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…

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…

Behold, the sweet Ace bandage of belly-lifting justice. Sexy, no? I was seriously stoked when the belly support wrap I ordered via Amazon arrived on Monday. Of course, I couldn’t wait to take it out for a spin and see how it felt. The instructions were pretty intense, considering it’s a belly wrap, but I…

San Diego, which of course in German means…
you know the rest 😉 Last night was Bella’s dream night. We took her for a long walk at the park – which I especially enjoy since the Pilot and I can catch up on the day- and then to Frost for gelato. Vanilla for her: Pumpkin for him, and a peanut butter truffle for…

I’m obsessed with birth stories. I love reading them, learning the details of such a significant day in someone’s life, and am especially intrigued because everyone’s birth story is so different. I only know some of the details about the day I was born. Of course, I was late (a trait that has stayed with…

It had to happen. After posting about the dark chocolate almond milk yesterday, you guys started flooding my brain with amazing chocolaty almond suggestions. I knew it would be good in smoothies and baked goodies, but hadn’t even thought about heating it up to make hot chocolate or, as Vanessa suggested, steeping mint tea in…

Heyyyy <3 How was your Monday? Hope you had a wonderful day! After catching up on blogs, news (sending lots of love to Giuliana Rancic, whom I’ve always admired), and waking the Pilot up (he didn’t have to go in super early this morning), I made breakfast using two new-to-me ingredients. DARK CHOCOLATE almond milk…

This commercial made me cry. And then moments later, I checked my Facebook and had received a friend request from a recently born baby girl. Her parents set up an account for her so that distance friends and family could keep up with what she’s up to. I thought it was an awesome idea, since…

Good morning, friends! How are you? Hope you’re having a happy Monday <3 Last night, before meeting up with the fam for family dinner, we took a baby meal over to a friend’s house. In the squadron, whenever someone has a baby, the wives sign up to take baby meals every other night for the…

Greetings from the land of swollen ankles. We had a very busy, yet very fun-filled day, and after a full day of wearing tight stretchy jean crops, flats and being out in the sun, my ankles hate me. It’s the first time they’ve gotten really swollen, so I have my feet propped up, chugging water,…

Hi friends 🙂 How are you? Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday. This morning, we took a little trip to visit my great-nana. Last time we saw her, we promised we’d take my brothers with us, so today we delivered on our promise. We had fun talking and hanging out with nana, and after leaving, the…

Good morning! Happy Sunday <3 Hope you’re relaxing and enjoying the weekend. We slept in late today… and it felt glorious. Last night, one of the Pilot’s good friends was in Tucson, so I finally had the chance to meet him. It’s kind of a crazy story- the boys’ dads were in high school together…
