Meg: Five Things
It has been a little bit since my last ‘Five Things’ post, and I have some fun things to share with you! This is definitely more of a winter-themed ‘Five Things’, despite Tucson’s 80-degree weather. I know those of you living places not lacking winter weather are rolling your eyes, but it doesn’t feel like…

Vegan brown rice pudding
Wrap my soul in a rice pudding blanket? Don’t mind if I doooooooooo. For someone who has a strong memory, my brain has become a little fuzzy over time. As much as I wish I could, I don’t remember every single Christmas. There are a few that stick out vividly in my mind, and little…

12/2: Meals and Fitness for the week
Since I’ve been doing distance runs once a week for half marathon training, every Sunday I wonder if my body will “know” how to run. Like, I’ll remember last week’s 10-miler (about half pushing the jogging stroller) and think to myself: there is no way I can run 10 miles. I just did it! Does…

Namaste November Re-cap + a new challenge!
I have to admit that I’m not a huge Phoenix fan…. until I get there. It’s silly because Phoenix has way more to offer as far as restaurants and shopping go, but Tucson still has a lot to choose from with the smaller, more intimate feeling of a small town. (Whole Foods seems to have…

In the spirit + Friday Faves
Everyone is in the holiday spirit in our house, especially Bella with her snowflake bandana. We decked the halls the other night, and it always feels so good to take out our ornaments after they’ve been packed away. Last year was incredibly sentimental because when we’d previously packed them up, we had no idea where…
