Not a bad view

I’ve been on a protein pancake kick lately. I realized they’re just as quick and easy to make as my beloved egg burrito, and keep me satisfied for a long time. This morning’s batch accidentally had about a tablespoon of baking powder, since I kind of stopped measuring things. I tapped the can a little…

7/8: Pics from the day

        I usually don’t include words with my pics from the day, but a couple of things: -Anyone awesome at photo walls? I’m thinking of adding a 5×7 (horizontal frame.. and pictures, haha) and painting the “H” brown, but let me know if you have any ideas! -The snack mix above is…

Slow cooker rotisserie chicken

It’s always hard to leave for work on Saturdays, when the Pilot and Oliv are home.   At the same time, it’s pretty amazing that they get a daddy-daughter day each week.  (Look at her face! “Yeah, just chillin’ in the pool with my daddy. You know”) Yesterday, while I was Zumba-ing, they spent the…

My skin is turning orange

Ok, salmon can’t really do that, but I’ve had a lot of it this week:  It’s funny because way back in the dieting days, I avoided fats (even healthy fats) like the plague. I like to think I’m making up for lost time. Not only do they taste amazing, but I notice a huge difference…

Roadtrip with a beeb

This past week’s trip to La Jolla was our first longer roadtrip with Liv. I was excited to see how it went, as Tom and I love to travel, and we also figured it would be a good test run for a trip later this month (which will be a flight instead of drive, but…

Vacay workouts

When I go out of town, my workout strategy varies, depending on what kind of trip it is and how I’m feeling. If the trip is for blog or work-related stuff, it’s pretty much like my normal schedule (whatever normal at the time may be), if it’s a family trip, I fit it in where…

Meg: Fashion Fears

The other night I bought my very first maxi dress. Maxi dresses have always been a fear of mine, a fashion fear that is. Other women (ahem…Gina) can rock a maxi incredibly well, but I always felt like they fit me funny and wouldn’t flatter my “pear” shape. Despite my fears, I couldn’t resist the…

Back from La Jolla

An amazing trip with two of my absolute favorite people <3 When we went to San Diego for our babymoon, we knew we wanted to come back as a family of three and stay in La Jolla. There are so many cute shops and restaurants along the beach (plus the seals!!)- everything is walking distance.…
