December 1st- Pray Together December 2nd- Take a Family Photo December 3rd- Listen to Each Others Favorite Christmas Song December 4th- Share Your Favorite Christmas Memory We both agreed […]
Christmas Eve Ginger Bread House Construction and Deconstruction Christmas Eve dinner was simple and low stress (I think we needed that after all the wedding planning) but super delicious! Tamales and salad, chips and salsa, shrimp cocktail and wine.... pretty much my favorite meal EVER. We had decided to go to midnight mass, so in […]
Why Stress, Worry, and Food Guilt Are Worthless I don't know about you guys but man I enjoyed some amazing food this past Christmas, I dug in and didn't worry one-second about holding back. If I wanted M&M's I went for it, or anything else for that matter. A while ago, I read this article […]
Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Almost Christmas! I woke up super early this morning to get to crossfit, I was just going to workout on my own after work but the gym owner urged me to come and said he'd cut me lose 10 minutes early so I could get ready for work. I was […]
Happy almost Christmas Eve everyone! Man I was in a good mood driving to work this morning, I was singing along to Christmas music and smiling even when I was sitting in traffic... thats how you know I was in a good mood. Maybe it was this amazing chocolate mint coconut milk I found at […]

So this week is going to be somewhat short post since it's finally going to be Christmas! Grocery shopping was done Saturday night/Sunday morning... Sprouts Trader Joe's Menu Plans Soooo I have to work all week minus half day on Christmas Eve and off on Christmas so I still kind of have to plan meals […]
Happy almost Friday everyone! Today was crazy crazy crazy busy like pretty much every other day this week. It started kind of hectic because we took my car into the shop so I had to drop Paul off at work and we were running a little late because I of course prioritized making the morning […]
Yesterday morning started with some yummy and pretty much standard green juice. Like usual I ate breakfast at work that I packed ahead. On today's menu was scrambled eggs, spinach, and feta with ½ a sweet potato. Of course I had my dark roast coffee with a splash of egg nog in it. Delish. (Looking […]
Tuesday morning I remember I was so hungry at 6:30am, which is usually not like me. I hadn't planned to eat till I got to work but I grabbed a banana to damn the stomach growling beast. Since the advent jar refuses to give me a reason to go to get Starbucks, I decided early […]
Last nights dinner (and the night before's dinner and today's lunch... cook once eat all week thats my motto) was so easy to make and so delicious I just had to share it, so here it goes! I started with green salsa and 6 corn tortillas The first layer I added was a […]
Where did Monday go? Monday was so busy I feel like I barely took a deep breath in. I got to the office around 7am and caught up on email etc until I had breakfast. I packed a flour-less pancake (1 egg, ⅓ cup egg whites, 1 banana, 1 T ground flax) with peanut butter […]
Last Saturday we I got to run in the 12K's of Christmas Race which benefited the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control efforts. Unfortunately I didn't take many pics and didn't have my personal photographer Paul because guess who ran too?????? Yep, first race as a married couple (or ever)! Usually half my motivation to […]
Another weekend bites the dust and its time to start getting ready for another week. At least this morning was nice, we got to go to church where we got married and they were selling freshly roasted cinnamon almonds... ...and then we had an epic breakfast complete with scrambled eggs, chicken sausage and potato hash, […]
I had to clear out my iphone last night to make room for an update and I thought I'd do a little something different for Friday and share with you the randomness..... Missy at the Vet Missy hanging out My sister in laws broken toe after my bachelorette party, thats how you know we had […]
Tuesday nights advent gifts were a lot of fun! Paul got me white chocolate truffles and the cutest little stuffed reindeer I ever saw. His name is "Alpine" and apparently his birthday is Dec. 21st, I think I'll bake him something 😉 Beanie babies, doesn't that take you back? I got Paul a joke gift […]
Hey everyone, how did your Tuesday go? Mine was pretty A-Ok considering there were no stalled semi's this morning on the freeway. I started my day off with some good old green goodness. While I was making it the coffee pot flicked on and started brewing (after only two days of use I am still […]
Yesterday's advent jar we may have cheated and drew a couple times until we found one that wouldn't require us to leave home since Paul is feeling a little under the weather. We got/decided upon "Make a top 10 list about your relationship," here is what we came up with: This morning I wrestled with […]
Hello hello out there, today has been rather busy for a Sunday. BOOOOOOO I HATE BUSY SUNDAYS! My ideal Sunday includes mass, a book, leisurely internet shopping, and some wine.... in that order. Today however included last minute grocery shopping and winter business cloths shopping. BTW I do not find business cloths shopping a fun […]
Happy Saturday! This morning I got up, grabbed a half a banana and a granola bar and headed out the door for a long run. I drove to the Scottsdale Green belt where I used to do my long runs when I was training for the half marathon that never was. I have to admit […]
