Friday Faves

Hi guys! Happy Friday <3 I missed you yesterday! I had to go MIA because I really had no business publishing anything to the world. The Pilot had three night flights in a row, which usually is NBD, but I didn’t end up sleeping much. Yesterday was a blur in zombie mode -and during Liv’s…

My favorite workout bras

(sorry to the dudes out there) The birds are baaaaack. Every spring, we have turtle doves nesting a condo that the Pilot built. The condo was initially built out of empathetic frustration for the poor birds -they’d try to add nest supplies to the top of the pillar and they’d fall off, landing in a…

The prob with Pinterest workouts

Back to the grind over here! It’s always great to see these little pups again. I enjoyed a morning workout (strength + Workout 4! oof.) oh, and picked up some vegetables. It’s been a while. Liv and I spent the morning running a couple of errands. We slept in and missed storytime, so we grabbed snacks…

Disneyland and House Hunters v2.0

If you find me shaking in the corner today, it’s because I’m having severe Mickey Mouse crispy treat withdrawals…. (Why are they so good?!) We got back late last night from a little bit of a whirlwind traveling adventure. Since we’re moving to San Diego fairly soon, we figured we should start house hunting and…

Gem show finds

Alternate title: “I like sparkly things” 😉 A good Valentine’s day theme, eh? I look forward to the gem show ALL YEAR. They have a smaller one in the fall, but the biggest and best one not-so-coincidentally falls right before Valentine’s day.  So what is it? The gem show is a wholesale jewelry convention for…

Meg: Weekend Wears

Do you ever have those days where you look in your closet and just absolutely hate everything you have? Please say yes so I don’t feel like such a freak. Lately I have been in a bit of a fashion funk. Every so often this happens to me and it usually means I’m outgrowing the…

“When you expect less, you get more”

 = my Yoda-esque wisdom for the day.  (Also, can you believe I’ve never seen Star Wars? The Pilot is always teasing me about it. There are a lot of classic movies that have missed my radar.) This morning I was off on a 10-mile run.  It’s not a personal distance record, and it wasn’t fast…
