12/11: Pics from the day
It was a perfect Sunday 🙂 Brunch at Nana’s was the standard amazingness, and everyone on my Dad’s side of the family got to celebrate Kyle and Meg’s engagement. A warm and toasty fire holiday decorations Sammi (!!!) hanging out with the fam and Nana’s wonderful food. She had everyone’s favorites (my beloved egg casserole…

As much as I love all holiday decorations and wintery things (SNOWMEN!), there’s one that’s not really my fave: Source tinsel. It’s made a comeback in the holiday decorating world over the past few years, but I can’t help but think of how hard it would be to clean up (especially with an artificial tree) and…
Read More →End it in pizookie
Any night that ends in “pizookie” is a good one. After the dance show last night, the Pilot and I each munched something random to hold us over until we determined what the rest of dinner would be. [I had a couple of sweet potatoes with goat cheese, and I have no idea what he…
Read More →3 Little Javelinas
is a lovely children’s story that was read to pretty much every Arizona child while they were young. It’s like a southwestern version of “The Three Little Pigs.” Even though I’ve always known about javelinas, I’ve only seen them from afar. A guest walked into my tubing class today and said “I saw a wild…

I don’t think Bell has a problem with her sporadic walking schedule since the weather has changed. We still play around the house to get the crazies out: she’s a fetch pro yesterday, we chased around the yard (she went into full on sprint mode! see the dirty paws?) and today, we snuggled on the…

Red and green quinoa lentil salad
I’m going to go ahead and blame my tiredness on the weather. 46* and raining all day. That’s gotta be it. Almost every day this week, around 6 pm, I’ve hit a wall. I’ve done a pretty good job fighting through it, but as far as cooking/dinner goes, it’s been a little rough. Lots…

Verdict on the car front: negative. It needs about 7 things done in the nearish future (3 are immediate), so looks like we’ll be getting the necessary stuff fixed and trading in Betty this weekend. Thank you for the SUV suggestions! They were so helpful and I’ll be sure to let you know what we…

Hey guys! I’m so glad you enjoyed the holiday gift guide. There are some gift ideas on the Family page, too, and I’ll post one for the dudes next Monday. It was a great day today <3 Kinda weird that the Pilot had to go to work –I got used to having him around after…

Guess who I got to kiss today?! Viesa! I was so excited to see her furry face. We went over to hang out with little Meg, my doula friend (Viesa’s new mom) and her family, so we got to cuddle Vies the whole time we were there. Love it <3 Of course, when we got…
Read More →While I was Zumba-ing
Back home from a sweaty Zumba class (got to dance with a blog reader and her family!) showered: fresh and so clean rocking my moccasins drinking tea and eating pie. Oh, and dreaming about Las Vegas. Vegas would be lovely right about now 🙂 And while I was gone, the painters were hard at work…

Scary Claus + Black Friday Frenzy Workout
It was a glorious Black Friday, complete with a workout to beat the craziness! Everyone enjoyed the day according to their leisure… I shopped, got in the aforementioned Black Friday workout (posted at the end for you!), a long nap and started putting up Christmas decorations. [Glass hurricanes and bowls + different sizes of ornaments…
