The Taco Man
There’s a man that drives around base in his taco truck, selling delicious Mexican meals. The truck plays the “Mexican Hat Song” as its horn (I couldn’t even make this stuff up), and the guys on base swarm around the taco truck like a grown-up version of the ice cream trucks of our youth. The…

Remember when I announced our pregnancy and said we had been wanting to get a pet goat? Well, we even had a name picked out for our future goat: Greta. <—best goat name everrrrr Anyway, we ended with an even better surprise of finding out we were pregnant and moved into our new house, with…

Turkey Treadmill Workout
Good morning, friends! Hope you’re having a Happy Monday. <3 I have a tabata treadmill workout below that you can breeze through in 20 minutes– perfect for this busy time of year! This is what happens when I don’t make dinner: That is a Pei Wei fail. See the shrimp? They’re brown and gnarly. I’d…

for a tour! Not the big day.. yet. Little lady still needs to cook for a few more weeks 😉 We met with a group of expecting parents to take a tour of the maternity ward, labor and delivery, and nurseries today at the hospital where our baby will be born. I wasn’t quite sure…

What a fabulously lazy Sunday We slept in and then met up with the fam at Millie’s Pancake House for breakfast. It’s pretty much the spot for brother’s breakfast, so the boys go there often, but I haven’t had a full meal there in years. Millie’s is a cute little place, and I love that…

I’m not-so-secretly afraid my water is going to break teaching Zumba. Can you imagine the horror? Shaking my booty in front of class when a waterfall of fluid hits the floor to Pitbull. I’d die. [Side note: the new lululemon Quick Step pant is my new fave. I like it even more than the Studio…

It’s a gorgeous day today. Slightly cloudy and cool, perfect to leave the door to the backyard open so Miss Bell can run amuck and ideal for the Tour de Tucson, which started this morning. El Tour de Tucson is a huge road cycling event, held the weekend before Thanksgiving, and as many as 9,000…

[Don’t be afraid to sing] I’m so glad to hear I wasn’t the only cranky pants today. Working out was exactly what the doctor ordered- I felt a thousand times better after some schweaty cardio and the holiday issue of Real Simple. Speaking of doctors, here’s my post-midwife appointment treat: Thanksgiving came early! I was…

-At least once a day, I’ll go into the nursery to smell the sweet baby smell of Dreft. [Hoping to have it finished by the end of next week!] Last weekend, I did a LOT of baby laundry… all of her bedding, little diapers 0-3 month clothes blankets, towels and washcloths are washed and ready…

I am a bit of a cranky pants today. Two nights ago, I hardly slept at all, and last night, I woke up twice and then again when the Pilot woke up. He always gets up an hour before me (5:45 and I’ll get up around 6:45), so usually I sleep until he leaves for…
Read More →The walk that wasn’t
Bella doesn’t even know what she missed out on. Whenever I ask her if she wants to go for a walk, she goes ccrrraazzzyy. She runs around, and as soon as she sees the harness, I have to catch her to actually put it on. She’s fine with the leash (and will even sit pretty…

It’s definitely back to the grind over here… [Egg sandwich + Larabar taken to work] and it feels good 🙂 I taught two classes (and assisted one) this morning, and am back home for a little lunch break before Zumba and Tubing. This is what it looks like.. when a refrigerator cries I scraped the…
