Zumba with me! “Se Le Ve”
One week in and I’ve already dined out.. during Dine-In December. It was a long day at work and I had no idea what I was going to cook for dinner, feeling a little apprehensive after the tempeh fail. A good friend asked me to join her for dinner after Liv was already in bed,…

“Daaaamn, girl” December Workout
That’s the only title that came to mind.. so I’m just gonna roll with it 😉 Not only are other people going to be thinking that when they see your results, but that’s how you’ll feel after each workout: proud of yourself! And ready for a shower. This workout is meant to be completed circuit-style…

10 Ways to Make it a Delightful December
Hi! Catching up from the weekend? We ran a Color Vibe 5k and also have a new sister for Bell. I’ll be posting Caroline’s story later today, but in the meantime, here are some ideas to Carpe December 🙂 It’s definitely one of my favorite months, and while I wish it didn’t go by so…

Namaste November Re-cap + a new challenge!
I have to admit that I’m not a huge Phoenix fan…. until I get there. It’s silly because Phoenix has way more to offer as far as restaurants and shopping go, but Tucson still has a lot to choose from with the smaller, more intimate feeling of a small town. (Whole Foods seems to have…

In the spirit + Friday Faves
Everyone is in the holiday spirit in our house, especially Bella with her snowflake bandana. We decked the halls the other night, and it always feels so good to take out our ornaments after they’ve been packed away. Last year was incredibly sentimental because when we’d previously packed them up, we had no idea where…

Whenever things are stressful and stuff is going on, dancing always has a way of helping me put things in perspective, or even just forget about them and enjoy the moment. I mentioned before that one of us was supposed to have surgery today, but it turns out that it’s not for another week. We…

Merrier, brighter
Whew! Woke up feeling a little sore from yesterday’s long run. I’m definitely still breaking in the new Brooks, and while I like them so far, they don’t have the same mold-to-my-feet feel that the beloved Asics had. (Which is to be expected since I’d been working out in the same Asics for almost a…

My kinda turkey trot
Hi friends- hope you’re enjoyed the weekend so far and had a safe, healthy holiday! It was a great Thanksgiving. (Hands in the air if you agree pies should be sold like that haha) Wednesday night, I decided to go to a Zumbathon “Turkey Trot” at the park. I always love to check out other…

Bday uniform
Thank you so very much for all of the wonderful birthday love and comments today… you sure know how to make a girl’s day <3 It was a perfect birthday. For starters, Oliv and I didn’t get out of our jammies until after 4pm. Side note: every thing I said about my legs not hurting…

Birthday
Welp, another birthday, another year older. Shall we begin the special treatment? Bahaha. Birthday pomp and circumstance makes me a little shy. For starters, whenever anyone draws attention to me and sings “Happy Birthday,” especially if a Japanese drum and fruit boat are involved, I look like a beet afterwards. A card and a cake…

Hurry for the curry
I ran 9 miles yesterday morning. It was awesome. And by awesome, I mean terrible. I just didn’t have my running mojo. It was a rough night of sleep -I always do that to myself when I know I have to wake up early- and when I got in the car, I realized I’d…

It’s a celebration
(lyrics to one of the songs that was on the “banned from the wedding” list along with “Electric Slide”) Indeed it was 🙂 When the Pilot got home from work, the entire family was here and dinner was hot and waiting. Madre grilled steaks, and I made twice-baked potatoes (with turkey bacon, chives, veggie broth…
