Turn it around
Last time that the “What’s your excuse” mom sparked controversy, I was tempted to write about it. It eventually blew over, I forgot about it, and was recently reminded. The infamous Facebook photo-phenom made a return, and I decided I couldn’t keep my mouth shut (or fingers from typing) any longer. If you’re not familiar…

Salted Baileys Chocolate Truffles
Here’s a fun dessert option for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities this week–salted Baileys chocolate truffles! In a nutshell, I took my favorite vegan cashew truffle recipe and de-raw-ified it by using Baileys instead of almond milk. It was a wise decision, indeed. I LOVE St. Patrick’s Day. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays,…

Why is she growing so…

Superman shorts + meals/fitness
Good morning! Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday so far. The girls (madre, nana, Livi and myself) are off to Phoenix for a cousin’s shower. It should be a blast 🙂 Before road trips or any type of traveling, I always like to wake up a little early to shake my legs out. This morning,…

Friday Faves
TGIFF. (<– yes, there is an extra “F” there.) So excited for the weekend! When Livi wakes up, it will determine how the rest of the day will go. She’ll either wake up feeling much better (fingers crossed), or same/worse which means a visit to the ped is in order. I really hope the she…

Yoga teacher training
Lots of snuggles and downtime over here: Even though I hate when Livi is sick, the cuddles and downtime have been amazing. After a frantic week last week, some forced relaxation is much-appreciated, especially when I get to spend it relaxing with noodle. Usually she rarely sits still, but we’ve been camped on the couch…

Juice thirty
Hiiii 🙂 How’s your day been? Livi has a bit of a cold, so we’ve been laying low over here. My madre came over for a little while so I could drop off our tax documents, and I brought back La Parrilla soup for the the three of us. Their chicken and rice soup is…

For the next 40 days
Hi 🙂 How’s your morning going? I’m off to get our taxes done (derp). I’ll be thankful when that’s done for another year. Speaking of appreciation…Lent’s around the corner for me. I feel like it’s always an encouragement to make changes in habits that I can maintain long after the 40 days are over. Per…

Scooter girl + what I read in Feb
We have a scooter fanatic over here 🙂 I ordered the scooter because I noticed Liv was trying to move herself on the trike by pushing her feet against the ground. We got a lot of good use out of the trike, but I feel like she’s already outgrown it. We looked at the balance…

OOTD: Hat head
My friend Sasha has this huge, floppy hat that she’d wear while teaching pool classes. The hat was totally gorgeous, and we’d all say she looked like a movie star. I once told her she looked like a tropical sun goddess. 🙂 When I taught pool classes, they weren’t my most appealing moments. I would…
