Baller

Iโ€™m officially sick of every song on my phone. Iโ€™ll download new songs on the computer and then forget to transfer them over, so when I workout, I end up scrolling through a mix of random stuff on my phone: the Mowtown CD I downloaded for beginning aerobics, old pop/rap/Zumba/rock songs, Christmas music and the…

The Bird House

When we were feeling domestic the other day, the Pilot picked up a hummingbird feeder, since we had quite a few different bird feeders in Valdosta. Itโ€™s been really successful. I came downstairs the other morning, and a HUGE turtle dove was eating out of the hummingbird feeder. I hope thatโ€™s ok? All of the…

Homemade Strawberry Sports Drink

Enjoy this homemade strawberry sports drink to hydrate before or after a workout. At a bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, they have the best infusionsโ€ฆfresh fruit soaking in vodka, which tastes dangerously like candy. Thatโ€™s all I can remember to tell you about those drinks. This strawberry infusion is a little bit healthier, and will help…

Back to the inspiration board

Oh, hey Monday. You sneak up on us so quickly ๐Ÿ˜‰ Since Iโ€™m on another breakfast kick (eating the same thing everyday until I get sick of it) letโ€™s talk about inspiration.

Land of bees and honey

A lovely, lazy Saturday over here <3 Breakfast on the patio: a Bella in the sun: and a blooming orange tree, which is making our entire backyard smell like honey.

Iโ€™ve mad a lot of gnarly-looking smoothies in my day. This one wins ๐Ÿ˜‰ Grey! Tastyโ€ฆ.. To make a grey smoothie: combo of banana, almond milk, spinach, berries, Sun Warrior, hemp seeds, almond butter and cinnamon.

Blanco

Did you know that if you have red sangria on a Wednesday, it automatically makes the rest of the week so much better? It is true. The Pilot played hooky today ๐Ÿ˜‰ He took a day of leave so I could go to the dentist (and then couldnโ€™t get an appointment). He still has 90-something…

The protein debate

Guess who grilled last night?! Actually no, not me. It was fun to pretend for a sec and โ€œcheck on thingsโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰ We did the usual routine: I prep, he grills. The Pilot is just so good at it, and you shouldnโ€™t mess with perfection, really. The star of the show was the veggies: salty…
