Take it off

It was about time to go from this: (what I call my โ€œwitch hairโ€ โ€“ too long and thick to manage) to this.   I lost about 5 lbs in hair this morning. As much as I love the convenience of the messy bun, Iโ€™m so excited to be able to wear my hair down…

More bang for your cardio buck

Hi friends ๐Ÿ™‚ Itโ€™s almost the weekend! Iโ€™m so glad you liked the back workout– let me know if you give it a try! Since the Pilot and I are both (still) feeling a little under the weather โ€“please be allergies- we had someone else do the cooking last night. Soup and salad FTW Treat…

Personal Style

The concept of personal style is somewhat new to me. I have always been a trend-follower (which is OKAY!) and dressed myself based on which stores were popular at the time. In high school I definitely still shopped based on popular styles (hello Abercrombie ripped jeans) but as I transitioned into my college years, I…

“Baby Got Back” workout

Will shake for chicken. Would probably sing an aria whilst riding a unicycle for chicken, but you know. Another lovely Pilot-grilled feast: I prepped the food and when he got home, he grilled it up while I did the baby bedtime rituals. We had dinner before 8pm, and it was awesome. Wilted some kale on…

{Video post} Tummy time

We werenโ€™t always the best at doing tummy time. Youโ€™re supposed to do it as often as possible during the day, so the baby can build up neck strength and doesnโ€™t get a flat head from laying down all the time. Sometimes it would end up being 5pm and Iโ€™d think โ€œAhh! Tummy time!โ€ and…

Bring it back

Just when I thought it would be an uneventful morning, we had a massive power outage in Tucson. Livi and I were just about to head somewhere air conditioned when it magically turned back on. Thank goodness we both had breakfast before everything went out. Since Iโ€™ve been enjoying oats for a snack lately, itโ€™s…

Here comes the sun

Smoothie weather! Nice to see ya. Itโ€™s easy to complain about the heat when you live in the desert, but I say bring it on. I may change my tune when itโ€™s 115* and my eegee is melting faster than I can drink it, but for now, I will relish in the toastiness, Drink lots…

Recycling clothes

I could easily be a clothes hoarder. Itโ€™s not like I would ever wear my โ€œRyan, Marry Me!โ€ shirt again, but sometimes I get a little attached to the memories behind the clothes. They remind me of different times in my life, and it hurt a little when I got rid of the first dress…

Missing words

Fresh laundry = Bellaโ€™s favorite pillow This is why itโ€™s so much harder to put it away.. she just looks so comfy. Hope youโ€™re all having a happy Monday so far! My last post could have used some text to go along with the pictures, but kept it wordless in the spirit of my Sunday…

Mover and a shaker

Livi has been able to roll over from her back to her stomach for a few weeks. At first, it was just an awesome sign of development, and now itโ€™s starting to give us anxiety because sheโ€™s doing it in her sleep. When we put her into her bed on her back, sheโ€™ll roll over…

King of all beasts

After teaching today, I was ready for a giant Oreganoโ€™s salad. Not just a โ€œsomeone got heavy-handed with the lettuceโ€ salad.. a โ€œfeed a family of 4โ€ salad. Except the family of 4 was my face.   Chicken, romaine, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, soaked raisins (my favorite part) and balsamic…
