Make it happen

Hey! How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? We had an awesome, restful and low-key weekend over here. Yesterday, the Pilot told me to go get a massage (twist my arm, eh?) and it was probably the best I’ve ever ย had- my hair is still greasy from the oils, haha. After my experience with prenatal…

Dr. Seuss Hair

I’ve always thought the Pilot and I make a pretty good team, but it’s even more apparent now with a little one in the house. We don’t have to ask or say anything -we just ย help each other out. He stays home with Livi on Saturday while I go to work, I’ll get to see…

The secret ingredient isโ€ฆ.

Chillin’ at home for lunch break, eating a chicken burger the Pilot made me (on toast with kale, mustard and ketchup) going over choreography and chiseling away at an eegee nana left in the freezer for us. (thank you, friend!) I’ve had a great morning teaching, and Liv and the Pilot have had quite a…

Nice things

-My friend Katie saving me at work yesterday. When I first started (a little over a year ago), I quickly learned that since our schedules change throughout the day, we need to be prepared for anything. Weight room, teaching, Zumba and pool all have different outfits/shoes. Well, I *thought* pool was my last class yesterday,…

Gina: Not too shabby {giveaway}-ENDED

In my efforts to make my style more classic, I’ve been inspired by vintage looks, which is one of the many reasons I love Meg’s style so much. While I’ll never totally vintage-ify my closet- I’ll always be a mall girl at heart- I’ve had fun shopping more classic styles. I’ve been eyeing the pieces…

After one night of nightmares (which I wrote about), the next night I woke up to a fork in the bed. Not even joking. Bella took my “lunch fork” out of my work gym bag and brought it into our bed. When I rolled over, I thought my leg was on something wet, which was…

Right [not] on schedule

One of the things I’m frequently asked is how we got Liv on a “schedule.” I remember when she was 3 weeks old and someone asked us if we had her on a schedule yet. I wanted to laugh because I was just proud of myself for getting dressed that day. A schedule was pretty…
