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…

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…

The protein debate

Guess who grilled last night?! Actually no, not me. It was fun to pretend for a sec and โ€œcheck on thingsโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰ We did the usual routine: I prep, he grills. The Pilot is just so good at it, and you shouldnโ€™t mess with perfection, really. The star of the show was the veggies: salty…
