something to think
A chef in the kitchen
A cloudy day: Perfect for morning tea and chocolate and there’s a chef in the kitchen making breakfast…. I’m a fan of that. Kyle accidentally went in to work too early, so he came to chill over here for a while. For breakfast, he made parfaits with gf granola, blackberries, bananas, blueberries and goat’s…

“Want a sandwich?”
It’s definitely cave mode over here. I walked outside this morning to let Bell do her thing, and the fresh air felt so nice. It kind of reminds me of when I’d be home sick from school and then on the day I went back, the sun would seem so bright. Maybe we’ll take…
Read More →Focus On: the scary cable pulley thing
It’s no wonder many people fear the weight room… some of the equipment in there can look like forms of torture devices. Source Example A: the cable pulley. Back in the day, I didn’t mess around with these things for a looooong time. The fact that everything was adjustable (height and handles) intimidated me, and…
Read More →No place like home
and no hound like Bell 🙂 Everyone is slowly getting into the swing of things as a new little family. More deets on the Family page, but I wanted to thank you all again for being so encouraging and wonderful this weekend. It was a life-changer, for sure, and we couldn’t be happier <3 Since…

Unseasonable
Thank you so much for the Bella well wishes <3 After a day of snuggling, a bland diet of rice and boiled chicken (she LOVED that) and some Pepcic AC (per the vet’s suggestion), she seems to be back to her Bella self. I loved reading your at-home yoga tips, too- can’t wait to check…

Breakfast pizza
Two days in a row of seeing the sun rise (it’s amazing what an extra hour or two will give ya in the morning) and this breakfast. I call it breakfast pizza, but it’s more like an unrolled wrap. Same thing 😉 Brown rice tortilla with Dijon spread onto it, 2 eggs, goat cheese, mixed…

In with the new
Our New Year’s Eve was filled with family friends (of the human and fur variety) food and fireworks. Ball so hard. Fireworks were illegal here for a long as I can remember, and just a few years ago, they changed that. Needless to say, my brothers and husband were very excited… We ended up…

Sugar buzz
I’m still sugar-buzzed from last night. (GF ones in the middle, regular on the sides) Of course, the ones we messed up were dubbed “eaters” 😉 Everyone came over here to decorate the sugar cookies that mom, nana and I made the other night. Before our friends came over, I rolled out the dough…
Read More →It was a day
To switch up my usual long walk with a DJ dance cardio class (something about Pitbull and booty-shaking makes a day so much better) to test out out my new infinity scarf (finally, a scarf I can’t mess up! I look like a goofer in regular ones) to fight the masses at Costco (don’t let…
Read More →3 Little Javelinas
is a lovely children’s story that was read to pretty much every Arizona child while they were young. It’s like a southwestern version of “The Three Little Pigs.” Even though I’ve always known about javelinas, I’ve only seen them from afar. A guest walked into my tubing class today and said “I saw a wild…
Read More →Din for the win
Last night when the Pilot got home from work, I had showered and was wearing real, non-workout clothes (a feat when you’re fighting fatigue) and tonight, dinner was ready and waiting. I’m on a roll, friends 😉 The Pilot LOVES pulled pork, but it’s one of those things that I don’t think to make until…
Read More →Betty’s last chance
We found out Christmas lights are a major to-do in our neighborhood. We’re really happy with how our interior decorations came out –so festive!- and the Pilot put up Christmas lights for the first time. He did an amazing job, and we have a single strand of sparkly lights on the roof. I was in…
