Moreover, I’m sorry regarding the weblog down time yesterday and for these of you who tried to comment and it wasn’t working. I’ve publish little one bod on the an identical server, and PBB crashed my principal website!! We’re hoping that each half is mounted and safe, and my tiny PBB website may be transferring to her private server. There are some rising pains, nevertheless all good points.
Listed under are some adventures from lately. Monday was P’s first journey to the San Diego Zoo. Almost a yr outdated, and we lastly ventured to the zoo with some mamas and little one buddies from her music class.
I wasn’t optimistic if she’d be into it however, nevertheless she favored it. She pointed on the animals and babbled excitedly. Moreover, all you really want is a petting house (favored the goats!) and a hippo statue.
I taught a packed and large sweaty Spin class on Monday, and barre last night time time. Spin has been harder than typical lately. I really feel it’s on account of I do know that it’s going to take tons out of me, so I’ve wanted to really give myself a psychological pep converse the hour sooner than class. After wrangling the kiddos all day + working/cleaning/life-ing, I’m always like, “How are you going to encourage a room full of people correct now?” and in some way, it always happens. Class was superior. New songs on the playlist always help, too.
Proper right here’s one I’m loving correct now:
Scorching barre has been large busy lately, and I just like the vitality of a large group. It moreover really reminded me that I haven’t taken a full barre class shortly. Hopefully I can catch one rapidly!
As far as Livi goose goes, she’s getting truly excited for Halloween. They’ve realized some cute Halloween songs at school, and he or she cracks me up singing them in humorous voices.
We moreover wandered into Miss Match (I can’t help myself) to seek for a robe for an event for the Pilot’s work. I checked out some garments on Lease the Runway, nevertheless for the same price as a number of of my favorites, I would merely go to Miss Match and buy one. Formal garments will probably be hit or miss for me -many drag on the underside, even in my highest heels- so I most popular that I would attempt on just some decisions. In addition to, Miss Match had nothing. Now it’s too late to Lease the Runway, so the place do I’m going? The place do you buy formal non-prom garments? Nordstrom? Macy’s?
Eats-wise, after taking just a little little bit of time to prep, there have been some superior salads throughout the fridge.

a superb easy tuna salad
(with Safe Catch tuna

This salad was impressed by one from the native co-op. It’s humorous on account of after we first moved proper right here, I didn’t identical to the co-op. I knooowwwwww. Little did I do know that it’s a magical place.
It was expensive (appears in case you’re a member, prices go down 15%), they often had a smaller selection. Appears the small selection is on account of the shelf and fridge merchandise are curated fastidiously. They take care of licensed pure producers, and all of the retailer is vegetarian. After I took a cautious look, I seen that the cupboards are stocked with the best of the best, and was truly each half I would need for in a Total Meals journey (minus the licensed pure meat and wild seafood). As far as produce goes, there’s always a bounty of native and pure decisions. Upstairs, there’s a full vegetarian scorching bar with aromatic beautiful vegetarian meals, chilly salads, and hearty soups. It’s undoubtedly a sort of places I’ll miss.
I picked up a sweet potato salad, along with a cabbage soomi salad for lunch in the end. I was so shocked by the flavors of the sweet potato salad: lime juice with dried cranberries, herbs, and onions. Each little factor appeared random, nevertheless went collectively so successfully!
I wanted to recreate it at home.
