9/9: Thoughts from the week
-I thought breastfeeding could be painful at times, but that was until I recently saw one of our bird condo mamas feeding her young. Bird feeding is VIOLENT. I couldn’t help but feel bad for the mama, who had two birds intensely shoving their heads down her throat. (frozen in the act) -Speaking of breastfeeding,…

9/9: Weekly Meal and Fitness plan
Most nights of the week, especially if the Pilot is home, I look forward to making dinner. It’s a nice way to unwind from the day, and I’m usually excited to try out a new recipe. After a full day of work yesterday, and a fun afternoon with friends over watching the football game, I…

Oh hey, fall
I don’t know what’s happening here in Tucson, but it can stay. Lately, it’s been perfectly cool and cloudy. So gorgeous that Miss Bell has been walked every single day. I look forward to our evening walks with the fam, but when it’s too hot, it’s less likely to happen. (Babywearing is hot) Also in…

Apple Pear Ginger Saketini Recipe
Let’s have a cocktail, shall we? The last time I had a dinner party at the house, I was pregnant so didn’t get to partake in the libations. Now, girls’ nights are when the hubbies watch the babies and my friends and I will enjoy a cocktail together at a lounge or restaurant. When we…

Meg: What’s in my bag?
I spent my last day off this week cleaning up my embarrassingly messy room. In the process, I realized I had three different handbags full of…junk. I decided it was time to dump the junk and get organized! I think the easiest way to stay clutter free is to limit how often you switch handbags.…

Red-faced and Tabata Thursday
The Pilot is responsible for the sudden overpopulation of turtle doves in Tucson. Ever since he built the bird condo, we’ve had mama birds rotating in and out, and a constant outflow of sweet baby birds. Liv and I love to look at them when we take Bell outside in the morning. Bird house 4…
Read More →Review of the BOB Revolution SE
I was pretty sure that despite needing to upgrade to a toddler seat, the Orbit stroller was all we’d need. That is, until I found out that it’s unsafe to jog with a regular stroller (the plastic wheels don’t absorb shock or take bumps very well) and figured we’d probably need a jogging stroller. Tom…

“Three Great A’s” Pizza
Before Liv was a twinkle in our eyes, we talked about how we would introduce our children to the three great A’s: avocado, artichoke and asparagus. I’ve always wanted to combine them into a dish, but thought they might taste weird together. But pizza? You can put anything on a pizza. This combo was RIDICULOUS.…
