10/4: Friday Faves {sneak giveaway}

-My two favorite people in the world, relaxing on the hammock together.

Hammock

Livi now asks me to please braid her hair most mornings. She’ll tell me if she wants a braid, Dorothy braids or a bun. I tell ya.

Braids

-Salmon tacos. We had taco night this week, and this 15-minute meal was blackened salmon with lettuce, avocado and a cumin-lime yogurt sauce on corn tortillas. I heated up some black beans to go with it and boom! Dinner was served. 

Salmon tacos  1 of 1

Dessert: BTO

 

Bto froyo

(Nutella and Reese’s flavor with Reese’s, hot peanut butter and chocolate chips…)

-A new kombucha scoby! The “mother” scoby is usually only good for about 3 batches, and none of my baby scobies were strong enough, so it was time to replenish the stash. I have a giant batch of kombucha fermenting away in the pantry and am so excited to play with some holiday-esque flavors 😉

New scoby

These two posts about the reality of postpartum recovery. Wish I could have read these about two years ago 😉

This article about knocking doors down and never giving up on your goals. Check it out if you’ve been needed a little motivation boost!

-Physique 57’s new website and an all-new cardio sculpt option for their online classes. I haven’t been able to do P57 at home with half marathon training, but I’m so excited to check out their new workouts when the half is over. If you check out the new ones, let me know how they are!

-Fall decor. As soon as this post publishes, I’m heading out to the garage to bring in all of the Halloween decorations. Scary excited 😉

-Another giveaway! There are THREE going on right now– be sure to enter if you haven’t already. You could win a 16GB tablet, a gorgeous cookbook + set of measuring spoons, or these awesome sneaks.

Crossfit speed  1 of 1 2

I asked Reebok if they’d be willing to give away a pair of the new CrossFit Nano Speed shoes since I love them so much. A lucky reader will win a pair of the new Nanos in size/color of their choice (based on product availability). All you have to do: leave a comment with a fitness plan you have for the weekend! 

Me? It’s another 10-miler on the books for tomorrow. 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend <3

See ya later on the Fashion page!

  18. Mindy on October 4, 2013 at 7:26 pm

    Weekend yoga/walk with friends is in the books!

  19. Danielle Volandt on October 4, 2013 at 7:26 pm

    I make tons of lists written and on my phone, I keep my calendar synced with my phone, and I always aim to be there 15 minutes earlier than I need to be. I think of the time I “have to leave by” as the time that gets me where I need to be at 15 minutes prior to the time I actually have to be there, so if there’s unexpected traffic it’s not a big deal. When I start thinking “well, I really could leave five minutes later…” it gets me into trouble!

  20. Mackenzie on October 4, 2013 at 7:27 pm

    I have a 10 miler on the books as well, hopefully the weather cooperates

  21. Kimberly on October 4, 2013 at 7:27 pm

    I’m planning two trips to the gym on Saturday and Sunday mornings. A little boring, I know, but I actually LOVE going to the gym on the weekends and not feeling rushed at all to finish my workouts.

  22. SandyN on October 4, 2013 at 7:27 pm

    Walking and weights for me this weekend.

    Does a visit to Disneyland count as a fitness plan it’s all day walking. We have a yearly pass and are planing on taking our two yr old to see the holiday decor, ride some rides and see some shows. Sunday we have a bike ride / picnic planned with some friends. So it’s going to be one busy weekend.
