Chicken Crust Pizza + WSU Giveaway 2
Yesterday, I was really in the mood for some pizza. Actually I’m not sure what it’s like to not be in the mood for pizza. The only dilemma: we had no crust ingredients, and Livi was snoozing peacefully upstairs. I thought of the ground organic chicken we had in the fridge: and decided to make it…

Lots of time spent with my little sidekick, whose hair is officially long for pigtails (can we just take a moment? I can’t even handle it) and goes crazy for green juice. The girl…

Booty burning Walking Workout + the runner’s dilemma
A few fitness tools that can be deceiving: -playground balls (they look nice and whimsical, but can make your thighs feel a fiery fury) -the Stairmaster (it’s easy scoff at the ‘master since you’re moving slowly, but it’s one of the most challenging cardio workouts for me) -kettlebells (before I really knew how to use…
