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. Itโs 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…
Read More →Focus On: Weight Watchers
Iโm heading back to work this morning, so in the meantime, I wanted to bring you a Focus On post that I didnโt feel quite qualified to write. When I first tried to lose weight, my stint with Weight Watchers was very short-lived, since I really didnโt know how to choose healthy foods at the…

Itโs end of an era over hereโฆ Two nights ago was Livโs 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. Sheโs almost too big for the bassinet, so…

Hey guys! Howโs your day going? Hope youโre having a lovely morning. I enjoyed reading about your fitness and food goals for April! I have a good feeling about this month ๐ So does Bell. Sheโs already enjoying smelling the fresh flowers that I will most likely kill, and the run we took yesterday to…

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 itโs always been understood that sheโll eat like he does: whatever we have or I cook at home, and whatever else we may…

April showers bring May flowers unless you live in Tucson, where we go months without rain and then it pours like the world is ending. I love it ๐ Howdy to a new month, another chance to start fresh and start going after new goals or the ones leftover from last month. Hope everyone had…

the Pilot saved a baby bird. Bella was in the backyard sniffing something, and wouldnโt stop when he told her to โleave 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…

Oh myโฆ.. April Fools! Another one would be a blessing, but weโd like to wait a little while ๐ Hope youโre having a happy Sunday <3

Like my constantly mismatched socks protein, berry, almond butter oats (kinda watery this morning, but still good) and Bellaโs ability to peer deep into your soul. Thankfully, some things do changeโฆ like the Pilotโs facial hair ๐ Mustache March ended early over here! No more scratchy kisses for meeeeeee. We went to Loweโs this morning…

-Really, BabyBump App? Iโm 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 ๐ -She also started to realize that everyone loves it when she smilesโฆ so she smiles, mouth wide open, all the time. Itโs the…

Iโm officially sick of every song on my phone. Iโll 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…

โWee oneโ = something Iโd never say in real life, but I like typing it. Kinda like โyโallโ ๐ Thank you so much for all of your awesome comments on my last post. I always love to hear about your experiences, because everyone is different and different things work for different families. Goes to show…
