Dining in Portland
Oh Voodoo Donuts, it was hard to say goodbye. While we were in Portland. we ate at some seriously amazing places. Everything seemed to have a local and seasonal emphasis, and I was blown away by the availability of vegan/veggie options. Visiting a city like Portland always gives me a kick in the pants to…

Suitcase Roulette
When I pack for trips, it can go from one extreme to the other: super organized and planned to the last detail, or everything thrown in at the last minute when I realize I messed up my flight time and it’s 3 hours earlier. If I’m traveling with Liv, our suitcase is planned to the…

La Jolla Adventures

3/17: Some pics from the day
San Diego is in the top 3 places I’d love to live. It was a combo of the most relaxing and most stressful day. Liv got sick for the first time ever -she had an entire banana this morning (not the first time)- but it didn’t quite agree with her. I think we’re all a…

Meals and Fitness for the week
Hi from San Diego! We decided to take a little long weekend getaway. I’m so excited to be here with my little fam, surrounded by ocean, seals… oh, and gluten-free cupcakes. What more could a girl wish for? We got into La Jolla at 2:30am- Liv was WIDE AWAKE and cracking up like a little…

What I’m taking back home with me
This past weekend, I traveled alone. As much as I missed my family -I had a couple of rough moments being away from Liv- I know it was good for me. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” and all that stuff, right? I knew she was having a blast with her daddy and that I…

After a weekend of picturesque views, healthy culinary delights, being pampered and learning (new fitness and health techniques, and also about myself) it’s time to head back to the land of cacti. Before I get back in the swing of life, I wanted to take a post to talk about all of the amazing food…
