8/6: Pics from the day
“Firefly with me…
let’s sangria away…” Yes, “sangria” is a verb now. We had an AMAZING dinner at Firefly, a tapas restaurant, last night. Last time I had tapas, I was kind of disappointed. The portions were supposed to be shared, yet ridiculously tiny (like one wonton with a little tuna on top) and we all left hungry…
Read More →Vegas is our oyster
We’re in Vegas, baby. My first time staying off the strip, and my first time traveling with Liv on an airplane by myself. It was a little bit of a gamble and I knew it would either go extremely well.. or extremely rough. Like the Pilot said, though, it’s an hour flight and I could…

Oliv and I are leaving for Las Vegas right now. It’s going to be the first plane trips of many with just the two of us, so I’m anxious/excited/scared to see how it goes. It’s been her worst week of teething yet, so please pray for me. Or better yet, pray for the people on…
Read More →Meg: Hair Salad
I have a veeery interesting recipe to share with you. This isn’t a delicious Fitnessista recipe…it’s a salad dressing…for your head. Here’s the back-story: My ends have been incredibly dry this summer. I don’t abuse my heat tools and I haven’t been in the pool very much lately but they are sad and crispy. I…

Reader’s Request: Eat Clean On-the-Go
Thanks to a reader’s request, I’ve got some great tips to help you eat clean on-the-go below. One of those tips: Leftovers! I love leftovers for many reasons, mostly because 99% of the time I can throw them in a skillet, add a couple of eggs = breakfast. For dinner last night, I used this beautiful…

Liv’s favorite soup
Blogging from bed- still feeling a little under the weather, but still fighting it with everything I’ve got. (gotta love the baby bangs- after my post-baby hair loss, it’s on it’s way back) The only thing that really sounds good: Soup… and coffee. Oh, and chocolate. I have no idea why I don’t make soup…
Read More →Whitney: Work to Yoga
I miss wearing lycra everyday to work. No scratch that, that’s a lie, I actually don’t miss that as I would gain and lose weight all the time because everything stretches. That’s a whole-notha-story. And if you’re wondering I worked for lululemon forever and as much as you would think wearing workout gear everyday would…
Read More →10 Ways to Make August Amazing + Calendar Info
I love August. It’s still dang hot here, but it’s the month I married my husband, so it always brings lots of warm fuzzies and happy memories. Last year, I started doing these “10 Ways…” posts, took a break for Winter Shape Up, did the same for Summer Shape Up (which was my favorite one…
Read More →Tomato tea and massahhhhhhhge
Most of my meals today have been out of a bowl. First, this morning’s oats, and then this afternoon’s stellar sniffle remedy. Tomato tea! Whenever I start to feel under the weather, I usually try to fight it by upping my fruit and veggie intake, fresh juices (Liv and I made a Whole Foods run…
Read More →Daytime sweat sesh
Guess what?! I joined a gym yesterday. I’m so, so excited to have an option where I can go work out (and even take a class!) during the day. By time time the Pilot gets home at night, I do the bedtime rituals with Liv, make/prep dinner, blog and go to the gym, I’m pretty…

Lemon-mint lentil salad
I have a not-so-secret for you: I love salads. They are so many possible ingredients, they’re super filling, and an easy way to get in fruit and veggie servings. I prefer making them at home because restaurant salads are often sad, small and wilty. With at-home salads, you can control how sweet/savory/iceberg lettuce-free and beastly…
