today’s tip
Work, then play
I’m finally back home for good- lots of fun and running around today! Work, car shopping and a party at a friends’ house. In between classes, I came back home to grab a sweet potato with almond butter, and take a smoothie back with me. (my #smoothieaday was mango, spinach, Sun Warrior, hemp seeds, almond…

Slow cooker shredded Mexican chicken
A glass of wine and jammies = pretty much the best way to cap off a Monday night. Or any night, really. When are you too old to wear the PINK collection? Actually, don’t answer that. Some other highlights from the day: –The Schweaty May workout Mom came over in the afternoon to hang…

The Pilot’s girlfriend
I’ve gotten a few requests about giving relationship tips, dealing with deployments, how the Pilot and I keep from fighting, stuff of the like. My only real relationship tips are: you’re a team, don’t nitpick the little things that don’t really matter, and do something everyday to show the other person you love them. As…

The sound of silence
We enjoyed last night’s taco dinner sans the usual background music of the TV. Our satellite provider was having some issues, so we turned the TV off for the night. I can’t believe how peaceful it was without it.. but I will be excited to catch up on Giuliana and Bill later today 🙂 Work…

Totally called it. The Pilot woke up, saw that the birds were still failing miserably at their nest attempts, so he built them a nest platform. Cribs, bird-style: He did a good deed, and I think it’s for our benefit, too… I would be traumatized if the baby birds fell out and crashed onto…

Hey guys! IT’S FRIDAY <3 Thank goodness, ehh? All I’ve got for ya is half a breakfast: Someone is going through a growth spurt, and things have been a little cray over here. She discovered a new octave in her repertoire and the first time she did it, I couldn’t help but laugh because she…

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…
