In the best way
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…

Slow cooker applesauce
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…

‘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.

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…

Scary Claus + Black Friday Frenzy Workout
It was a glorious Black Friday, complete with a workout to beat the craziness! 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…

until the Pilot comes home. Or anyone else comes over. At least she makes me feel like her BFF for most of the day 😉 Bell has a little bit of cabin fever, hence the stink eye. I don’t teach on Tuesdays, so I almost always manage to get in a long walk with her,…

What a fabulously lazy Sunday We slept in and then met up with the fam at Millie’s Pancake House for breakfast. It’s pretty much the spot for brother’s breakfast, so the boys go there often, but I haven’t had a full meal there in years. Millie’s is a cute little place, and I love that…
