Zumba while you werk

Sometimes, cactus reminds me of the Pilot. That seems like a weird thing to say, but he is fascinated with it, especially since he grew up in the South. Itโ€™s weird to him that many Tucson homes have deadly plants in their yard, which is understandable. On the other hand, greenery and trees are kinda…

Focus On: Weight Watchers

Iโ€™m heading back to work this morning, so in the meantime, I wanted to bring you a Focus On post that I didnโ€™t feel quite qualified to write. When I first tried to lose weight, my stint with Weight Watchers was very short-lived, since I really didnโ€™t know how to choose healthy foods at the…

Breaking the swaddle

Itโ€™s end of an era over hereโ€ฆ Two nights ago was Livโ€™s first night in her crib and also without her swaddle. We figured it was time to stop since she busts out of it every night anyway and she can roll over from back to tummy. Sheโ€™s almost too big for the bassinet, so…

Sneaking in veggies

One of the questions I get pretty frequently is if I plan for Liv to eat the same way I do. Tom and I have talked about this a little bit, but itโ€™s always been understood that sheโ€™ll eat like he does: whatever we have or I cook at home, and whatever else we may…

While I was sleeping

the Pilot saved a baby bird. Bella was in the backyard sniffing something, and wouldnโ€™t stop when he told her to โ€œleave it.โ€ He walked over to see what it was, and it was a teeny baby bird in the rocks of our backyard, who had fallen out of his nest. He Googled to see…

Some things never change

Like my constantly mismatched socks protein, berry, almond butter oats (kinda watery this morning, but still good) and Bellaโ€™s ability to peer deep into your soul. Thankfully, some things do changeโ€ฆ like the Pilotโ€™s facial hair ๐Ÿ˜‰ Mustache March ended early over here! No more scratchy kisses for meeeeeee. We went to Loweโ€™s this morning…

3/30: Thoughts from the week

-Really, BabyBump App? Iโ€™m 52 weeks pregnant! -When I kiss Liv on the cheek, she turns her face towards me and licks my cheek. Her version of a kiss, I guess ๐Ÿ™‚ -She also started to realize that everyone loves it when she smilesโ€ฆ so she smiles, mouth wide open, all the time. Itโ€™s the…

Baller

Iโ€™m officially sick of every song on my phone. Iโ€™ll download new songs on the computer and then forget to transfer them over, so when I workout, I end up scrolling through a mix of random stuff on my phone: the Mowtown CD I downloaded for beginning aerobics, old pop/rap/Zumba/rock songs, Christmas music and the…

Traveling with a wee one

I always love to hear about your experiences, because everyone is different and different things work for different families. Goes to show…
