Living in my coin belt
The past 24 hours have been filled with dancing- not a bad way to start a weekend. Last night, my work friends and I performed our bellydance at an event downtown. (Katie and I wearing normal clothes over our costumes. The legit bellydancers had sparkly coverups and tunics.. this is how we rolled) It was…

Mornings at our house {video}
It’s funny because as soon as things feel like a routine, everything changes. Even though the order of events have been about the same since the first week (eat, activity, sleep all the way- thank you, Baby Whisperer), our little morning rituals have changed and become even more fun as she’s grown. Back in the…

Tips for DOMS and Friday Faves
It’s been quite a while since I’ve tried anything dramatically new or intense -preparing to get pregnant, being pregnant and recovering is a pretty long stint to keep things lower key- so I’m the most sore I’ve been in a long time. From all of the pull-ups I did -and they were modified, but it’s…

Pinterest: inspiration or intimidation?
The other night, when I finished that one crazy intense workout, I knew I had something glorious waiting for me: Dinner at the madre’s. It usually takes a little while for the hunger to kick in after a hard workout, but the second I walked in the door, I was ready. The entire family was…

9/12: What I Ate Wednesday
Last time I posted an entire day of eats, I got a few requests to make it a regular thing. While it was fun, taking care of Liv and photographing my many snack/meals is a bit of a tricky combo. Plus… well, you’ll see. Some of the things I eat are not very pretty to…

Meg: What to wear on a rainy day
Tucson’s weather gets two GIANT thumbs up from me this week. Not only did it rain several days in a row, the temperatures are slowly dropping. To Tucsonans, 88 degree highs are a gift from above! I had some packages to ship and some thrifting to do today and since it was raining, I wanted a…

First time at CrossFit
Hi! Thank you again to Garmin for the fantastic giveaway opportunity and to all of you for the wonderful entries. So many of them touched my heart, and a few brought me to tears. You all have amazing stories to tell, and I was so inspired to read of your reasons to be active. Even on my toughest…

8 months
Exploring, crawling, trying-to-walk, little lovebug. It’s definitely much more challenging to take the monthly pictures now! Here are 8 things about 8 months: 1) Liv figured out how mobile she can be, and rarely wants to be held while we’re at home. I wrote about how I’ve become a little bit of a helicopter and…

Taking a moment this morning to remember 9/11. A beautiful tribute (warning: watching/listening leads to dinosaur cry): (the actual video starts at 0:48) Sending love and prayers to those who were affected and continue to be affected by this tragedy today <3 I hope that deployed service members come back soon and safely, and…

Practice 10k + a giveaway- ENDED
Practice 10k COMPLETE! (not pushing the jogging stroller, though. The Pilot walked with Liv since he has a PT test tomorrow and wanted to have fresh legs) I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to do it, but my killer playlist got me through. Even with the steep Sabino incline and a walk break…

Meg: Etsy Love
The last few days I’ve been feeling very under the weather. It’s only gotten worse this weekend, so I’m going to leave you all with some fall-inspired Etsy goods that have caught my eye recently. Hope you don’t mind! If you haven’t shopped on Etsy, you’re in for a real treat. Individual sellers list unique…

Back to “om”
I love Sundays. Especially ones filled with family brunches, getting chores checked off the list, and spending time with the people I love. Sunday flowers: We ended up doing a lot yesterday, and when I went to upload pics from the day.. there were only three. One of Bella patiently waiting for a green bean…
