Slow cooker shredded Mexican chicken

A glass of wine and jammies = pretty much the best way to cap off a Monday night. Or any night, really. When are you too old to wear the PINK collection? Actually, don’t answer that. Some other highlights from the day: –The Schweaty May workout   Mom came over in the afternoon to hang…

Review: Advanced TurboFire DVDs

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of “the fiyah.” I just love workouts that can be done at home with minimal space and equipment- I’m always looking for ways to spice up my at-home fitness routine. Some faves are: Zuzana ZWOW workouts (I used to LOVE BodyRock, but since she left I’m not…

Next wrap step

Since Livi was born, I have loved being able to wear her in the Moby and Baby K’tan. In the beginning, that’s the only place she would nap, and I loved feeling her soft baby snores on my chest. (she was only 3 weeks old in that picture!) There are so many benefits of babywearing:…

Sparkling Lemonade Iced Tea

Sparkling lemonade iced tea is a refreshing drink to cool off with as we head into these warmer months. It’s sweetened with Stevia, so you can enjoy a sweet drink without the sugar rush.  I had an amazing weekend with amazing people, and I’m also wicked sore from teaching on Saturday. My biceps are killing me!…

A little too lifelike

Look who scared the life out of me: At work, they’re always adding new decor, and that statue is newest addition around the corner by the water fountain. I thought it was a real, nekkid man and it frightened me a little. World beat was a lot of fun this morning. The drummers and my…

Good karma

Sometimes it feels so good to hang around the house in jammies and do nothing. Since the Pilot was off work yesterday, I was happy to celebrate a slow day with him 🙂 He let me sleep in and then I took care of Livi while he took a long morning nap. Around 12, we…

4 month PDB

Every night during my last time pumping before bed, I pin things on Pinterest and lurk Facebook. It’s my “waste time on the computer” 20 minutes of the day, and while perusing around last night, I saw this. (It was on the “Sexually Deprived for Your Freedom!” page, to which I’m a proud “liker”) And…

Schweaty May Workout

Thursday! Almost the weekend, night of our work dance recital and the Pilot’s last workday before his long weekend – I’m a fan of that 🙂 I don’t have anything to exciting to show you on the food front, besides the things I didn’t make: (Stevia sparkling lemonade! So refreshing… I can’t wait to make…

What a great opportunity to venture outside of your comfort zone and try new things! Mixing patterns and textures is a trend that has been happenin’ for quite some time, and I adore it. Some…
