The best medicine

Hi friends <3 Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments on yesterday’s post. It means so much to us, and we appreciate your love as we continue on. It’s always going to be weird no longer having her here, but I’m blessed to have someone to miss this much. During this time,…

Pho-nomenal

After my first at-home chicken pho experience, I’m convinced that it’s kind of like enchiladas: intimidating until you actually do it and realize how easy it is. Ok, so pho is a little more time-intensive, and you can’t exactly throw anything you have into the mix (like enchiladas! Enjoy this butternut squash, bean, goat cheese,…

11/15: Friday Faves

-An amazing time at the Stitch Fix headquarters with a lovely group of blogger friends (Jenna, Julie, Kacia aka CocoRo and Raechel). Everything was incredible, from the behind-the-scenes look at how the fixes are styled and shipped, the glorious dinners, to the wonderful low-key night at the house, drinking wine and chatting. It was a…

Hi friends! Thank you so much for the kind words about our move. While it’s a little overwhelming, as all moves can be, I’m excited for the new experience and opportunities 🙂 Dinner last night had to be quick and easy, since I taught an evening drum/Zumba class with Sasha. I’d seen this on one…

Winning and losing

  Hi friends! Thanks for your awesome comments on the foam rolling post. (Like how I snuck a little giveaway in there? I’ll pick a winner tonight at midnight EST) 😉 A few people asked about the hoodie I was wearing in the video. Moving Comfort sent it to me a while ago, and I’m…

Boston Blitz

Hi friends! I’m back from my little Boston blitz. It’s hard to believe that I was actually in town for less than 24 hours before heading back to Tucson– we did so much! I’m not able to go into details about everything -I can say that some awesome Reebok product is on the way- but…

Soup-er

Last night reaffirmed an important life lesson: yoga is not like pizza. Ashley had suggested a candlelight hatha class, and I thought it would be good to go stretch, especially after my fall. When we got there, there was a sub, which is usually NBD; subs have helped me to find new instructors that I…

10/4: Friday Faves {sneak giveaway}

-My two favorite people in the world, relaxing on the hammock together. Livi now asks me to please braid her hair most mornings. She’ll tell me if she wants a braid, Dorothy braids or a bun. I tell ya. -Salmon tacos. We had taco night this week, and this 15-minute meal was blackened salmon with…

The Best Pasta Salad You Will Ever Have in Your Entire Life

It’s a bold statement, but this truly is the best pasta salad ever. We went to our little cousin’s birthday party last weekend, and while it was a blast to hang out with the fam, swim with Livi and hear her sing “Happy Birthday,” the star of my heart was a pasta salad. Not just any…

The shish kebab house

One way to guarantee Liv will have a fun time dining out: find a place with live entertainment. We took her to the flamenco festival and she fell in love, and last weekend, we went to the Shish Kebab House where they have live bellydancers. Needless to say, she was enthralled. I would think we’ve…

A taste of Italy

I would like to dedicate this post to everyone who told me that my favorite Italian olives (Castelvetrano) are at World Market. Not only did they have the olives, some beautiful anchovies and my favorite Duplo bar (uhhh and about a thousand decor items I’d like to purchase), they also had beautiful pasta, olive oils…
