oscar loves baskets

especially baskets that match his fur.

shhhh... he's sleeping.

I think he wants us to leave him alone.

work it out wednesday!: burpees

work it out?  a new feature on the blog?

you know it.

this is me.

sweaty.

doin' my thing with sweat in my eye.

I've been thinking that since I'm a personal trainer and fitness instructor, I should share some workouts with you.  These will be the types of workouts that I would do with the boot camp class that I teach.  If you move quickly, you can get it done quickly.  And I try to make sure that you don't need a lot of equipment so you can do this stuff at home.  So here's my first workout to share with you.

*if you're not sure what any of these are, Google!

Let's get in shape!!  woo.

(not so) spicy thai noodles

the mister hates spicy food.  it doesn't balance out his fiery personality.

so when I found this recipe, I knew he may put up a fight.

"what are you making?"

"oh just this thai noodle dish"

"is it spicy?"

geez, why does he always ask this question.

I used very few red pepper flakes.

in turn, my noodles were a little bland, but mister was happy and his personality remained balanced.

good flavor combination... recipe here.

Zoe loves toilet paper

Oscar loves that Zoe loves toilet paper.

hand embroidery for baby.

our friends just had a sweet little baby girl and I wanted to do something special for them so I decided to hand embroider some onesies for them.

If you're looking for some cute hand embroidery patterns that are fun and cool, urbanthreads is my favorite site (great for machine embroidery patterns as well!)

veggie BLT's

oh, Blogger, acting the fool and messing up my meatless monday post.  

so meatless tuesday it is!

the mister has been lovin' BLT's lately.  I recently introduced him to vegetarian bacon and he just can't get enough.

look at those beautiful tomatoes!

look at 'em!

so good.

he's been eating them every day for about a week now.
