Breakfast: (Bob’s Red Mill hot cereal with frozen organic berries, Sun Warrior, coconut milk and almond butter + coffee) a gym trip to test out Summer Shape Up (starts 2 weeks from today!) (flowers at work- definitely not my flowers) Family trip to Jamba Juice…

Party mode

Purple shoes for Zumba (see the blanket of pollen on the ground? Not so fun) this button on the Pilot’s new wheels (I got scary excited when I saw it. The button transfers the balance to the back part of the SUV, perfection for tailgaiting) and a tamale. Party in my mouth. Our family tamale…

Indian food dreams

Sometimes you have to count on someone else to help out with the meals. Like Joe the Trader. Something about swimming –or bopping around holding a heavy baby- makes me so hungry. The Pilot was also starving when we got back home, so he did the bedtime routine with Liv while I whipped up a…

Just one more thing

Girls night! The Pilot had a roll call (aka an official meeting among pilots that involves lots of Jeremiah Weed whisky), so Marisa and Michele (and Levi!) came over last night to hang out. I didn’t take a ton of pics, but it was so much fun to share some vino, get takeout from Renee’s…

Doing work

Some random things about work lately: -When you work in the weight room, you have to empty out the towel bins. They’re sleek silver mesh trash can type things, and you carry it into one of the spa laundry rooms to empty the bin for housekeeping. You walk back to the weight room with said…

Schweaty May Workout

Thursday! Almost the weekend, night of our work dance recital and the Pilot’s last workday before his long weekend – I’m a fan of that 🙂 I don’t have anything to exciting to show you on the food front, besides the things I didn’t make: (Stevia sparkling lemonade! So refreshing… I can’t wait to make…

A whole new world

Can we just take a moment of silence for these pants? All I need are some of those curly gold shoes, a magic carpet and a ridiculously good-looking- oh wait, nevermind 😉 Instead of the blue tank, I’ll be wearing this: About that. We had practice for recital during lunch again today and it was…

More bang for your cardio buck

Hi friends 🙂 It’s almost the weekend! I’m so glad you liked the back workout– let me know if you give it a try! Since the Pilot and I are both (still) feeling a little under the weather –please be allergies- we had someone else do the cooking last night. Soup and salad FTW Treat…

Dijon chicken with sundried tomatoes and quinoa

Ahhhh, Sunday <3 It feels so nice to take it easy after a long day of teaching, and my favorite night owl decided to sleep in with me. We woke up to see our favorite woodpecker, snacking out of the hummingbird feeder.   Breakfast: (oats with Sun Warrior, defrosted cherries and almond butter + tea)…

We’re all out

Whenever Bella’s food dish is empty, she’ll clank the bowl and then walk over to us, as if to say, “You hear that, fools? I’m outta food. Feed me.” So you can imagine the fury that was unleashed when I walked over to the pantry, grabbed her bag of food and a few measly kernels…
