Heyyyyy 😀 How are ya? Hope your weekend is wrapping up nicely. Flowers for the week: “Pumpkin trees”!! So insanely cute. When I saw that at Trader Joe’s in the flowers section, I thought they were fake. Nope- real baby pumpkins (or pumpkin lookalikes?) SO fun and Halloweenie. We were animals today. The Pilot tackled…

Last night we had an amazing time at the foodball game, sharing nachos minus cheese (aka chips with lots of jalapenos) and lemonade, chatting with our friends, and cheering on the cats. [For me, I just cheer when everyone else cheers] One thing I did notice in our squadron was the lack of friends who…

I’m a fan
Hey! Happy Sunday <3 Hope you’re relaxing and chilling 🙂 Last night’s shenanigans were a lot of fun. I couldn’t stay at the bridal shower for very long, since I had to meet everyone at the game, but all of the girls from work were there and an amazing spread of food was set out.…

I had to re-schedule my acupuncture appointment for today. With everything going on, I didn’t think I’d be able to lay there, focus and relax for an entire hour. I kind of had a feeling it was going to be a weird day because I started off the morning by punishing myself and watching a…

Reader’s Request: Fave Quinoa Uses
Morning! It’s almost the weekend! Kind of stoked 🙂 The chipotle black bean soup was actually a success, even though I went a little cray cray with the chiles. [Recipe is in the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook. I added 2 chipotle chiles instead of 1/2 t, and also a whole head of garlic.. because if…

Hi friends! How are ya? Hope you’ve had a lovely day <3 Soups on over here: It’s chipotle black bean soup from the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook, except I didn’t follow the recipe.. and probably should have. Let’s just say that someone got a little overzealous with the chipotle chiles (<—I LOVE this ingredient). It…

I always get really excited for fall fashion. It’s kind of funny because we don’t even have a real “fall” here in Tucson. Heck, it’s 93* degrees today. It’s fun to wish though :/ However, it doesn’t get that cold here until later in the winter, so I end up spending most of winter in…
Read More →Focus On: Bodyrock
Bodyrock is another one of my major workout loves. It’s an extremely effective low-cost workout solution –the videos are posted for free and you need minimal equipment- and I think it’s what helped me bust through my own workout plateau. Before I got pregnant, I felt STRONG and my bodyfat was the lowest it’s been…
