5/26: Thoughts from the week
-Parents-to-be: blackout curtains are a fantastic investment. We got some for Liv’s nursery in the loft, which I had been wanting to do because from the street at night, you can see into the loft because the windows in the living room are so high. It was a little creepy. Plus, every morning, Liv was…

Happy weekend to you! Mine started off in the best way possible: a night hanging out with the girls 🙂 I brought a bottle of red from TJs, and stopped to pick up a tostada from Renee’s Organic Oven to eat on the way since I was so hungry from teaching. I also had a…

Purple shoes for Zumba (see the blanket of pollen on the ground? Not so fun) this button on the Pilot’s new wheels (I got scary excited when I saw it. The button transfers the balance to the back part of the SUV, perfection for tailgaiting) and a tamale. Party in my mouth. Our family tamale…

Today was a great day, but I think the fact that I forgot a sock gave it a strange feel. While you’re teaching multiple fitness classes, it’s hard to forget that you’re only wearing one sock with your shoes. Didn’t feel very good. This did, though 😉 (coming home to snuggle my favorite girl) And…

Aloha! My fiancé and I have been talking major wedding plans this week. One thing we’re super excited for…honeymoon! Though it’s a year away, I can’t help but start thinking about lying on the beach with my husband (!) and swimming in the crystal clear ocean. My online shopping carts are overflowing with tropical inspired…

You know the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and his Windex? That’s me and the foam roller. It helps with everything, from sore hamstrings to a broken heart. I tell everyone that it “hurts so good” – that is, if you like a little pain. So I wouldn’t recommend it in every possible…

2 hour kitchen blitz: Greek-style quinoa salad (lentils instead of chickpeas) stuffed chicken (the same I made for the last baby meal) and my favorite chocolate chip cookies, which ended up looking like pancakes. Still taste good, though 😉 I’ve had a few kitchen fails lately, including the brownies … I guess it’s bound to…

Indian food dreams
Sometimes you have to count on someone else to help out with the meals. Like Joe the Trader. Something about swimming –or bopping around holding a heavy baby- makes me so hungry. The Pilot was also starving when we got back home, so he did the bedtime routine with Liv while I whipped up a…

Sweet: -Being greeted by a bird booty every time we walk outside. Mama bird is protecting her eggs, and I’m so excited to hear baby birds chirping eventually 🙂 -Going grocery shopping for the baby meal at Basha’s –I usually go to Trader Joe’s or Sunflower Market because the prices are better- and being greeted…

‘Cado love
Brought back something I haven’t had consistently in quite a while: the morning cup o’ Joe. Since I’ve been breastfeeding, I was worried that caffeine would give Liv an extra dose of energy -a scary thought when you’re already partying all night and sleep-deprived- but when I found out that it’s processed the same as…

5/20: Thoughts from the week
-I’m further convinced that being a mom makes you say things you think make sense and/or are funny, when in fact it isn’t the case at all. Number of times I’ve said unfunny jokes out loud in the past 24 hours: 3. I’d give you examples, but I’m embarrassed. When I try to make a…
