NEW Arm Burner

Welp, we ended up at Urgent Care with the Pilot and his twisted ankle.  The good news is that it wasn’t busy at all, the Pilot has a pair of crutches, and Liv was a champ, even though it was past her bedtime. She had her first real dose of a movie- they were playing…

{meat}loafing around

Instead of my 4-miler, we had a bit of a fiasco. We were at Sabino Canyon and the Pilot twisted his ankle walking in from the parking lot. The poor guy has been hobbling around the house, and will probably have to make a doc visit soon :/  He offered to take Liv home and…

Meg: 5 Things

 I wrote my last “5 Things” post in the beginning of what would end up being an extremely toasty summer. 2012 has been a busy year and it is amazing to see where I was a mere 3 months ago compared to now! Back in June I was recovering from my last marathon of college…

Cheesy Broccoli Egg Muffins

This little guy was the highlight of our night last night.  I saw the huge wagon of pumpkins outside Trader Joe’s, and tried to restrain myself because I feel like the overexcitement of pumpkin-flavored-everything taints the specialness of it. I felt like I should wait, similar to the Christmas decoration overload in October. I get…

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…
