At a bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, they have the best infusionsโ€ฆfresh fruit soaking in vodka, which tastes dangerously like candy. Thatโ€™s all I can remember to tell you about those drinks. This strawberry infusion is a little bit healthier, and will help…

Colored denim and printed wedges

When I first saw colored denim last spring, I thought to myself โ€œIโ€™m glad the trend will be gone by next year.โ€ Nope. Here we are again and colored denim is more popular than it was last year. Same thing with skinny jeansโ€ฆ I fought the trend forever because I thought they were horribly unflattering,…

Back to the inspiration board

Oh, hey Monday. You sneak up on us so quickly ๐Ÿ˜‰ Since Iโ€™m on another breakfast kick (eating the same thing everyday until I get sick of it) letโ€™s talk about inspiration.

11 week sleep routine

Itโ€™s a valuable commodity, though, and wish I would have read more about sleep routines and tips while I was pregnant] It still mystifies me that babies fight sleep. Someone tells me to go to sleepโ€ฆ um, twist my arm. Goodnight ๐Ÿ˜‰ Even though we…

Land of bees and honey

A lovely, lazy Saturday over here <3 Breakfast on the patio: a Bella in the sun: and a blooming orange tree, which is making our entire backyard smell like honey.

What flavor is grey?

Iโ€™ve mad a lot of gnarly-looking smoothies in my day. This one wins ๐Ÿ˜‰ Grey! Tastyโ€ฆ.. To make a grey smoothie: combo of banana, almond milk, spinach, berries, Sun Warrior, hemp seeds, almond butter and cinnamon. Despite its funky appearance, it was quick dose of nutrients and tasted fantastic. This morningโ€™s bfast was a little…

Blanco

Did you know that if you have red sangria on a Wednesday, it automatically makes the rest of the week so much better? It is true. The Pilot played hooky today ๐Ÿ˜‰ He took a day of leave so I could go to the dentist (and then couldnโ€™t get an appointment). He still has 90-something…
