I’m going to get deep but let’s warm up to it. 

IMG_3180

1. These are the “marmi” clothes I tried on at TJ Maxx this week with Jen. I ended up with a workout tank, bigger sports bra and “marmi” flower bedtime pants. Chris’ (American) friend in Spain called the older Spanish women who wore flower print from head to toe, marmis. These are what I used to call: Birth Control. 

2. When searching for some SENIOR (AKA lower calorie) dog food yesterday for my curvy dog, I saw THIS and was a little put off. I chose another. I think this dog is cute! Charlie would have died if I brought this to him. The sugar-free gummy bear cleanse would be kinder (check the crude Amazon.com reviews-Chris sister told us about it last night-we were crying).IMG_3223

3. Does it get more personal than a photograph of something deep inside my bod? There is something wildly inappropriate about this and very possibly uninteresting to anyone but me, but this is the type of stuff I like to look at on the internet so here is a photo of the baby!

This is a photo I took at home while watching the 4D video ultrasound.

At one point during the ultrasound appointment, he started opening and closing that hand like a little wave. The doctor and technician laughed as Chris and I stared in complete shock. It always feels sneaky to me that we are spying on this little one.

    I love the ultrasound pic! It was so fun for us to compare the ultrasound pic to the kids when they were born. It’s amazing how accurate the ultrasounds are!

    ahh your baby photo is so cool – amazing how much detail you can see now. and love that he waved to you. also one of my dogs is a little plump and she would be offended over that ‘fat dog’ food too ha.

      🙂 yup, I would like to give credit to the Seattle winter last year for Charlie’s new figure. Now that we’re in LA, he’s doing yoga and drinking smoothies so it’s looking good!

After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, th After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, the varicose vein on my thigh was becoming really prominent.

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it. 

PS it’s been a staple food in my health journey.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!
