First bone broth experience
Hi friends! How’s the day going? It’s been a cloudy, gloomy and comfy day over here. To catch up on some lost sleep (Liv was sick while we were in Tucson, so we were up all night for a few nights), I decided to skip my alarm today. It was a wise choice. 🙂 I’m…

The Pilot’s famous lasagna
Buddy the Elf! I KNOW HIM. (The Pilot took that pic while Buddy was screaming in my face, and I was laughing hysterically. He then hugged me and asked, “What’s your favorite color?”) We went to check out Winter Wonderland at Petco Park, and had a blast. Liv was totally awestruck by the gorgeous light…
