Livi-isms

ย  โ€œPatience means waiting without crying.โ€ We were waiting in line, and Livi started to fuss a bit (saying she wanted to leave and pulling on my hand). I asked her to please be patient, and she said, โ€œOk. Patience means waiting without crying.โ€ (I later find out that Tom has been telling her this…

Reading, wearing, watching, listening, eating

Hi guys! Howโ€™s the morning going? Blogging a little later today than usual. After double-dip teaching last night + a fun training session, I was toast and decided to sleep in a little. We are also experiencing some bedtime battles, and Iโ€™m hoping it doesnโ€™t last too long! Since Iโ€™m nosy and love reading posts…

January 2015 Cardio Playlist (+ Musical Cardio workout)

Hi! Howโ€™s the day going so far? I taught a fun BODYPUMP class and took Liv to her gymnastics class, which is basically the cutest thing Iโ€™ve ever seen in my life. The Pilot and I are into our little detox, and while the day has been relatively normal for me, itโ€™s also my โ€œchocolate…

Around the weekend

Hi guys! How was your weekend? Hope you had a great one!  Usually after a roadtrip, we would come back and straight-up chill the days following. For some reason, we felt super productive this weekend and got quite a bit done around the house. We emptied out and organized the pantries, grocery shopped and meal…

Happy Friday from the happiest place on earth! Thank you for all of Liviโ€™s wonderful birthday wishes. I read many of them to her during the drive here, and she had a huge smile on her face.

Happy 3rd birthday to you

They say the days are long and the years are short, and man, I totally believe it. I remember holding her when she was a tiny newborn, and it was hard for me to imagine her as a toddler: walking, talking, dancingโ€ฆ and not crying all the time. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Well, I blinked, and here we…

Savory Goat Cheese Veggie Dip

Hi! Howโ€™s the afternoon going? Itโ€™s been a great day with my little sidekick. ๐Ÿ™‚ This morning involved playing birthday fairy, which involved a solo trip to the mall. It was luxurious to smell candles with both hands, and I loved picking up a couple of birthday surprises for the little lady. (PS all she…

Focus On: Barry’s Bootcamp

After all of this time, I finally took a Barryโ€™s Bootcamp class. Iโ€™m not sure what Iโ€™ve been waiting for, as itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve been wanting to try for years. I was really excited when we found out there was one in San Diego, but Iโ€™ve been so happy in my Orangetheory bubble that I…

Crispy Chocolate Coconut Protein Bars

This is just ridiculous. Before we talk protein bars, letโ€™s talk about The Bachelor. DID YOU WATCH IT?! Are they really trying for ratings this season or what? The tupperware joke. Iโ€™m still cringing bahaha. I loved that they saved the normal people for the last round, for the most part. Good TV. So, yesterday…
