The sweet things
Sweet: -Being greeted by a bird booty every time we walk outside. Mama bird is protecting her eggs, and I’m so excited to hear baby birds chirping eventually 🙂 -Going grocery shopping for the baby meal at Basha’s –I usually go to Trader Joe’s or Sunflower Market because the prices are better- and being greeted…

Ahhhh, so good to be back home with my favorite people and fur child. Such a lady. Work was good today- no Zumba, but I assisted DJ Dance Cardio, taught a cardio/strength class, got a new suit for pool classes (Baywatch outfit no more!) and it was my first time teaching drums of death.…

Pairing crunches with other ab exercises is a winning combination, so check out this 5-minute ab workout or this barre ab burner for a balanced routine. For this post, I’m going to focus…

After teaching today, I was ready for a giant Oregano’s salad. Not just a “someone got heavy-handed with the lettuce” salad.. a “feed a family of 4” salad. Except the family of 4 was my face. Chicken, romaine, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, soaked raisins (my favorite part) and balsamic…

Woke up to a lovely surprise this morning…. That liquid stuff that falls from the sky. We don’t see too much of that over here 😉 As hard as it was to crawl out of bed, I LOVE going to work in the rain. I think it’s so cute seeing everyone walking around with their…

Zumba while you werk
Sometimes, cactus reminds me of the Pilot. That seems like a weird thing to say, but he is fascinated with it, especially since he grew up in the South. It’s weird to him that many Tucson homes have deadly plants in their yard, which is understandable. On the other hand, greenery and trees are kinda…

the Pilot saved a baby bird. Bella was in the backyard sniffing something, and wouldn’t stop when he told her to “leave it.” He walked over to see what it was, and it was a teeny baby bird in the rocks of our backyard, who had fallen out of his nest. He Googled to see…

I commend you. It was such a gorgeous day that we ended spending a lot of it outside and things got all kinds of domestic over here. The Pilot worked on the yard I planted some herbs… that I will eventually kill Livi was napping or chilling with us on the patio, and Bella enjoyed…

Did you know that if you have red sangria on a Wednesday, it automatically makes the rest of the week so much better? It is true. The Pilot played hooky today 😉 He took a day of leave so I could go to the dentist (and then couldn’t get an appointment). He still has 90-something…

It was a glorious St. Patrick’s Day and Saturday over here- hope yours was as well! <3 The morning started off on 4th Ave, which I haven’t ventured over to in quite a while. Little bars and a couple of clubs, lots of cute vintage shops, a health food store, restaurants, and coffee shops. It’s…

Coffee surprise
Hey guys! I LOVED this morning’s discussion about the Paleo diet. I had a feeling it might be controversial because it seems to be a love it or hate it kinda thing, but way to be respectful of each other while voicing your opinions. You’re a classy bunch, so I wouldn’t expect anything less 😉…
