House divided
Over here, it’s an equal split between the early birds (Bell and I are wide awake) and the night owls. (Pilot and baby are snoozing away) Early bird gets the… waffle 😉 A quick breakfast with two Van’s waffles, topped with almond butter and jelly, a salad with Goddess dressing and an egg + tea…

About and out
After last blogging about living in cave mode, we were out and about all day today… and it was glorious. I packed up a little breakfast (nothing like a turkey sandwich in the morning) and we went to the squadron to say hi, 2 doctor appointments, a lab appointment and back home to free Miss…

I spoiled my dinner tonight…. in the best way possible. After this afternoon’s acupuncture appointment –which was much-needed. I missed it!- I went to Whole Foods to grab a couple of things and get a smoothie since it was on the way home. tropical green with mango, kiwi, pineapple, banana, spinach, kale and coconut…

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…

A lovely morning for chocolate (it’s hard to decide between dark chocolate with sea salt or almonds. This bar has both, which solves the dilemma. I always like a piece in the morning while breakfast cooks to wake me up) eggs and toast and a superfun Zumba class. I’m excited to get to take classes…

Every morning when I wake up, and every night before bed, I burn a few candles. It’s a calming thing, and I think it makes the house smell so lovely. (Fresh Balsam from Bath and Body Works is my holiday candle obsession… I have 4 of the large ones dispersed around the house, as well…

Santa came early! I’d been lurking the oGorgeous website since the new bags were released, and the above silver bag was on my Christmas list. I was beyond excited when my friend Cassey offered to send me one- it just arrived today. As you guys know, I hardly ever do product reviews on the blog,…

‘Tis the season for cookie overload shopping ‘til you drop holiday parties (Dick van Dyke!) cards (we got 4 today and I realized that we’re slackers) and my favorite part: spending time with family and friends. Sometimes this includes traveling to be with those you love, or entertaining out-of-town company. One of the things…

Morning friends! <3 Hope you had a lovely weekend. It was quite a whirlwind over here: -Winterhaven: Kyle and Meg got engaged (!!!) –Brunch at Nana’s and the Street Fair Lots of fun stuff! And now it’s Monday…. Source Nothing like a kick in the pants to remind yourself of all the things on the…

Today, I was on-call for work since my schedule is winding down until my leave begins. I didn’t plan on being off in case they needed extra coverage, but ended up not having to go in. So, instead of teaching, I got to enjoy my first Brother’s Breakfast and spend the morning with these two…

Verdict on the car front: negative. It needs about 7 things done in the nearish future (3 are immediate), so looks like we’ll be getting the necessary stuff fixed and trading in Betty this weekend. Thank you for the SUV suggestions! They were so helpful and I’ll be sure to let you know what we…

Everyone enjoyed the day according to their leisure… I shopped, got in the aforementioned Black Friday workout (posted at the end for you!), a long nap and started putting up Christmas decorations. [Glass hurricanes and bowls + different sizes of ornaments…
