Good morning! Happy Friday and a very happy CINCO DE MAYO! Any fun plans for tonight? We don’t have anything specific planned other than cleaning our house for our overnight visitors (Dave and Marie). I’m sure we will end up celebrating in some way… Cinco de Mayo is such a fun holiday—we need to do something ! Soooooo, I heard you guys loud and clear when you asked for more everyday/day in the life posts, so I’m going to do my best to share more of these types of blog posts. I’m still trying to figure out the right balance, but I will make it work! That said, here’s a little recap from yesterday. Let’s kick it off with a cute pug photo, shall we? That face… My morning started bright and early when Mal’s alarm went off at 5:19 AM. He’s up and at ‘em, but I’m more slow moving. Murphy jumps out of bed and does the “pug dance” before he lets me pick him up. (I carry him downstairs in the morning because he’s the LOUDEST frickin’ creature when he runs down the stairs for breakfast,...

If you needed another reason to dip your chip (or better yet, a crisp veggie) into a bowl of yummy guacamole, a new comprehensive research review has offered a good one.   The review , published in the journal Phytotherapy Research , evaluated the results of 129 studies to determine the effects of the avocados on various aspects of Metabolic syndrome, which is a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke.   The review concluded that the vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and certain phytochemicals (natural plant chemicals that help fight and prevent disease) in avocado may help combat blood pressure, diabetes and other components of Metabolic syndrome and provide a natural alternative to other forms of treatment.   “The pharmacologically active constituents” of avocado are not only “nutritionally valuable,” the authors write, but also “possess antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in some studies.” They also h...

Good morning!! So, this week… slowest week ever?! Jeez Louise, it’s dragging, and I’ve been a day ahead all week long. Tuesday felt like Wednesday. Wednesday felt like Thursday. Meh. I hate when that happens. But, we’re getting close to the weekend, right? And, hey, Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, so that’s something to look forward to. Well, just wanted to say ‘hello’ and share some adventures from our life lately. Smiling pug face = the best <3 So, over the weekend, we discovered a new local restaurant with a great outdoor patio called Arrow in Pembroke. (A few people messaged me on Instagram for details, so I figured I’d share here for the local readers.) The food is just so-so (it’s your typical bar food), but the atmosphere is awesome. It’s a perfect spot for summer if you’re from the area! A photo from Saturday night: Qman and his (girl)friend sitting on the coach, eating chips while watching Paw Patrol. Cutest thing ever! I’m doing an elimination diet ( LEAP ) with Kelli ...

^^Thar she grows! Tomatoes are in! Bosoms Remember how I ordered the ThirdLove bra  to try? Disliked. I hate to ever be negative, but it was just the same as any old T-shirt bra I’ve tried. Weak aka not supportive fabric. I sent it back. I am still on the hunt for a few good new bras, as mine are on the old side and I had to toss one out. I am giving this True & Co one a try after a friend raved about it, and I ordered one of my favorite sports bras  from Victoria’s Secret again. I am looking for some strappy sports bras to wear under casual clothes this summer when it’s 90 degrees and Mazen wants to go around the block on a bike ride, so I am trying out this one  and this one  from VS too. Their sports bra prices are better than most of the higher end companies too. Stairs Gussie was having a hard time on the wooden stairs, so we DIYed a runner for them. I used two Dash & Albert runners just like the Young House Love tutorial . Thomas was able ...
