Is it weird to think you and the pilot will be known as “dad” and “mom” or “Olivia’s dad/Olivia’s mom” from now on? That dynamic has always been really interesting to me… How do you make sure you still maintain that you’re your own person and not just someone’s mom? I know that having that title is something one would take great pride and joy in, but for your own health and sanity in the long run, that’s what really gets me thinking sometimes- about that gentle balance. The picture of the pilot and her labeled “dad and livi” got me thinking:) Also, how does that affect how you view your significant other? Seeing them as a dad/mom instead of just your lovebug, you know?:) Ah, a post for another day I assume!
that’s why i think it’s really important to keep doing the things you love and maintain contact with your friends. i still see a lot of my single friends, workout, and work part-time because those are things i enjoy and help me feel like me. it’s challenging to take time for yourself, but i think it’s crucial to keep your identity.
i label pics like that because they go in a folder for liv- this way, if she wants to find a pic of herself with “dad” it will be easier than searching for “hottie with our baby” ๐
1 – Livi is ADORABLE.. too freakin cute and 2 – Bella is hilarious! Is she rolling around scratching her own back? Dogs manipulate and twerk their bodies crazily when doing that!
Aww, super cute pictures! I finally tried your breakfast cookie this morning and I have no idea what took me so long — it’s delicious! It’s by far my favorite cold oats recipie!
Is it possible to make a smoothie ahead of time to bring to work and have at some point during the day? Can’t make them at the office, but would love to have a mid-day smoothie sometimes without going to a store and buying one. Just curious if anyone has tried this or has this problem of smoothies and their workplace?
Hi Gina
I add xanthan gum to my smoothie and it stays emulsified for a few hours so I can have it after my workout!
Great family pictures and love your comment back about being “labeled”.
yes! you just have to get a GOOD insulated thermos…i have a good one (VEGA sent it to me and i cannot find it for sale online to save my life but i am sure there are other good ones out there). i literally put this thing in my swim bag –in tucson–and right after my workout shake it up (because i think they will inevitably separate a bit) and it is pretty good to go, with fruit, veggies, vega and all!
Love it….. so positive, so affirming and so much fun! On an amazing journey and glad I found you while on it!
My goodness she’s ADORABLE!!!!!!
thank you! she was screaming with happiness when i took that pic. she cracks me up ๐

A trip to Home Goods. Am I right? LOVE that store!
Hot pilot+laughing baby= Perfection
And look at Bella. What a little ham!
Liv is such a doll!!!!!!! ๐
BEAUTIFUL baby!!!
I think you have mentioned this before but, what type of camera do you use when not using the iphone to take pics? I seriously need an upgrade!
Love the daddy/Livi photo! ๐
Cute pics. Liv is one gorgeous baby!!

Gahh love the pic! It looks like the Pilot is fake biting Liv and she just loves it!

Livi is SOOO cute and I love that pic of Bell…reminds me of my dog. ๐ Is she scratching her back, or sleeping like that? haha
You are such an adorable family!!!! Love that picture of Livi!!! What a happy baby ๐
This is my favourite pic of Olivia!!! How cute is she?!
Livi- you are gorgeous. Gina- how did you make that fish? Looks good and healthy.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the last two pics!
She is just beautiful.
Great shots! Livi’s eyes are so huge, beautiful <3
That is the cutest picture of Livi! I love the expressions that babies make! ๐
Such a fun photo!!
Please tell me what did you put in those Chilequiles???
i didn’t make them- eclectic cafe did. and WOW. they were awesome!

i’ve made them in advance before, but they separate and get kind of gross. i drink it anyway, but it’s not the same. anyone else have tips?
