Next wrap step

Since Livi was born, I have loved being able to wear her in the Moby and Baby K’tan. In the beginning, that’s the only place she would nap, and I loved feeling her soft baby snores on my chest. (she was only 3 weeks old in that picture!) There are so many benefits of babywearing:…

Sparkling Lemonade Iced Tea

Sparkling lemonade iced tea is a refreshing drink to cool off with as we head into these warmer months. It’s sweetened with Stevia, so you can enjoy a sweet drink without the sugar rush.  I had an amazing weekend with amazing people, and I’m also wicked sore from teaching on Saturday. My biceps are killing me!…

I’m blessed to have many amazing women in my life. . (with…

A little too lifelike

Look who scared the life out of me: At work, they’re always adding new decor, and that statue is newest addition around the corner by the water fountain. I thought it was a real, nekkid man and it frightened me a little. World beat was a lot of fun this morning. The drummers and my…

Good karma

Sometimes it feels so good to hang around the house in jammies and do nothing. Since the Pilot was off work yesterday, I was happy to celebrate a slow day with him 🙂 He let me sleep in and then I took care of Livi while he took a long morning nap. Around 12, we…

4 month PDB

Every night during my last time pumping before bed, I pin things on Pinterest and lurk Facebook. It’s my “waste time on the computer” 20 minutes of the day, and while perusing around last night, I saw this. (It was on the “Sexually Deprived for Your Freedom!” page, to which I’m a proud “liker”) And…

It was our dance recital at work- the fitness staff usually performs (we did a bellydance and a Zumba dance) along with professional dancers that teach class for the week and guests at the resort.…

Schweaty May Workout

Thursday! Almost the weekend, night of our work dance recital and the Pilot’s last workday before his long weekend – I’m a fan of that 🙂 I don’t have anything to exciting to show you on the food front, besides the things I didn’t make: (Stevia sparkling lemonade! So refreshing… I can’t wait to make…

Mixing Patterns and Textures

I’ve been doing a little “research” in between studying this week on Spring and Summer trends. Sometimes I love trends. What a great opportunity to venture outside of your comfort zone and try new things! Mixing patterns and textures is a trend that has been happenin’ for quite some time, and I adore it. Some…

Fave Picante Picks

So whenever I post pics of food on the blog, I’ll leave it pretty plain so you can tell what it is: and then usually THIS will happen.   Hot sauce, cayenne pepper and/or red chili flakes – mama likes it spicy. I have a huge jar of red pepper flakes in the car, a…

4 months old

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was uncomfortably pregnant, waiting with anxiety to see when I’d actually go into labor –it felt like it was never going to happen- and dying to meet our baby girl.   And now, I have no idea how I lived without her. Lots of fun new…
