Red and green quinoa lentil salad
I’m going to go ahead and blame my tiredness on the weather. 46* and raining all day. That’s gotta be it. Almost every day this week, around 6 pm, I’ve hit a wall. I’ve done a pretty good job fighting through it, but as far as cooking/dinner goes, it’s been a little rough. Lots…

-I think the baby has definitely dropped. Everyone else seems to have noticed this too (“I don’t think you’re going to make it until your due date!” I don’t either but I’ll have to laugh if I go to 41 weeks without any sign of labor), since the little one used to be snuggled up…

Trader Joe’s copycat cookie butter (gluten-free)
Dear Trader Joe’s, I’m already addicted to your nut butters. I take a daily almond butter dip no matter what, and I don’t understand why you needed to come out with all of the crazy combos that I have to try. And I guess you came out with a chocolate almond butter, too? Well, that…

Hi friends! How was your humpday? It was a beautiful day over here (look at that sunset!), even though it was quite sad to hear that the Pilot’s family cat, Sam is onto greener pastures. He was 19 years old!!! We’ll miss you, buddy <3 The Pilot and I got to spend a little quality…

The day I changed my major from Musical Threate to Finance, something changed with my personality. Anything that I wasn’t forced to practice and perform (singing, public speaking) on a regular basis… died. I was still dancing and teaching at the studio, so that wasn’t a problem, but class presentations became something I dreaded instead…

Verdict on the car front: negative. It needs about 7 things done in the nearish future (3 are immediate), so looks like we’ll be getting the necessary stuff fixed and trading in Betty this weekend. Thank you for the SUV suggestions! They were so helpful and I’ll be sure to let you know what we…

I’ve definitely eaten more pie and sweets in the 3rd trimester than any other. What can I say? ‘Tis the season and baby likes those treats! [mom made gf brownies… I love her] At the same time, I’m still focused on getting as many nutrient-dense foods as possible, since her brain is going through…

We found out Christmas lights are a major to-do in our neighborhood. We’re really happy with how our interior decorations came out –so festive!- and the Pilot put up Christmas lights for the first time. He did an amazing job, and we have a single strand of sparkly lights on the roof. I was in…

This morning, I posted a little gift guide on the main page, but thought it would be fun to do a smaller one for moms-to-be and new mamas. Here are some of the ideas I came up with: 1.) A chic diaper bag or tote This Kate Spade one is on sale today for $179..…

Let’s be real here. I publish these gift guides every year (here’s last year’s and last year’s for the dudes), but we all know that I don’t actually start Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve. I love the rush 😉 (I love wrapping, too!) That being said, I do love to plan out what I’m going…

Guess who I got to kiss today?! Viesa! I was so excited to see her furry face. We went over to hang out with little Meg, my doula friend (Viesa’s new mom) and her family, so we got to cuddle Vies the whole time we were there. Love it <3 Of course, when we got…
