bloggy friends
More Peas, Thank You
I’m a bit of a cookbook hoarder. My collection is kind of ridiculous, (one of the 3 designated cookbook spots in the house) and every time I’m in a bookstore, I have to convince myself to walk away from yet another cookbook. That is, unless I know the author’s lovely face. That’s always a reason…

I was so excited when Kath told me they’d be making a visit to Tucson. One of my favorite things about blogging is that I’ve made so many real-life friends through the blog world. Kath and I have been friends for a while -she was one of the first blogs I ever read!- and I’ve…

You know those rare books that get into your heart and you find yourself thinking about the characters, long after you’ve finished reading? Blackberry Winter was one of those books for me. I was looking for a new book after reading The Handmaid’s Tale and I’ve realized that it’s easier for me to write when…

I’ve been debating back and forth about my half marathon. If I do it, I want to DO it. I’m not sure I have it in me right now. We haven’t been sleeping well lately -Liv’s been sleeping great, but the Pilot and I have been going to sleep past midnight every night, which is…

I have to admit that I’m not a huge Phoenix fan…. until I get there. It’s silly because Phoenix has way more to offer as far as restaurants and shopping go, but Tucson still has a lot to choose from with the smaller, more intimate feeling of a small town. (Whole Foods seems to have…
Read More →In the spirit + Friday Faves
Everyone is in the holiday spirit in our house, especially Bella with her snowflake bandana. We decked the halls the other night, and it always feels so good to take out our ornaments after they’ve been packed away. Last year was incredibly sentimental because when we’d previously packed them up, we had no idea where…

My oven has seen both sides of the spectrum today. When I was home for my lunch break, my brothers were here hanging out with the Pilot and Oliv, and Kyle asked me if I’d help him make something for a Bacon Party he was headed to tonight with Meg. (For anyone lacking theme ideas…

Thanks for all of your awesome comments yesterday morning <3 Your kind words and Liv’s sweet little face helped to make it an awesome Friday. We had lunch with Kyle and the Pilot, came back home to hang out -Liv was having a teething day so we laid low for the afternoon- went for a family…

2 weeks later, and we are still without a working downstairs TV… and not really missing it. Even though I’ve never been a huge TV person, the past couple of weeks made me realize a few things: -it was a huge waste of energy to have the TV on for background noise -the absence of…

Instead of my 4-miler, we had a bit of a fiasco. We were at Sabino Canyon and the Pilot twisted his ankle walking in from the parking lot. The poor guy has been hobbling around the house, and will probably have to make a doc visit soon :/ He offered to take Liv home and…

After reading your amazing thoughts on the recent organic studies, I thought it would be fun to talk about the BEST health and fitness tips. Since it’s been a journey for me to get into my groove with healthy eating and working out -I’m still learning and changing things as time goes on- a few…
