I spy a toddler in the backseat who is still awake! So much excitement, so many visits and visitors and too many treats over the last few days. #Christmas2015 #toddlerlife #familylife #holidays

Celebrating with Mr C's side, his friends who have become my family. ❤️ #Christmas2015 #marriage #family #love #mytribe

2+ miles around the neighborhood this Christmas Eve morning. Missed my Tuesday walk to rain and this keeps me able to enjoy the richness of the holiday season. #ChristmasEve #run #runner #running #runningmom #fitmom #fit #fitmomsofig #fitmomsofinstagram #SanGabrielValley #SGV #Pasadena #SanMarino #neighborhoodrun #localrun #holiday #holidayfitness #holidayrun

Since I can't clean the floors until the toddler naps, I can go for a run, right? #run #runner #momlife #runningmom #holidays #holidayfitness #fitness #fitmom

It took the toddler less than one minute to do all this. This is why I have five unfinished projects since yesterday. #momlife #toddlerlife #thetwos #terribletwos #alltoysondeck #parenting #parentingblog #lifestyleblog #houratatime

Last holiday dessert to be finished! Cookie Dough Truffles. Technically, these are a protein snack, but I think frozen and dipped, will make a lovely treat! #cookiedough #truffles #peanutbutter #chickpeas #garbanzobeans #milkchocolate #holiday #christmas #treat #dessert #homemade #isitchristmasyet

Beautiful holiday decor for a quick date of bubbles & appetizers! We are about to join Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade with the fan. #DanaPoint #DanaPointHarbor #holidays #boatparade #socal #oc #christmas #cannons (at Cannons Seafood Grill)

A "run" before a family Christmas celebration tomorrow. Earning my lasagna! 12+ minute miles, which isn't bad with not running last weekend. Feeling strong and ready spend time with family. @rosebowlstadium #run #runner #running #walk #jog #strong #strength #stronger #mom #fitness #fitmom #fitmomsofig #fitmomsofinstagram #Pasadena #ArroyoSeco #SanGabrielValley #SGV #socal #la #suburbs (at Rose Bowl - 3 mile track)

My baking for the day: clockwise: mint & chocolate chip cookies, mint chocolate brownies, chocolate fudge brownies and chocolate & sea salt brownies. Four family holiday celebrations and a few homemade gifts. Happy holidays, baked with love!! #homemade #homebaked #holidays #holidaybaking #chocolate #mint #mintchip #chocolatechip #cookie #brownie #seasalt #seasonal

Brownies. Left tray has crushed chocolate mints sprinkled. Right one-half will get a light sprinkle of sea salt during the last few minutes of baking. #holiday #baking #homemade #homebaked #brownie #brownies #mint #seasalt #chocolate

Great walk today, despite the 50F temps in this LA suburb! It's a beautiful day and I got to enjoy my podcasts and my toddler play at the park. #walk #jogger #joggingstroller #graco #bikewheels #fit #fitmom #fitmomsofig #fitmomsofinstagram #weightloss #postpartum #strong #strength #hills #push #SGV #SanGabrielValley #Pasadena #SanMarino #outdoor #exercise #fitness #lifestyleblog

A quick meaty tomato sauce for pasta tonight, using leftovers from a tri tip we slo cooked a few days ago, half an onion from the fridge, and pantry staples tomato paste/sauce. Smells yummy! #usewhatyouhave #leftovers #homemade #homecooking #slowcookedbeef #quicktomatosauce #pasta #dinner #eatathome #nowaste #lifestyleblog #foodblog
