Stormy weather
It just started raining, thundering and lightning… not bad weather to write a blog post (take a nap, watch a movie, drink hot tea.. or all of the above). (I tried to get a good picture of the raindrops, but instead all you can really see is our play set that should be condemned) Before…

It finally rained! We enjoyed the amazing sounds of heavy raindrops and thunder, with the TV off, being crazy productive and hanging out around the house. We got a lot of the baby-proofing done (will be in an upcoming family post) and as much as we enjoyed the rain, It was Livi’s first thunderstorm- as…

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…
