The Bird House
When we were feeling domestic the other day, the Pilot picked up a hummingbird feeder, since we had quite a few different bird feeders in Valdosta. It’s been really successful. I came downstairs the other morning, and a HUGE turtle dove was eating out of the hummingbird feeder. I hope that’s ok? All of the…
Read More →Warm up to the main event
When a baby started growing in my belly, my brain disappeared to make room. I locked us all out of the house this morning. That’s a half-smile. I felt horrible 🙁 I always check the bottom handle of the door to make sure it isn’t locked, and today was the one time I didn’t. Thank…

Hot Mess HIIT Workout
Come over to my house and I will greet you with the finest culinary creations. Marisa came over to hang out for a little while yesterday, and since I still hadn’t done a grocery haul, we made almond butter and jelly for a snack. It was delicious 😉 Nana came over later in the afternoon…
Read More →Focus On: Video Game Fitness
For a while, the only video game action our house saw was Call of Duty- the Pilot is a fan 😉 And then, the lovely representatives from Microsoft were so kind to send a couple of fitness video games that I might enjoy, along with an Xbox Kinect. I very rarely accept products from companies…

Homemade Strawberry Sports Drink
Enjoy this homemade strawberry sports drink to hydrate before or after a workout. At a bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, they have the best infusions…fresh fruit soaking in vodka, which tastes dangerously like candy. That’s all I can remember to tell you about those drinks. This strawberry infusion is a little bit healthier, and will help…
Read More →Colored denim and printed wedges
When I first saw colored denim last spring, I thought to myself “I’m glad the trend will be gone by next year.” Nope. Here we are again and colored denim is more popular than it was last year. Same thing with skinny jeans… I fought the trend forever because I thought they were horribly unflattering,…

Oh, hey Monday. You sneak up on us so quickly 😉 Since I’m on another breakfast kick (eating the same thing everyday until I get sick of it) let’s talk about inspiration. Yesterday was the day of the half marathon that I thought I’d be walk/running. It was fun to have a specific fitness event…

11 week sleep routine
[My last post about sleep for a while, I promise! It’s a valuable commodity, though, and wish I would have read more about sleep routines and tips while I was pregnant] It still mystifies me that babies fight sleep. Someone tells me to go to sleep… um, twist my arm. Goodnight 😉 Even though we…
Read More →Shorts weather,
I commend you. It was such a gorgeous day that we ended spending a lot of it outside and things got all kinds of domestic over here. The Pilot worked on the yard I planted some herbs… that I will eventually kill Livi was napping or chilling with us on the patio, and Bella enjoyed…

Land of bees and honey
A lovely, lazy Saturday over here <3 Breakfast on the patio: a Bella in the sun: and a blooming orange tree, which is making our entire backyard smell like honey. The bees also recently discovered this, but we’re leaving them alone for now and letting them enjoy their pollen fun. Random tip: dish soap mixed…
Read More →3/23: Thoughts from the week
Another long, but at the same time too short, amazing week <3 -Friday has become Eclectic Cafe day with the girls over here. Two weeks ago, we met Kelly, Meara and their babies, last week it was Meg and Marisa, and today with Cheri. We usually sit on the patio, Liv either snoozes on me,…
