Friday faves
The return of the breakfast cookie. We had them for breakfast the other day, and needless to say, Liv was stoked that she had A COOKIE FOR BREAKFAST. She ate almost the entire thing! I’m so excited to bring these back in the rotation because they’re so convenient to make the night before. The reason…

Rise and shine, it’s giveaway time! As you guys know, I’ve fallen in love with Barre3 workouts over the past year. A studio is opening up in Tucson very soon -in the meantime, check out their free Saturday classes at lululemon in La Encantada!- and I was stoked to see that they have a studio…

Spring fitness faves
Hi! How’s your day going? Thank you so much for all of the kind comments about the house so far. I have to admit I was a liiiittle afraid of the paint color -we jokingly called our last house the everything-brown house- but have fallen in love with how cheery and crisp the white walls…

We’re in this in-between phase between nursery and toddler room, and still haven’t switched her to a toddler or twin bed. My philosophy has been, “If it ain’t broke, don’t mess with it” regarding her…

Vintage flair
I bought this dress over a year ago and have had yet to wear it. I was *waiting* to have it tailored -it was only $6 at a thrift store, so I thought it would be nice to have it fitted and hemmed a little- and when I finally took it in, my brusque…

“The crunch” chopped salad with homemade Ranch dressing
I originally had a sweets recipe planned for today, but since I think we’re all still swimming in chocolate eggs from yesterday, how ’bout a salad to balance everything out? This is my latest salad fave and I will eat it until forever. By “forever” I mean until I burn myself out and am onto…
