Spirit of flubs

Oh friends. In the spirit of starting off the day talking about flubs, the pattern just continued from there. I dropped a glass plate while Liv was napping -which, shockingly didn’t shatter but managed to clank and bounce all over the kitchen floor before my butterfingers could grab it- and then later this morning, we…

11/18: Video of the day

It was a perfectly lazy and lovely Sunday. We walked at Sabino Canyon while the Pilot and my stepdad ran, enjoyed time hanging out at the house and fought the urge to put up Christmas decorations, even though they’re beckoning to me. The highlight of the night was teaching at a Zumbathon to raise funds…

The sweet spot

We’ve spent almost all of our Friday outside- it’s the “sweet spot” in Tucson when the scorching heat takes a vacay and pleasant breeze takes over. It’s short-lived before it becomes freeeeeezing (which in AZ is about 30-40*- I’m a wuss and I know it), so I love to take advantage of this time as…

Margarita-run

The Pilot is off work today for the holiday and we were so excited to start the morning off with a family run at Sabino. But alas, the Bob has its first flat tire. Sad trombone. Instead, the Pilot offered to stay home with Liv while I went out for a little Sabino run. It…
