something to talk about
Back in Zumba action
Zumba, how did I miss thee? Let me count the ways: 1. The loud music made my heart sing 2. It felt good to bellydance sans a giant belly 3. Sometimes a girl’s gotta shake her booty to a wicked reggaeton and the list goes on. My friend Melissa taught class, and even though I’m…
Read More →Oatie-nola and body bars
This is what can happen when you eyeball a baked goodie recipe: While we were at the store, I grabbed the ingredients to make more of Heather’s fabulous oaties (including regular unsalted butter. I still don’t understand why they make salted butter in the first place, and why I always buy it by mistake). After…
Read More →Baby, man and creature
Flowers vino and a pizza picnic with three valentines (a baby, a man and a creature). How lucky does a girl get? 🙂 Hope that you had a fabulous night, too! This morning’s bfast was one of the usual suspects: (egg puff sandwich with greens, goat cheese and hummus, with strawberries and tea) I…

Last night, I did something I haven’t done in 5 weeks: went to the gym! It felt so good to be back. I was cleared to workout again on Monday, but didn’t quite feel energized enough for a gym workout until last night. The Pilot was home, Liv had a full belly, so I…
Read More →Five for fry-day
1. It’s definitely fry-day over here! (Sorry for the bag pic, but I like my sp fries warm.. they taste better while driving) I’m kind of a sweet potato fry connoisseur, and they’re a relatively new thing in Tucson. A few restaurants started offering them only a couple of years ago. The best are at…

Humpday! I always look forward to the weekend, and even more so now that the Pilot’s been back to work. I like hanging out with him 😉 This morning’s bfast was the last of nana’s egg casserole (I’ll ask her for the recipe- quite a few friends have asked for it) with tea and toast…
Read More →All over the place
It’s Friday!! Thank goodness 🙂 I’m so glad you liked the February list! I’ll also be posting the Schweaty February Workout on Monday as part of the last week of Winter Shape Up workouts. You guys inspired me with your comments, so I decided to go through the intimidating mail pile. I got distracted midway…
Read More →Week 3 + Show Me Your Shape Up
After lots of takeout and incredible baby meals (we have one left tonight), someone is back in grilling action…. (definitely not me- the Pilot) Last night Kyle, Meg and Ash came over and the Pilot grilled up an enormous filet of salmon, seasoned with orange juice and zest, sea salt, pepper, maple syrup and…
Read More →Swim in sorbet
I’m more of a cake girl (or pizookie girl!) than an ice cream girl, but twice this week, I’ve fully appreciated the beauty of sorbet. The Pilot and I took the family on a walk and then walked over to Frost for a little treat. Mango sorbet for me: Bella had vanilla It definitely stayed…

Focus On: Half Marathon Training
Back in the fall, I set a goal for myself: I really want to walk/run the half marathon here at the end of March. Now that we’re in January, and walking is pretty much the only physical activity I can do for the next week and a half, I still want to go for it.…
Read More →Hey, hemp
Another one of these hilarious videos: (I still like the originals and the yoga one the best) It definitely came to mind when I busted these out a couple of days ago: hemp seeds! Long time, no see. When my doc recommended upping my fat intake, hemp seeds was one of his suggestions as they’re…
Read More →Superbowl Snacks
Even though it isn’t for a couple of weeks, Superbowl hubbub is already in full swing. I’ve mentioned this before, but after all of football games I’ve been to in my life, I still don’t really understand it. (My second date with the Pilot was an Arizona homecoming game) I understand touchdowns and field goals,…
