Good morning, friends! Hope youโre having a Happy Monday. <3 I have a tabata treadmill workout below that you can breeze through in 20 minutes– perfect for this busy time of year! This is what happens when I donโt make dinner: That is a Pei Wei fail. See the shrimp? Theyโre brown and gnarly. Iโd…

for a tour! Not the big day.. yet. Little lady still needs to cook for a few more weeks ๐ We met with a group of expecting parents to take a tour of the maternity ward, labor and delivery, and nurseries today at the hospital where our baby will be born. I wasnโt quite sure…

What a fabulously lazy Sunday We slept in and then met up with the fam at Millieโs Pancake House for breakfast. Itโs pretty much the spot for brotherโs breakfast, so the boys go there often, but I havenโt had a full meal there in years. Millieโs is a cute little place, and I love that…

Iโm not-so-secretly afraid my water is going to break teaching Zumba. Can you imagine the horror? Shaking my booty in front of class when a waterfall of fluid hits the floor to Pitbull. Iโd die. [Side note: the new lululemon Quick Step pant is my new fave. I like it even more than the Studio…

Itโs a gorgeous day today. Slightly cloudy and cool, perfect to leave the door to the backyard open so Miss Bell can run amuck and ideal for the Tour de Tucson, which started this morning. El Tour de Tucson is a huge road cycling event, held the weekend before Thanksgiving, and as many as 9,000…

I am a bit of a cranky pants today. Two nights ago, I hardly slept at all, and last night, I woke up twice and then again when the Pilot woke up. He always gets up an hour before me (5:45 and Iโll get up around 6:45), so usually I sleep until he leaves for…
Read More →The walk that wasn’t
Bella doesnโt even know what she missed out on. Whenever I ask her if she wants to go for a walk, she goes ccrrraazzzyy. She runs around, and as soon as she sees the harness, I have to catch her to actually put it on. Sheโs fine with the leash (and will even sit pretty…

Itโs definitely back to the grind over hereโฆ [Egg sandwich + Larabar taken to work] and it feels good ๐ I taught two classes (and assisted one) this morning, and am back home for a little lunch break before Zumba and Tubing. This is what it looks like.. when a refrigerator cries I scraped the…

A note to the fellow preg ladies out there: waiting until youโre 8 months pregnant to buy maternity jeans isnโt the best idea ever. Embrace the panel! Going on a little babymoon, however, was one of the best ideas weโve had in a long time. It really gave us a chance to enjoy each…
