That kind of night

We found our Halloween costumes! The Pilot is a video game nerd and I am a sleepy blogger. Iโ€™m saving Bellaโ€™s costume until absolutely necessary โ€“to take blog pictures on Monday- because sheโ€™ll hate me the entire time itโ€™s onโ€ฆ She will not tolerate antennae for longer than 5 minutes. I think we both knew…

Notes from the week

-Maternity shirts are worth it. Not that mine were a splurge or anything like that ($14.99 from that fancy French store, pronounced โ€œTar Jayโ€), but itโ€™s amazing how good it is to wear clothes that fit, instead of wearing a longer tank top underneath or constantly pulling down my shirt. When I first wore the…

Traitors

I cheated on my high school last night. My bro, the Pilot and I met up with the fam (cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, nana) to watch my little broโ€™s football game. He plays varsity (and is only a freshman- impressive stuff!), for my alma materโ€™s rival school. So there were Kyle and I, sporting the…

What’s in the basket?

One thing I love about moving so often is that it forces you to get rid of clutter and start fresh wherever you go. Marrying a military man forced me to transform from the girl with hundreds of random bottles and cosmetics to more of a minimalist. I just get what I absolutely need and…

Not your usual vacay

Iโ€™m having some challenges with packing my hospital suitcase. According to Babycenter, it should be ready within two weeks, but I donโ€™t want to take a bunch of things I donโ€™t need or forget critical items at home. Hereโ€™s a list of Babycenterโ€™s suggestions, and what Iโ€™m thinking about bringing: A picture ID (driver’s license…

Reader’s Request: Healthy Halloween!

Halloween is a great time to reminisce about the excitement of being dressed up in costume (and mad because mom made me wear a sweater with my sparkly Little Mermaid outfit because it was cold), swapping details with neighborhood friends on where the โ€œgoodโ€ houses are, and filling bags to the brim with candy. Around…

Hot Curler How-to

Iโ€™ve always been a huge fan of hot curlers. Theyโ€™re super easy to use, inexpensive, and make you look like you spent a lot of time on your hair, when in reality, you totally didnโ€™t. One thing Iโ€™ve noticed is that all hot curlers are pretty similar, but what you want to look for is…

Focus On: Triathlons

Good morning! Iโ€™m excited to start the day off with an amazing Focus On post, written by Steph. Iโ€™ve been wanting to do a post on triathlons for a while, since theyโ€™ve always intrigued me but sadly, Iโ€™m missing two out of the three components (canโ€™t ride a bike or swim.. Iโ€™m more of a…

Easy and delicious gluten-free crepes

Itโ€™s been wayyyyy too longโ€ฆ. The return of crepes! I got a link back yesterday from a friend who made these, and I canโ€™t believe I forgot about them for so long. Iโ€™m definitely a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast, and go through phases where I rotate between 3 or so things.…
