Moons and Showers

This morning the Pilot was admiring my growing (and now shaking and moving!) belly, and told me “I can’t believe you’re 6 months already.” “Um… I’m pretty much 30 weeks.” “So that’s 7 1/2 months? Ok, I feel better now. Because your arms and legs are still tiny, but this belly is like WHOMP” This…

From list to life

Happy Sunday! A little later blogging today, since we’ve spent the past 12 hours or so sleeping and bringing this list to life: Today I’m making a baby meal for a family and it’s also the Pilot’s b-day BBQ (his actual b-day is tomorrow). There’s going to be a piñata, so I’m thinking it will…

The whole canoodle

Look who I caught canoodling on the couch when I got home from work… So I did what anyone would do: cut in and stole her. Heh heh. She looks really happy about it 😉 Today was a doozy, but a good day. Breakfast and snack were frantically eaten in between classes (egg-rito, and later…

Brother’s Breakfast

Hey, everybody! This is the Pilot filling in for my lovely bride who has to teach fitness classes much later today (I figured she could use a break in the middle of 7 aerobic / stretch classes). Hope you’re enjoying your Saturday. As you’ve probably read, today’s usually my down day when I regroup from…

Piece of cakewalk

Tonight was a lovely night for a squadron party [the return of hogcorn!!! <—popcorn popped with jalapenos] and a fall festival. The best part? They had a petting zoo, and the Pilot and I got to pet and cuddle multiple goats.   If that’s not the best way to party on a Friday night, I’m…

Things I’ve learned [so far]

1. Baby clothes are so.stinking.cute. Way more fun than adult clothes, and wayyyy more fun than maternity clothes. 2. Letting go of control. Having this little baby kicking, growing and doing her thang, has really relaxed my type A personality. So many things are out of my control right now, and all I can do…

Pumping and needing iron

Someone hasn’t been able to start her day. She’s laying on the couch until she feels like fully waking up 😉 The Pilot and I slept in a little –he flew late again last night so I’ll stay up until he’s on the ground safe, and then hang out when he gets home- and then…

Found the power

I think I missed the boat on this one, but I still would like one of the obscenely large pumpkins that I keep seeing… [Shoe is in the photo for size reference] Did anyone out there pick up a giant pumpkin?? Maybe I’ll wait for next year, or maybe I’ll just go for it… After…

Sugary paradise

Breakfast looks normal…   but in reality, it was a sugary paradise. A little too sweet even, and I have a giant sweet tooth in the morning. It started out as chia pudding, but I added wayyy too much almond milk, so then I added some Sun Warrior, which didn’t help with the texture… and…

Quality control

One of the perks about making goodies for other people? Making sure they taste ok 😉 [Side note: roon with almond butter may be the most insane combo ever] Sending roons for the giveaway winner + a batch to an unsuspecting reader tomorrow! Today at work was my lucky day. I got to assist 3…
