Hi 🙂 Thank you so much for all of the amazing enthusiasm for this year’s Summer Shape Up! (Fashionably late to the party? Check out the intro post if you’d like to join in!) So many of you have done the first workout already and I’m glad to hear it was as challenging and fun…

Do you like Bella’s new haircut? Wait, it doesn’t look like she got a haircut? That’s because it wasn’t professional.. I did it after she got stuck in a scorpion glue trap this afternoon. I had to cut some superfluous hair to get the sticky paper off the side of her right paw- poor girl,…

Tempeh Taco Lettuce Wraps
Doing the same thing all the time can get a little boring, even if it’s something you like. Take tempeh, for instance. Tempeh-as-bacon is my usual favorite way to enjoy it, but I was looking for a new way to prepare it. The result? Tempeh tacos! Not just any tacos–lettuce wrap tacos! Does that make…

2 hour kitchen blitz: Greek-style quinoa salad (lentils instead of chickpeas) stuffed chicken (the same I made for the last baby meal) and my favorite chocolate chip cookies, which ended up looking like pancakes. Still taste good, though 😉 I’ve had a few kitchen fails lately, including the brownies … I guess it’s bound to…

Girls night! The Pilot had a roll call (aka an official meeting among pilots that involves lots of Jeremiah Weed whisky), so Marisa and Michele (and Levi!) came over last night to hang out. I didn’t take a ton of pics, but it was so much fun to share some vino, get takeout from Renee’s…

Some random things about work lately: -When you work in the weight room, you have to empty out the towel bins. They’re sleek silver mesh trash can type things, and you carry it into one of the spa laundry rooms to empty the bin for housekeeping. You walk back to the weight room with said…

A glass of wine and jammies = pretty much the best way to cap off a Monday night. Or any night, really. When are you too old to wear the PINK collection? Actually, don’t answer that. Some other highlights from the day: –The Schweaty May workout Mom came over in the afternoon to hang…

Thursday! Almost the weekend, night of our work dance recital and the Pilot’s last workday before his long weekend – I’m a fan of that 🙂 I don’t have anything to exciting to show you on the food front, besides the things I didn’t make: (Stevia sparkling lemonade! So refreshing… I can’t wait to make…

Can we just take a moment of silence for these pants? All I need are some of those curly gold shoes, a magic carpet and a ridiculously good-looking- oh wait, nevermind 😉 Instead of the blue tank, I’ll be wearing this: About that. We had practice for recital during lunch again today and it was…

Hope you’ve had an awesome Thursday! <3 Some things from the day: -A posture and balance workshop. We used small balls and tennis balls for stretch and balancing poses, and wow. I feel 3 inches taller and like a NOODLE. My favorite one was on our back, placing a small firm ball on the back…

Woke up to a lovely surprise this morning…. That liquid stuff that falls from the sky. We don’t see too much of that over here 😉 As hard as it was to crawl out of bed, I LOVE going to work in the rain. I think it’s so cute seeing everyone walking around with their…

Ohhhh hey 🙂 What a day over here. Hope yours has been fun and productive as well! (love spring flowers) It was my second day back, and I thought today might be even harder than yesterday since it’s longer. The good news is that I’m not feeling quite as anxious as I was yesterday…. having…
