The Best Pasta Salad You Will Ever Have in Your Entire Life
It’s a bold statement, but this truly is the best pasta salad ever. We went to our little cousin’s birthday party last weekend, and while it was a blast to hang out with the fam, swim with Livi and hear her sing “Happy Birthday,” the star of my heart was a pasta salad. Not just any…

The shish kebab house
One way to guarantee Liv will have a fun time dining out: find a place with live entertainment. We took her to the flamenco festival and she fell in love, and last weekend, we went to the Shish Kebab House where they have live bellydancers. Needless to say, she was enthralled. I would think we’ve…

A taste of Italy
I would like to dedicate this post to everyone who told me that my favorite Italian olives (Castelvetrano) are at World Market. Not only did they have the olives, some beautiful anchovies and my favorite Duplo bar (uhhh and about a thousand decor items I’d like to purchase), they also had beautiful pasta, olive oils…

9/29: Meals and fitness for the week
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! I’m hobbling through the world today… nothing could save me from yesterday’s run and teach extravaganza. I braved the cold dip -alternating between cold and hot for 20 minutes- taught a stretch class, which forced me to stretch, and still: very sore. Even though it was a doozy (10 miles +…

Conquering lateness + an awesome giveaway
[This is a sponsored post from BlogHer through Citi, which includes an incredible giveaway opportunity. As always, all opinions are my own] I’d always been one of those “late for everything” kind of people. I know it’s rude, it’s embarrassing, but unless it was a job interview, you could pretty much guarantee that I’d…

I always have one in my work backpack or purse, just for emergencies. The hazelnut chocolate rocks my world. This exfoliating cleanser. I went into LUSH to pick some up,…
