Monsoon swoon
I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do for my last class today. I was supposed to assist pool, and my pool uniform is nowhere to be found. It was in the locker room (along with a ton of other pool uniforms) and got misplaced in the hustle and bustle. I figured I’d…

Someone is obsessed with my purple glass water bottle. I take it with me everywhere, and now, whenever I open it to take a sip, little Liv opens her mouth too. I put the bottle to her mouth and let her drink water, and even though I’m mostly holding it, she puts both hands around…

Iced
Look! Ice cubes in my coffee: Thank you for all of the amazing iced coffee suggestions! I can’t wait to try Pioneer Woman’s recipe and make some coffee or almond milk ice cubes, too. For this morning, I just made the coffee and put it in the freezer to let it chill while I fed…

This post is dedicated to the existence of the slow cooker. Without you, we’d get takeout a lot more often. Leaving for work this morning was a little on the hectic side. I ended up getting my first class covered so we could take Liv to the pediatrician -her eye was looking a little funky…

A different kind of cooking
While I made the chickpea patties last night, I also ventured into a new-to-me kinda cooking. Baby food! How cute are these little baby bullet containers?! (Peas, carrots and green beans) We’ve been experimenting with babyled weaning so far – the baby is given large pieces of the same food you’re eating. The only obstacles…

Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices
Last night we had an amazing dinner at Saffron–my favorite Indian restaurant in Tucson. We left in curry-food comas and I was inspired to create my own meal using spices reminiscent of our experience: Chickpea Cakes with Indian Spices Our date night mentality has changed a bit after having a little one. The Pilot used to ask…
