Dog beach and weekend pics
Bella is OBSESSED with the dog beach. She runs into the surf, sprints back, and for the time we’re there, she seems like she’s a young pup, instead of pushing nine like she really is. (She’s always pretty spry, but it’s like the ocean brings out her youth even more.) Friday afternoon after the Pilot…

A couple Livi-isms, a short vid, and fave bilingual children’s books
“Mama, may I have this dance?” “I don’t like Ursula. She’s not my favorite.” (At random, multiple times throughout the day) “Can I have coffee? I’m two.” (I told her she couldn’t have coffee until she’s 21) A short video of her singing: “I want to read Margarita.” Livi is used to hearing…

The return of the breakfast cookie. We had them for breakfast the other day, and needless to say, Liv was stoked that she had A COOKIE FOR BREAKFAST. She ate almost the entire thing! I’m so excited to bring these back in the rotation because they’re so convenient to make the night before. The reason…

Spring fitness faves
Hi! How’s your day going? Thank you so much for all of the kind comments about the house so far. I have to admit I was a liiiittle afraid of the paint color -we jokingly called our last house the everything-brown house- but have fallen in love with how cheery and crisp the white walls…

Veg intimidation: make kale taste delicious
Last week we talked about artichokes. Today, let’s talk one of the world’s favorite (kinda stinky) greens: KALE! Kale is a nutrient-packed powerhouse and yields some fantastic dietary benefits including iron, Vitamin K, calcium, and an antioxidant boost. It’s funny to think that something I wasn’t crazy about at first attempt is now one of…

Switching to the toddler bed
For the most part, our new house is put together and feels really home-y, but I still haven’t finished Liv’s room. We’re in this in-between phase between nursery and toddler room, and still haven’t switched her to a toddler or twin bed. My philosophy has been, “If it ain’t broke, don’t mess with it” regarding her…
