8/23: Friday Faves
-Hula-ing with these lovely ladies at the dance show last night. We did a hula/Tahitian dance, and the costumes were SO fun. I kind of felt like a rainforest fairy… or something. The pizza and cocktails after the show weren’t too shabby, either 😉 -This LUSH face mask. I’ve tried out quite a few of…

I joined a running group
and I liked it 🙂 I have PR dreams for my next half marathon, so my friend Monica hooked me up with a training plan, which I’ve been loosely following according to my schedule. This week, I also went to the running store to get fitted for new shoes to last me the fall/winter…

My baby hates the high chair {video}
and her stroller, and basically any occasion when she isn’t able to move around freely on her own. Usually, it’s NBD because I’d rather hold her hand and let her walk around. She wants to move and explore instead of being strapped down, and I get that. However, there are some times when she needs…

Grain-Free Vegan Thumbprint Cookies
For yesterday’s dinner, I had an awesome picnic in mind, but the rain had another idea. So hot bar inside it was. Noodle has the hot bar routine down pat. We walk around and pick our eats, grab a drink (either water or a fresh juice) and then she looks up at me and says,…

Spicy Shredded Chicken with Almond Butter Sauce
I’ve strayed away from my almond-butter-obsessed ways. Its replacement: Sunbutter. It all started when I realized that Liv wanted to eat everything I was eating, and I waited a while before introducing almonds to her. (Sunflower seeds are not a highly allergenic food.) It didn’t seem fair to be shoveling almond butter in my face…

Core and balance
Last night was just noodle and myself since the Pilot was working. We went swimming after nap, came home for an awesome dinner, and then did the bath/bedtime rituals. After she was snuggled in bed, I decided to get in a little core and balance workout. I’m guilty of skimping on these two fitness components,…

Avocado mint chocolate chip ice cream
Hiii! Thank you so much for the wonderful anniversary wishes! <3 I was so excited to tell you about my run this morning. That is, until said run happened. Or didn’t happen, rather. I finally got new sneaks yesterday (Pearl Izumi) and took them for a 6-miler test run. My heel started throbbing after mile…

anniversary <3
Yesterday was our anniversary. It’s hard to believe that 6 years ago, totally unfamiliar with the military lifestyle, I was entering into a new life filled with so much uncertainty. Where would we live? Would I be able to find work? What about deployments? Would it be hard to make new friends everywhere we went?…

8/18: Meals and fitness for the week
Hi friends 🙂 How has your weekend been? Ours has been great but, as weekends tend to be, over way too quickly. (Source) Yesterday marked the end of my “week sans sugar” cleanse. I was starting to get too dependent on sugary treats, especially in between teaching classes, so I decided to cut them out…

8/16: Friday faves
-The hour in the morning before it’s scorching hot. It’s perfect time to have a cup of coffee, write a blog post or check emails before noodle wakes up. I always love to sit on the patio, even more now that we have the hammock chair. I’m obsessed. -Walking around on University. I had a…

Hey manchego
We finally bit the bullet and ordered one of those cool hanging hammock chairs from Rue LaLa. (My friend Julie got me hooked, and I may or may not check the app every morning when I wake up.) I want to live in the chair! When Liv is sleeping, I’ll make an iced rose tea…
