Yoga raincheck

Well, it wasn’t meant to be my night for yoga. I was a couple of minutes late to class, since Livi needed a full belly and I pumped before leaving her with her Daddy. Class was completely PACKED and they had already started the opening talk and meditation. I walked into the room, saw that…

Freedom to move

Guess who’s in the clear?? Source At my midwife appointment today, she told me I’m “free to do whatever I was doing before.” Music to my ears. Even though I’m still recovering, I feel great and am excited to get back into the things I love. I’m so excited to take a Zumba class this…

Fam field trip

Why hello, farmer’s market… It’s been awhile! Yesterday we decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and hit up the Saturday market, which is smaller than the Sunday one, but still has quite a few vendors. Field trip for the entire fam 😀 We picked up some goodies for dinner, and since we were…

Baby Language

One of the most challenging things in the first couple of weeks was having no idea what the cries meant. All I knew was that they broke my heart, and I immediately wanted to figure out what was wrong and what we needed to do to fix it. A Facebook friend left this video on…

House divided

Over here, it’s an equal split between the early birds (Bell and I are wide awake) and the night owls. (Pilot and baby are snoozing away) Early bird gets the… waffle 😉 A quick breakfast with two Van’s waffles, topped with almond butter and jelly, a salad with Goddess dressing and an egg + tea…

2/3: Thoughts from the week

-The stability ball has become a permanent fixture in here- thank you to those of you who recommended using it as a rocking chair. Of course, Livi is a huge fan. I think it’s because I spent most of the last 3 weeks of pregnancy on the stability ball, gently bouncing and encouraging her to…

You guys inspired me with your comments, so I decided to go through the intimidating mail pile. I got distracted midway…

Storytime

One of the things we love to do with Livi is read to her. It’s one of our morning activities, and we’ll always read her a book before we tuck her into bed. Sometimes they’re children’s books, or Tom and I will just read aloud whatever we’re reading: Last night she learned about 357th Fighter…

10 Ways to Make February Fantastic

Oh, February, month of love, chocolate and football. Something for everyone, right? I’ve always kind of liked the fact that February is a little bit shorter. Back in elementary school days, I was always excited about Valentine’s Day (and reading the valentine from whomever I had a crush on. I’d analyze whether the cartoon one…

Bucket lists

Of course we’re savoring the moments over here -because as I was crying to Tom the other night, before we know it she’ll be going to prom- but a large majority of the time has been focused on necessities: eating, sleeping, growing, bathing, diapering. Livi and I get to play in short bursts in between-…

Kitch Blitz

The weather here has been outta control gorgeous lately, so yesterday morning, Livi and I met up with Meara and her kiddos at La Encantada. Since we’re in between seasons –Tucson can’t decide if it wants to stay spring until spring, or randomly turn into winter- no major purchases, but lots of walking and window…
