Out with a bang + party apps, cocktails

Can you believe that Monday is New Years eve?! What do you have planned? I think we’re going to spend the day relaxing and then head to a family/friend party later that night. Since little miss will be a pumpkin by about 8pm or so (even though she stayed awake until 9 on Christmas Eve),…

Meg: Winter Lip Care DIY

Lip scrub can be the key to helping your winter-dry lips when lip balm on its own isn’t cutting it. Here’s a simple, homemade lip scrub that you can keep on hand to use in a pinch. Perpetually chapped lips are something I have always dealt with. Even armed with a medicated chap stick, I…

Dinner and a movie

Tonight, I did something I haven’t done in over a year: went to the movies! We’ve become huge fans of the red box and Netflix over the past year, and I’ve been fully convinced that if you put me in a dark theatre, I’d be asleep faster than you can say “narcoleptic.” But, I stayed…

The switcheroo

We’re most likely going to be switching Liv into her big girl room. It’s sooner than planned and maybe can picture the excitement on my face. (It looks like a sad face.) Of course this is a “problem” that’s not really a problem, but it’s on my mind lately so I thought I’d share. Since…

First Christmas with Liv

I’m pretty sure nothing in the world makes me happier than A house filled with the people I love so much, warm food waiting in the kitchen, (+ egg casserole, ham, tamales, oatmeal, mimosas and the necessary nog) and moments that are so beautifully imprinted in my mind. After the Pilot, Liv, MIL and I…

Red and green and plaid all over

Before setting off for Christmas Eve dinner and festivities, we took a family hike at Sabino Canyon. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the streams were running from the recent rain, and it felt nice to shake our legs out while enjoying beautiful scenery. After our adventure, we met up with the cousins for our annual…

Every time I see that Gina received another Stitch-Fix box, I can’t WAIT to see what they picked for her! I’ve been pretty obsessed with the idea of Stitch-Fix and will, without a doubt, be purchasing a subscription soon! I know everyone will be busy soon opening gifts and playing with new presents, but after…

12/22: Meals and Fitness for the week

I continue to be awestruck at how things have come full circle. Like the fact that I was walking around Winterhaven (aka riding the trolley) last year, with a giant pregnant belly: and found myself a year later, in the same spot, with the baby we so badly wanted to meet. I thought I’d eventually…
