8/18: Meals and fitness for the week

Hi friends 🙂 How has your weekend been? Ours has been great but, as weekends tend to be, over way too quickly. (Source) Yesterday marked the end of my “week sans sugar” cleanse.

We’ve had a great one: slowly cleaning up the Disneyland explosion that is our house, celebration for nana’s birthday, girls’ night, date night… not too shabby 😉 I’m actually really excited about planning our meals for this week because we have an old friend back in our lives:…

Like a nice summer meal

Hi friends 🙂 Thanks for all of your awesome feedback (and tips!) on our first 5k together. I can’t wait to run more races together as a family, whether they’re night races or later in the fall when it starts to cool down. For now, if want to run, it’s going to have to be…

5/26: Meals and fitness + adventures in home improvement

Anyone else obsessed with Home Improvement growing up? (photo source) JTT was my LOVE. I had posters from Tiger Beat plastered all over my wall, would write him letters and send little trinkets.

4/21: April Week 4 fitness Plan + meal ideas

First of all, Happy Birthday to my little bro Trevor! It’s so weird because I vividly remember when he was Livi’s age… now he’s all grown up and went to prom last night. I can’t believe he’ll be off to college next year. How’s your April treating you? It’s been such a beautiful month in…

3/24: Meals and fitness for the week

Every time we get back from vacation, I’m ready for some home-cooked eats again. It’s fun to dine out, but I often feel like I could make the same things at home, with a much smaller toll on the ol’ wallet. When we got back from La Jolla, I was READY to start making some…

Meals and Fitness for the week

Hi from San Diego! We decided to take a little long weekend getaway. I’m so excited to be here with my little fam, surrounded by ocean, seals… oh, and gluten-free cupcakes. What more could a girl wish for? We got into La Jolla at 2:30am- Liv was WIDE AWAKE and cracking up like a little…

Spring back

I wouldn’t even be able to articulate the joy in my heart when I looked at my phone this morning and saw that it was 8:42. Almost 9am!!! I heard Liv stir on the baby monitor, came downstairs to let the dogs out, put her milk in the warmer, started the coffee maker, and saw…
