don’t know what’s happening here in Tucson, but it can stay. Lately, it’s been perfectly cool and cloudy. So gorgeous that Miss Bell has been walked every single day. I look forward to our evening walks with the fam, but when it’s too hot, it’s less likely to happen. (Babywearing is hot)  Also in…

Apple Pear Ginger Saketini Recipe

Let’s have a cocktail, shall we? The last time I had a dinner party at the house, I was pregnant so didn’t get to partake in the libations. Now, girls’ nights are when the hubbies watch the babies and my friends and I will enjoy a cocktail together at a lounge or restaurant. When we…

Meg: What’s in my bag?

I spent my last day off this week cleaning up my embarrassingly messy room. In the process, I realized I had three different handbags full of…junk. I decided it was time to dump the junk and get organized! I think the easiest way to stay clutter free is to limit how often you switch handbags.…

Red-faced and Tabata Thursday

The Pilot is responsible for the sudden overpopulation of turtle doves in Tucson. Ever since he built the bird condo, we’ve had mama birds rotating in and out, and a constant outflow of sweet baby birds. Liv and I love to look at them when we take Bell outside in the morning. Bird house 4…

Review of the BOB Revolution SE

I was pretty sure that despite needing to upgrade to a toddler seat, the Orbit stroller was all we’d need. That is, until I found out that it’s unsafe to jog with a regular stroller (the plastic wheels don’t absorb shock or take bumps very well) and figured we’d probably need a jogging stroller. Tom…

5 minutes of fiery ab frenzy

Thank so much for all of your wonderful feedback on the new blog design. Cody did such an incredible job- I really love it. The blog has gone through a few facelifts as time has gone on and things have changed around here. Of all the changes I’ve made, I like to think/hope my photography…
