New and Old

I always tell myself to take it easy and pace myself for these things. But then when the time comes, and class starts, I get so excited, go a little cray,  and then it hurts to be alive by the end of the day. I’ve already learned so much –lots of new moves for upcoming…

9/30: Some pics from the day

It’s funny because with everything we did today, the camera barely seemed to escape the diaper bag. 7 mile run, brunch with nana and tata, trip to the farmer’s market (which was closing when we got there) to the Humane Society with Bell to see if we could find a friend -still waiting for the…

Not my skillz

One of my favorite things: taking a walk with my girls after work. It’s such a great way to end the day, and Bella appreciates the change of scenery. It’s also the icing on the cake when dinner is ready at home, waiting to be devoured: sweet potato and black bean chili! I didn’t have black beans…

They liked my playlist, which always helps things along, even when the particular class isn’t my forte. Afternoon snacks:   (Broccoli slaw with…

Vino and carne

Saucy

Two pro chefs in our kitchen?  Not a bad place to be…. While Meg, Liv and I hung out, my Uncle E and Kyle were busy whipping up an amazing feast. As soon as he got home from work, we made a Pilot sandwich… Sleepy girl went up to bed, and then the rest of…

Stormy weather

It just started raining, thundering and lightning… not bad weather to write a blog post (take a nap, watch a movie, drink hot tea.. or all of the above). (I tried to get a good picture of the raindrops, but instead all you can really see is our play set that should be condemned) Before…
