Let the Sunshine In!
Evidently it’s the week of song lyrics here at the blog :) That song was on during bootcamp this morning and it had the same effect as P!nk the other day. Bootcamp was RAD this morning-totally great. She loves to do yoga for strength with music and weights. LOVE IT. I do need to incorporate actual yoga as well. Maybe this weekend?
Before bootcamp I had some sprouted grain bread with PB and my pumpkin butter:
After my awesome class I made some juice. I threw this stuff in the Breville:
That’s a beet, half an apple, peppers, and a meyer lemon. It created this beauty:
Yom. Seriously. I think this is my favorite combo yet. They always say not to use liquid as a meal because it doesn’t fill you up-I completely disagree. When I lost 75 pounds 8 years ago (OMG I can’t believe it’s been that long!) I drank a smoothie almost every morning. I drank that at 7:45, it’s now 10:15 and I’m not hungry.
I had some fun with my little monkey this morning. Shaun is still sick so I didn’t have to rush, rush, rush to get out of the house.
What Mommy?:
Can’t you see I’m HONGRY?!?!?:
And then she got into the forbidden keys-but she was having so much fun I let her have them. I told her it was a “privilege”.
When I asked her to give them to Mommy, she did happily-YAY for that!
She’s developed 3 new words this week-“Daycare,” “Banana,” (rather than just “nana”) and “Diaper.” She’s getting SO big!
After I dropped her off at daycare, I stopped at Target to look for some rainboots. They didn’t have any but they did have this cute jacket and scarf:
Yes, I am in Target’s bathroom. Amber would have been so proud! While looking around the store I was looking at clothes and knowing how Amber would put them together. It was incredibly exciting. One problem? She’s got a completely different body type than me. I need to find a stylish chic out there (that blogs) that has a similar body type to me-short legs, super muscular, and broad shoulders (I like my shoulders and I think broad makes them sound bad but I don’t know how else to describe them). Anyone know of a blog like that?
If you’re interested, here’s the link to the trench.
I also got Lu some skinny jeans (!) and a very cute dress to wear with said skinny jeans.
And now, I’m off to work!

so cute! love the outfit! oh, and the fact that daycare is a new word 🙂
omg you look so cute!! I will search around for a blog for you! =) You just made my day btw!
You look so FAB and I love the color so cheerful! I need to add more color diversity to my wardrobe! I love fashion blogs but being on the budget makes it hard to find similar inspiration pieces.
I am also on the hunt for a fashion blog with someone who has my build which is short and busty! Look at Lu she is so stylish in her Paul Frank Sweater!
What do you need a bloggers’ style for yours is AWESOME! That jacket looks great on you, I love it!
My mom and her sister and in laws were known as the “R—– witches” for always dressing in sleek black clothing. It turns out I am way more like her every day. I wear black ALL THE TIME. I need to add more color to my life!
Your little girl is so stinkin cute! Where do you live? Are in you Cali? Hopefully we can all meet up some day!
PS your outfit is adorable! I have seen that jacket at my Target too… such a great color!
(Amber would so be proud… I need to be better at taking pics too)
I LOVE the jacket and I agree you have a great style, I was thinking you should come help me with mine! Lucy is just too adorable, and that monkey jacket is so cute. Aubree needs one. Love the juices, do you have a huge mess to clean up afterwards?
How do you find time to do all of that, including getting Lu ready & at daycare, before you head to work?? No wonder you are Superwoman!
Heather-I thought it was pretty cute too 🙂
Amber-Thank you for bringing into my life!!!!
Stacy-Aren’t fashion blogs so inspirational?!?!? A lot of the girls I read seem to get stuff from Target and Forever 21 which is really reasonable.
Sabrina-I need inspiration! Sometimes I don’t know how to combine clothes but reading blogs helps me, just like reading recipes makes me a better cook! I think bright colors look FABULOUS on you-even just a bright accent. You would look fab in all dark with a pop of burnt orange 🙂
Kara-Yep, I’m in the Bay Area. I agree, Lu is a cutie 😉 Are you in Cali too?
Amanda-Like I said above looking at blogs of girls who I think dress cute REALLY helps. As for the juicer, it is a pain to clean but it’s pretty quick. On mornings that I’m rushing though, I have to fill up the sink and let it soak because it takes about 5 minutes to clean and I only have about 25 minutes to shower, dress, put make-up on, make breakfast and get my food packed-I don’t have time for that 5 minutes!
Laura-Shaun gets Lucy ready most mornings. I just pick her clothes out. We normally leave the house at 7:20. So I get up at 5:30, gym 5:45-6:45, shower, get ready, food, etc from 6:55-7:20. It’s hectic but it works!
Lu is adorable!!!
Just looked at this picture again and you should HOW BIG MY SMILE IS =)
I agree with Rhodeygirl you have great style! And Kara is near Sacramento we should all meet up =)
Oh, Amber. I’m sure I’m not alone in this, but I check your blog on a very regular basis and love to see all your prituces even though I don’t know the people in them. This is the first time for me to comment, but I thought you should know there are people out there admiring your work even if they aren’t telling you. Thanks for all the posts.
That’s a creative answer to a difficult question
This “free sharing” of information seems too good to be true. Like communism.
Keep these articles coming as they’ve opened many new doors for me.
Well put, sir, well put. I’ll certainly make note of that.
