I LOVED taking Tony Horton’s classes this past weekend at IDEA. Not only is he full of awesome tricks and valuable info -I used a couple of his moves in my Tabata class this morning- but he’s also a jokester. He called us baby pterodactyls at one point, and even though we were all in…

8/9: Friday Faves

-Livi’s first french braid. If someone could just stop the clock, that would be nice. I braided it pretty quickly, but she sat super still and was so patient. I love that it can keep her bangs out of her face, but she looks so grown up with a braid! And speaking of her getting…
