You Raise Me Up

Behold, the sweet Ace bandage of belly-lifting justice. Sexy, no? I was seriously stoked when the belly support wrap I ordered via Amazon arrived on Monday. Of course, I couldnโ€™t wait to take it out for a spin and see how it felt. The instructions were pretty intense, considering itโ€™s a belly wrap, but I…

San Diego, which of course in German means…

you know the rest ๐Ÿ˜‰ Last night was Bellaโ€™s dream night. We took her for a long walk at the park โ€“ which I especially enjoy since the Pilot and I can catch up on the day- and then to Frost for gelato. Vanilla for her: Pumpkin for him, and a peanut butter truffle for…

Birth Stories

Iโ€™m obsessed with birth stories. I love reading them, learning the details of such a significant day in someoneโ€™s life, and am especially intrigued because everyoneโ€™s birth story is so different. I only know some of the details about the day I was born. Of course, I was late (a trait that has stayed with…

Peppermint patty

It had to happen. After posting about the dark chocolate almond milk yesterday, you guys started flooding my brain with amazing chocolaty almond suggestions. I knew it would be good in smoothies and baked goodies, but hadnโ€™t even thought about heating it up to make hot chocolate or, as Vanessa suggested, steeping mint tea in…

Just what I needed

Heyyyy <3 How was your Monday? Hope you had a wonderful day! After catching up on blogs, news (sending lots of love to Giuliana Rancic, whom Iโ€™ve always admired), and waking the Pilot up (he didnโ€™t have to go in super early this morning), I made breakfast using two new-to-me ingredients. DARK CHOCOLATE almond milk…

Babies and Technology

This commercial made me cry. And then moments later, I checked my Facebook and had received a friend request from a recently born baby girl. Her parents set up an account for her so that distance friends and family could keep up with what sheโ€™s up to. I thought it was an awesome idea, since…

Come glide with me

Greetings from the land of swollen ankles. We had a very busy, yet very fun-filled day, and after a full day of wearing tight stretchy jean crops, flats and being out in the sun, my ankles hate me. Itโ€™s the first time theyโ€™ve gotten really swollen, so I have my feet propped up, chugging water,…

Hi friends ๐Ÿ™‚ How are you? Hope youโ€™re enjoying your Sunday. This morning, we took a little trip to visit my great-nana. Last time we saw her, we promised weโ€™d take my brothers with us, so today we delivered on our promise. We had fun talking and hanging out with nana, and after leaving, the…

Blast from the past

Good morning! Happy Sunday <3 Hope youโ€™re relaxing and enjoying the weekend. We slept in late todayโ€ฆ and it felt glorious. Last night, one of the Pilotโ€™s good friends was in Tucson, so I finally had the chance to meet him. Itโ€™s kind of a crazy story- the boysโ€™ dads were in high school together…

How my workouts have changed- 2nd trimester

Things have definitely slowed down over here. In the beginning of the 2nd trimester, I felt AMAZING. I was rocking out my workouts and almost felt my pre-pregnancy energy levels. Weights, cardio, flexibility- it was all there, and I wasnโ€™t usually too tired to stick with my normal-ish routine [of course, there were some โ€œI…
