Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re enjoying the morning. It’s been a wild and crazy week over here. I thought the girls had school today but it turns out they didn’t, so I did a scramble on Monday and Tuesday to wrap work stuff up for today and tomorrow. I finally got everything…

Hiiiiii hi! Happy Friday! How’s the week going? I feel like this one was an absolute blur. P stayed home from school all week with her ruptured eardrum – she wasn’t feeling great until Wednesday and I kept her home for yesterday’s funeral. It was a beautiful service, but felt very sad and final. It’s…

Oh hello there. I feel like I’m coming out from a cloud of partying and planning all week long! It feels weird to be back in real-life mode. 😉 We celebrated the Pilot’s birthday, went to Trunk or Treat, and the following night was P’s birthday party at Pump It Up with all of her…

Hi friends! Happy Friday! Thank you so much for all of the incredible NYC suggestions. I’m so excited for our trip! It’s been wayyyyyy too long since I’ve visited the Big Apple, which is tragic because I feel like I was supposed to live there. Liv is going to love it. What are you up…

Virtual coffee date
Hi friends! It’s been a while since we’ve had a coffee date, so let’s share one of those amazing looking pastries from the counter and gab for a bit. 🙂 If we were having coffee right now…. I’d probably tell you that I’m still trying to figure out my life. I haven’t been teaching very…

At the patch + HIIT Bootcamp is coming!
Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? Ours was jam-packed with events and was so much fun. The party started on Friday night.
