Banana Split Protein Shake
This is the reason why I never make oats in the microwave: OATSPLOSION! No matter what I do, how long I cook it for, how much water I add… it always ends up being time to clean the microwave. I was willing to make the sacrifice and try out these new-to-me oats: the half that…

After almost four years, Pinkie, my beloved laptop is on the verge of biting the dust. We had a long life together <3 First my keyboard started being temperamental –I have to turn the battery switch on and off to get it to type, which only does the trick sometimes and today, the wireless card…

Zumba, how did I miss thee? Let me count the ways: 1. The loud music made my heart sing 2. It felt good to bellydance sans a giant belly 3. Sometimes a girl’s gotta shake her booty to a wicked reggaeton and the list goes on. My friend Melissa taught class, and even though I’m…

It’s been wayyyyy too long since we’ve had ‘chokes in the house: (Each little leaf dipped into Goddess dressing.. amazing) Last night, I grabbed some groceries (finally!), we had a couple of drinks: and the Pilot cooked up an amazing feast. The artichokes above Alexia sweet potato chipotle fries and perfect turkey burgers. I have…

-Every morning when I get dressed, I keep in mind that I will be wearing purple for most of the day 😉 Might be time to invest in another Moby.. ours gets used all the time –Tom likes to wear her in the Ergo instead- but it will be nice to have a backup when…

Oh hey, weekend. (I’m not sure what kind of flowers those are.. or how long it will be before they’re brown and crispy) So nice to see you again! Since I’m not back at work yet, the weekend is similar to the rest of the week, but way better with the Pilot home. We have…

This is what can happen when you eyeball a baked goodie recipe: While we were at the store, I grabbed the ingredients to make more of Heather’s fabulous oaties (including regular unsalted butter. I still don’t understand why they make salted butter in the first place, and why I always buy it by mistake). After…

After staying away from Teavana for quite a while –it’s an expensive habit, and I like my teas from Sunflower Market just as much- we made a little caffeine stop today. Bzzzzz After a night of high hopes with the swaddling, she busted out of her swaddle every hour or so, screaming like an angry…

Flowers vino and a pizza picnic with three valentines (a baby, a man and a creature). How lucky does a girl get? 🙂 Hope that you had a fabulous night, too! This morning’s bfast was one of the usual suspects: (egg puff sandwich with greens, goat cheese and hummus, with strawberries and tea) I…

6 years ago, Bella was a Valentine’s Day gift from the Pilot. Same sassy face, 6 years later: We had gone to look at puppies one weekend, and I knew Bell was the one, so we decided to go back the following weekend. She came from a family here in Tucson –none of whom spoke…

We have a little Houdini on our hands…. lovely likes to bust outta her swaddle. (We like the Aden + Anais blankets- super soft and very light fabric) Swaddling is one of those things that always mystified me while I was pregnant –it seemed like putting a baby in a straightjacket- but after watching “Happiest…
