Happy Father’s Day
They say that you fall in love with your husband in a new way when you watch him become a dad. While “they” have lied to me about quite a few things (“You get used to the lack of sleep when you have a newborn” baha), I knew this one was true the second it…

Happy Friday! Anything exciting happening this weekend? I can’t wait to get back to the Pilot and Liv this morning.

Musical Cardio Workout
Morning! How’s your day going? We replenished a small amount of the weights stash last night. Pretty much everything made it here to San Diego without a hitch, but we’ve been unable to track down my dumbbells. My 35 lb kettlebell made it, along with my jump rope and spin bike, but I like having…

Like a good Sunday meal
Sunday night dinners are undoubtedly a favorite weekly ritual. The weather has been positively dreamy, so we’ve been eating out on the patio, and the Pilot does most of the cooking since he’s the grill master. (the dogs sit by the grill like a couple of chicken creepers.) Last night was even better for a…

Berry Lemon Chia Jam
I started a new thing where if we’re out of something, I’ll try to make it from scratch. This doesn’t work for the obvious staples (like eggs. We go through 172 each week), but little things like almond butter and jam. Berry Lemon Chia Seed Jam One night, I was packing Livi’s lunch up for…

We can’t get her out of the water now 🙂 More gorgeous scenery: Giant organic and local berries from Costco: And flatbreads, purchased because the sample guy wouldn’t stop feeding us. The sweet jalapeño spread may be…

Protein pancakes without the protein powder
Hi guys! How’s your morning been? A little later post today. I spent a lot of the am getting ready (aka cramming) for my first practice barre class at the studio where I’ll be teaching. The good news is that we have freedom to design our routines, but we do a set order for each…
