In the best way

I spoiled my dinner tonightโ€ฆ. in the best way possible. After this afternoonโ€™s acupuncture appointment โ€“which was much-needed. I missed it!- I went to Whole Foods to grab a couple of things and get a smoothie since it was on the way home.   tropical green with mango, kiwi, pineapple, banana, spinach, kale and coconut…

Belly up

Even though sleeping and walking have become daunting tasks in the past week, I’m trying to savor it as much as I possibly can. I’m going to miss the belly- especially the closeness I’ve felt to the baby for the past almost-10 months. Even when I’m missing the kicks and body rolls, it will be…

Breakfast pizza

Two days in a row of seeing the sun rise (itโ€™s amazing what an extra hour or two will give ya in the morning) and this breakfast. I call it breakfast pizza, but itโ€™s more like an unrolled wrap. Same thing ๐Ÿ˜‰ Brown rice tortilla with Dijon spread onto it, 2 eggs, goat cheese, mixed…

Dinner by the bro

As much as I like getting dolled up for a night out, I also appreciate the places where I can wear lululemon and moccasins. For dinner tonight, the Pilot and I went to one of the restaurants at work. Since itโ€™s a health resort, there is an amazing abundance of healthy options. Itโ€™s lower on…

Pump it up

Lots of athletic events going down over here for a 40-week pregnant chica. Like a half marathon (or the one-hour walk that felt like one) and an intense swim   (aka the act of flipping from side-to-side whilst in the bathtub. The octopus thing is a thermometer so the water doesnโ€™t get over 100*). You…

Rice investment + a NEW leg burner

Iโ€™m pretty sure our rice cooker has paid for itself already. I picked it up at Costco for our housewarming party, and since then, have used it countless times for various grains- it makes beautiful quinoa. Since I busted the mini food chopper making cookie butter, I think it may be my most frequently-used winter…

A different tree

Today was spent running errands and taking down Christmas. Iโ€™m usually so bummed to take down our decorations because usually I have no idea where or when Iโ€™ll see them again, so itโ€™s pretty amazing that weโ€™ll still be here next year. It wasnโ€™t quite as sad ๐Ÿ˜‰ So it went from this: back to…

Press the pickle button

The โ€œpickle buttonโ€ is what the pilots call their weapons release button- the one that sends off all of the bombs. Itโ€™s also how they refer to their very pregnant wives, as in โ€œno, she hasnโ€™t pickled yet,โ€ โ€œsheโ€™s about to pickle,โ€ etc. Nice, huh? (Christmas decorations, itโ€™s so sad to pack you up) So…

Inspiration Station

Every year, Iโ€™ll do a little arts and crafts project: an inspiration board to hang in the closet, and help me remain mindful of my goals throughout the year. Iโ€™ve fallen in love with Pinterest, but thereโ€™s something to be said about having a tangible board in an easily visible place. Hereโ€™s my board for…

In with the new

Our New Yearโ€™s Eve was filled with family friends (of the human and fur variety) food and fireworks. Ball so hard. Fireworks were illegal here for a long as I can remember, and just a few years ago, they changed that. Needless to say, my brothers and husband were very excitedโ€ฆ   We ended up…

More INDIAN FOOD ๐Ÿ™‚   As you guys know, my beloved cuisine has taken a backseat to Thai since we havenโ€™t really found an Indian restaurant in Tucson that…
