today’s tip
I’m her favorite….
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…

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…

It was a lovely Thursday over here. Lots of Bella-snuggling, errand-running and getting things ready for the busy weekend ahead. After I tested out the Schweaty November Workout –should be up tomorrow am!- I snacked on many Popchips (I used to not like the texture of them, but they’ve grown on me. kettle chips are…

*******This giveaway has already ended. Stay tuned for more! Hey everyone! How was your day? I was blown away by all of your awesome comments and sweet compliments on the Zumba videos. Even though it’s a little more challenging than it usually is, I still love teaching so.so much. Dancing makes me happy and is…

We found our Halloween costumes! The Pilot is a video game nerd and I am a sleepy blogger. I’m saving Bella’s costume until absolutely necessary –to take blog pictures on Monday- because she’ll hate me the entire time it’s on… She will not tolerate antennae for longer than 5 minutes. I think we both knew…

One of the perks about making goodies for other people? Making sure they taste ok 😉 [Side note: roon with almond butter may be the most insane combo ever] Sending roons for the giveaway winner + a batch to an unsuspecting reader tomorrow! Today at work was my lucky day. I got to assist 3…

It had to happen. After posting about the dark chocolate almond milk yesterday, you guys started flooding my brain with amazing chocolaty almond suggestions. I knew it would be good in smoothies and baked goodies, but hadn’t even thought about heating it up to make hot chocolate or, as Vanessa suggested, steeping mint tea in…
