Volcanooooooooo

Dinner at our house has been pretty chill the past couple of nights. Since there have been at least 10 people eating at any one time (my family is huge!), we’ve just been setting out different meal components, building plates and munching as we please. When I got home from work, my mom, nana and…

Quick hummus and veggie pizza

i think they’re definitely related 😉 Our aunt, uncle, and cousins got in from Key West last night, and since then, our house has been bustling with familia. I love it so much. It’s amazing to look at the girls and see their ranging ages- almost like having a glimpse into the future. Since they…

A kinda book/wine party

The Pilot and I have been in an excited frenzy- our family is coming in today from Key West and staying with us for a couple of weeks. We haven’t seen them in so long (my uncle since our wedding, and my aunt and cousin since we took a red eye to orlando 4 years…

Raindrops on cacti

It finally rained! We enjoyed the amazing sounds of heavy raindrops and thunder, with the TV off, being crazy productive and hanging out around the house. We got a lot of the baby-proofing done (will be in an upcoming family post) and as much as we enjoyed the rain, It was Livi’s first thunderstorm- as…

Farewell, Fred

Breakfast was one of the ordinary staples over here.  It was fun to do something a little different after bfast- we met up with Michele and Levi for a baby class. I’ll write a more thorough post about it on the Family page, but it was basically the cutest thing ever. We sang songs, they…

Healthy shrimp fried rice

For real. After being in a little bit of a dinner food rut, I feel like I had my mojo going this week as far as trying new things goes. First the chicken caprese salads, then the tempeh taco lettuce wrap things, and tonight: homemade spring rolls. I used to experiment with dinners all the…

Bird creeper

It definitely is a little funny to crack the blinds open, shove my camera lens in between the slats and snap multiple pictures. I have to get pics of the baby birds in the condo the Pilot built! Bird creeper… Aren’t they so cute?! The Pilot is also brainstorming some kind of blanket net for…

Day of Sun

Perfect way to spend a Sunday morning <3 I woke up a little groggy and super sore from teaching yesterday, so the Pilot suggested Sabino Canyon, for the first time in my life, I felt kind of “meh” about it. I quickly changed my mind. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we ending up walking…

Party mode

Purple shoes for Zumba (see the blanket of pollen on the ground? Not so fun) this button on the Pilot’s new wheels (I got scary excited when I saw it. The button transfers the balance to the back part of the SUV, perfection for tailgaiting) and a tamale. Party in my mouth. Our family tamale…
