Focus On: South Beach

It SNOWED in Tucson yesterday! My snowman dreams were crushed when it didnโ€™t stick, but still very exciting. Tucsonans donโ€™t know how to drive in the rain, let alone snow, so we played it safe and had a low key day over here. My only excursion: A ride on the spin bike ๐Ÿ™‚ Dinner wasโ€ฆ

Sleep Feat

We had a major sleep victory over here two nights ago: Livi slept through the night! I thought my eyes were messing with me when I heard her start to cry to let us know she was awake, because SUNLIGHT was peeking through the blinds. Sun! Morning! I picked her up out of her bassinet,โ€ฆ

Itโ€ฆ

Pinch me

I own exactly one green shirt, and I wore it todayโ€ฆ not about to re-wear it tomorrow after what itโ€™s been through this afternoon ๐Ÿ˜‰ Green isnโ€™t a color I regularly purchase, and I feel like a St. Pattyโ€™s Day scrooge since itโ€™s one of my all-time favorite holidays.

3/16: Thoughts from the week

-We had some fun setting up the video monitor last night. After making faces at each other over the little camera, I was upstairs brushing my teeth and I get a text from Tom saying โ€œIโ€™m watching youโ€ I walked back in the bedroom to see the camera following me around the room! Creeptastic. -Iโ€ฆ

Coffee surprise

Hey guys! I LOVED this morningโ€™s discussion about the Paleo diet. I had a feeling it might be controversial because it seems to be a love it or hate it kinda thing, but way to be respectful of each other while voicing your opinions. Youโ€™re a classy bunch, so I wouldnโ€™t expect anything less ๐Ÿ˜‰โ€ฆ

Fast food

Night weeks, Iโ€™m not a fan. Source Iโ€™ve never loved night weeks because I miss having the Pilot around- it just feels lonely over here. Liv and I have had fun hanging out at the house together or meeting up with friends, but we havenโ€™t seen much of the man of the house for theโ€ฆ
