Take your workout with you
‘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…

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…

It’s a gorgeous day today. Slightly cloudy and cool, perfect to leave the door to the backyard open so Miss Bell can run amuck and ideal for the Tour de Tucson, which started this morning. El Tour de Tucson is a huge road cycling event, held the weekend before Thanksgiving, and as many as 9,000…

Bella doesn’t even know what she missed out on. Whenever I ask her if she wants to go for a walk, she goes ccrrraazzzyy. She runs around, and as soon as she sees the harness, I have to catch her to actually put it on. She’s fine with the leash (and will even sit pretty…

I think I’d like to stay here a couple more days. Ocean, wildlife, shopping, amazing restaurants and yoga, not much more that a girl could ask for 😉 But I can’t help but wonder, does the novelty wear off? Friends that live in exotic or beachy locales, does it still feel as magical as it…

Hey from the road to Cali! [Random: We always sing “On the Road Again” when we get into the car for roadtrips, since we’ve taken so many together. Except we change the lyrics to “On the road again, we’re on the $*&@&*(@ &*@(!& road again”] I ended up crashing last night in the middle of…

Sneaky protein sources
Good morning <3 Happy humpday- hope it’s an amazing day for you. I loved reading your pet peeves and tips for gym etiquette- keep ‘em coming! Since it’s still pretty chilly over here –we turned the heater on last night- all I wanted was something hot and toasty for breakfast. Bowl of oats and hot…
