Vino and carne

Can we just take a moment here? Two of my favorite things EVER (chocolate and vino) had a lovechild. And it is a delicious lovechild. To be honest, it was a little on the sweet side, but it didn’t stop me from having a hefty glass with the fam. Think of it like wine Bailey’s.…

Leftover love

Favorite things to do with our 6-month old

and guess what? They don’t cost a thing. -Tickle her hair while she drinks her bottle. She used to do it herself while nursing or drinking her bottle, and now that she can hold her bottle, I tickle her hair for her. -Take Bell for a walk. This has been a little trickier since it’s…

Stormy weather

It just started raining, thundering and lightning… not bad weather to write a blog post (take a nap, watch a movie, drink hot tea.. or all of the above). (I tried to get a good picture of the raindrops, but instead all you can really see is our play set that should be condemned) Before…

The end. -Hopefully today will be my last day…

Volcanooooooooo

Dinner at our house has been pretty chill the past couple of nights. Since there have been at least 10 people eating at any one time (my family is huge!), we’ve just been setting out different meal components, building plates and munching as we please. When I got home from work, my mom, nana and…

Quick hummus and veggie pizza

i think they’re definitely related 😉 Our aunt, uncle, and cousins got in from Key West last night, and since then, our house has been bustling with familia. I love it so much. It’s amazing to look at the girls and see their ranging ages- almost like having a glimpse into the future. Since they…

Focus On: BOSU Balance Trainer

 The BOSU freaked me out for a long time. I knew it was kind of like a stability ball, but I didn’t want to use it and look like a giant goober. Instead, whenever I saw someone else use the BOSU, I watched intently to see if I could learn any new moves. The standards:…
