7/13: Friday Faves
This candle: I almost always have a candle burning, and picked that one up at the BX last weekend for $4. It smells clean and lovely. Baby’s first hummus. I made Liv a plain hummus for dinner last night (just chickpeas, water, a little oregano and garlic) and she went crazy for it. We’ve got…

Hey everyone! I’m sorry for all of the blog down time yesterday. The blog crashed the server, so the hosting company shut it down. My awesome web wizard was hard at work fixing the problem and making changes, and since I’m not techie at all (if I touch the blog, something catches fire and then…

Walking into spiderwebs
How’s your weekend going so far? Yesterday was Family Friday at the squadron bar. It was great to catch up with the wives (the theme was Hawaiian BBQ) and hold Livi while she sucked on cantaloupe- she LOVED it- and we all had a lot of fun. Last night was also my last Friday night…

I’ve always thought the Pilot and I make a pretty good team, but it’s even more apparent now with a little one in the house. We don’t have to ask or say anything -we just help each other out. He stays home with Livi on Saturday while I go to work, I’ll get to see…

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,…

[Said in my best Barefoot Contessa voice] Socks that actually match: (Just picked up a few packs at Target. At work it’s pretty much assumed that my socks never match, and then it got to the point where I was lucky to…

Healthy shrimp fried rice
For real. After being in a little bit of a dinner food rut, I feel like I had my mojo going this week as far as trying new things goes. First the chicken caprese salads, then the tempeh taco lettuce wrap things, and tonight: homemade spring rolls. I used to experiment with dinners all the…

Balsamic Chicken Caprese Salad
It was a nice, lazy day, filled a few adventures. Breakfast: (Bob’s Red Mill hot cereal with frozen organic berries, Sun Warrior, coconut milk and almond butter + coffee) a gym trip to test out Summer Shape Up (starts 2 weeks from today!) (flowers at work- definitely not my flowers) Family trip to Jamba Juice…

Perfect way to spend a Sunday morning <3 I woke up a little groggy and super sore from teaching yesterday, so the Pilot suggested Sabino Canyon, for the first time in my life, I felt kind of “meh” about it. I quickly changed my mind. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we ending up walking…

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…
