5 Years

You know this thing we have going on? I kinda like it.  The way you smell like jet fuel when you get home from a flight, the way you know to catch me when I jump into your arms, the way Olivia smiles at you and kicks her feet because she’s so happy to see…

Meg: Recent buys

Thank you all SO much for the sweet words about my new haircut! I’m rocking it with confidence thanks to your compliments 🙂 Every so often I will attempt to get dressed and end up hating everything I try on. This is when I know it’s either time to do laundry, or hit up the…

8/17: Friday Faves

-Wedding weekend! Our anniversary is tomorrow- I can’t believe so much has happened in the past 5 years. 3 military moves, 3 deployments, a house, a baby, traveling, adventures with the pups, hard times, amazing times, shenanigans. It feels like yesterday I was checking him out in between glances at my accounting book in Starbucks…

Surprises and spice

I was like Christmas today. First, I got to sleep in. The Pilot has been flying and working nights all week, so I haven’t seen him very much. He got home past midnight last night and we were all in bed, I gave him a groggy smooch and passed back out, and this morning, I…

Whit: DIY Braided Racerback Tank

I love big comfy t-shirts and I’ve always wanted to be the girl that can rock her boo’s big tee with a skirt or socks or something real nice like. But when your hubs is 6’5″, and you got a donk, this look is not the fantasy we’d hoped for. However recently I’ve been eyeing…

Focus On: Boxing Workouts

Source: popartuk.com via kanna on Pinterest   The first time I took a boxing class, I felt pretty silly. I thought it would be just like Tae Bo and actually no, that wasn’t the case. My punches were weak, I didn’t get in a great workout, and because I was lacking the confidence to put…

8/16: What I Ate Wednesday

Wait, I’m late to the “What I Ate Wednesday” party? By how many years? Oh, well let’s not think about that 😉 I’ve never been a huge fan of posting all of my eats. For one, I’m usually racing around grabbing food as I go -to think of plating it up beautifully and snapping a…

Meg: The Big Bang Commitment

Side bangs vs. straight bangs. I don’t know why, but this choice has always been so difficult for me to make! There are pros and cons to both, and I can never decide which to commit to. I’ve been rocking the side bangs since earlier this year, and they’ve been an effortless style for me. …

Almond butter banana fudgesicles

When I did the South Beach thing, I was always looking for ways to still get in dessert. As a girl with a major sweet tooth, I was scary excited to see all of the sugar-free options out there. Not all of them were South Beach-approved, but an easy way to get in my chocolate…

Toes in the grass

It was a day full of good things. First off, I found a new {air-conditioned!} place to take Liv during the day: the library. I had a card in Orlando since I loved to borrow books on CD for long commutes, but forgot to get one a new one in Tucson. We remedied that today!…

Meg: Where are you Winter?

There’s nothing I love more than the transition from summer fashion to fall/winter fashion. That’s an extreme exaggeration, but I really love dressing for cold (or cool if you’re from Tucson) weather. Because the weather where I live is currently over 100 degrees and painfully dry, I will use this as an opportunity to let…

Reader’s request: Save the Gym Hair!

This post has been a long time coming. I usually get an idea for a post, make it happen and write it up. Since I haven’t been working out during the day, there hasn’t been much point in saving my post-workout hair lately 😉 When I’m teaching at work, we need to look presentable, so…
