10 of my favorite Cinco de Mayo Recipes

I absolutely love Cinco de Mayo. Another reason to have a margarita the size of my head?   Check. Dance to mariachis? Si si. Spend time eating delicious food with the fam? Yep yep yep. Ok, so it’s not really much different than any other day over here, but I’m still a fan ๐Ÿ˜‰ Nana…

Healthy Easter (without eating like a rabbit)

It’s always a nice surprise when I can hit up a yoga class. Usually, I’ll just do a few poses at home if I get a chance, but it’s a treat to be able to take a class at a live studio. I hit up the $4 hot class with some friends and it was…

Meals and Fitness for the week

Hi from San Diego! We decided to take a little long weekend getaway. I’m so excited to be here with my little fam, surrounded by ocean, seals… oh, and gluten-free cupcakes. What more could a girl wish for? We got into La Jolla at 2:30am- Liv was WIDE AWAKE and cracking up like a little…

First Christmas with Liv

I’m pretty sure nothing in the world makes me happier than A house filled with the people I love so much, warm food waiting in the kitchen, (+ egg casserole, ham, tamales, oatmeal, mimosas and the necessary nog) and moments that are so beautifully imprinted in my mind. After the Pilot, Liv, MIL and I…

Red and green and plaid all over

Before setting off for Christmas Eve dinner and festivities, we took a family hike at Sabino Canyon. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the streams were running from the recent rain, and it felt nice to shake our legs out while enjoying beautiful scenery. After our adventure, we met up with the cousins for our annual…
