Take it or leave it: the cape
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…

Grow baby, grow! 22 weeks: 24 weeks: My belly continues to grow –it’s funny to look back at earlier pictures when I thought my belly was soooooo big- and the baby continues to move and shake around.. it’s amazing. I could lay on the couch and feel her kick for hours, and sometimes there’s a…

Hey! How are you? Hope your morning is going well <3 I slept last night. Like, all night, through the night. If you’ve been following along on the family page, then you know this is a pretty huge deal. Maybe it has to do with the fact that our new mattress came yesterday? Bella called…

Hiiiii 😀 How are ya? Hope you had a lovely day <3 Enjoyed reading your comments this morning about budgeting! Some of you are totally on the budget bandwagon, while others, like the college days Gina, just go with the flow 🙂 Don’t let budgets stress ya out though- it can be intimidating at first,…

I’ve definitely created a monster with the whole baby book thing. I’ve read so many, and continue to read as many as I can. Like I said before, I definitely won’t know what to *really* do or what works for our family until the little Nuggette makes her appearance, but in the meantime, I like…

Breaking in the new budget
Hiiiiii 😀 Happy Monday to ya. Hope your morning is going well! After I last *saw* you last night, we went over to the madre’s for my stepdad’s bday dinner. My contribution to the feast: Mashed sweet potatoes 🙂 I just baked about 12 organic sweet potatoes at 375* for an hour and 15 minutes,…

Hi friends <3 How are you? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. Thank you so much for your awesome feedback on this morning’s post. I wasn’t sure if this would happen, but I did end up getting a handful of comments that were political in nature. I do not discuss politics or religion on the…
Read More →“That won’t happen to me”
Back in the day, I would hear about pregnancy symptoms and ailments and just think to myself “oh, that won’t happen to me.” Now that these things are all actually happening… it’s actually kind of funny to think I could avoid it. Some of them aren’t too shabby (like my dry skin) and some are…
Read More →Staycation
Hi friends! How’s your night going? We’re on a little staycation 😀 Back in May, I grabbed up a LivingSocial deal for a one-night resort getaway –thought it would be something fun for the Pilot and I to do- and we discovered that it expired on Monday. Couldn’t let it go to waste, so we…
