A Caro update
Dinner last night was everything I wished for: The star of the show: this risotto. When I put the recipe on our meal plan this week, I hadn’t really thought it through. And then today I was thinking: “Risotto? There’s no way I’m going to have time to stand over a pot and stir rice…

Yesterday, I write a little post about my Zumba story and put the call out for some of yours. The key to consistency is finding a workout you LOVE and I was so excited to hear about what pushes your workout buttons. I received quite a few awesome comments and stories via email, and thought…

Meg: DIY Bleach Pen
I wanted to thank everyone for their input in the comment section of the Self-Tanner post! I’m looking forward to trying out some of the recommendations 🙂 In other news, my best friend and I tested out an extremely easy DIY the other day! The cost of this fun little project was under $4 and…

Savory Quinoa Muffins
I was in the mood for something a little different when I made quinoa muffins for the week. I LOVE this sweeter version, but was feeling like something a little more savory. Taste-wise, they were everything I wished for them to be: a mild nutty flavor from the quinoa, robust sundried tomatoes, creamy goat cheese…

Livi’s first birthday party
We spent a large portion of our Monday hanging out with family and friends, playing in kids-friendly exhibits, eating pizza, cupcakes, (I had them set up on beautiful silver cupcake tiers and forgot to take a pic. Womp womp) oh, and making slime! 😉 Today we had our *big* party for Livi’s first birthday at…

My Zumba story
After the ZIN Jam session on Saturday, Eric stopped to give us some tips about our classes. He gave some awesome advice -especially the fact that you don’t have to be a Zumba Jammer to host your own Master class- and also told us his family’s Zumba story. While it’s not really the place to…

1/20: Meals and fitness for the week
Happy Sunday! After an insane week, in a house full of sickies, the contrast of a particularly glorious weekend has been delightful. Lots of time spent with my little sidekick, whose hair is officially long for pigtails (can we just take a moment? I can’t even handle it) and goes crazy for green juice. The girl…

the petting zoo adventure of summer ’06
We got lost on the way there, which was easy to do in Fayetteville, NC. We didn’t know our way around very well, and most of the roads seemed to be of the dirt and windy variety. This combo almost always guaranteed that we’d be late for wherever we were heading. This was also a…

Just what the doc ordered + Friday Faves
Sniffle soup all around! (Please note the creeper in the background.) Thank you for all of the get-well wishes. I’m still fighting the good fight. Yesterday we laid low, drank lots of tea, watched some Elmo on Youtube while snuggling, and had chicken, carrot and rice soup for dinner. I figured it would be…

Meals and snacks for new mamas
There’s a common theme in my life right now: so many of my friends are pregnant or very recently had their babies. Does it give me baby fever? Yes. I always thought the octomom was insane, but now I kind of understand it. Does it make me want to cook for them? Yes yes. I…

Day of days
Or a week of weeks? (My “down time” last night was a mug of tea and painting my nails. Business on top, party on the toes) I think the universe cursed me for thinking to myself that I was so happy we made it a year without Liv getting sick. Even though we were at…
