Dust off the mat

I did it. Something about hearing your stories about getting back in the swing of things lit a yoga fire under my booty, and I actually went to a class tonight. I had my yoga mat propped up by the garage door all day as a visual reminder (and it โ€œOmโ€-ed at me every time…

Reader’s Request: Healthy Halloween!

Halloween is a great time to reminisce about the excitement of being dressed up in costume (and mad because mom made me wear a sweater with my sparkly Little Mermaid outfit because it was cold), swapping details with neighborhood friends on where the โ€œgoodโ€ houses are, and filling bags to the brim with candy. Around…

Quality control

One of the perks about making goodies for other people? Making sure they taste ok ๐Ÿ˜‰ [Side note: roon with almond butter may be the most insane combo ever] Sending roons for the giveaway winner + a batch to an unsuspecting reader tomorrow! Today at work was my lucky day. I got to assist 3…

San Diego, which of course in German means…

you know the rest ๐Ÿ˜‰ Last night was Bellaโ€™s dream night. We took her for a long walk at the park โ€“ which I especially enjoy since the Pilot and I can catch up on the day- and then to Frost for gelato. Vanilla for her: Pumpkin for him, and a peanut butter truffle for…
