NEW Bellydance Cardio Dance + Friday Faves
Thank goodness it’s Friday, huh? Even though it was kind of a stressful week with all of the blog crashes and server issues – so thankful I had Cody and Ryan to help a girl out!- a lot of good things happened, too. We had our usual Wednesday night yoga party, wonderful family dinners and…

Focus On: Aqua Zumba
Hi friends! Thank you for your patience while we switched hosts and servers with the blog.

Currently
Let’s see, what’s been going on since I last saw your lovely faces? I worked yesterday, and when I got home, we made a fort with our comforter and watched Elmo with Liv inside our makeshift tent. The Pilot put Livi to bed and I joined some friends for a hot yoga class. There were…

Kale and artichoke dip
Something about summer brings out my bookworm pants (shorts). Over the winter holiday frenzy I have to really make time to read, and over the summer, I find myself quickly blitzing from one book to the next. It was the same way when I was a kid: I read all summer. I think I just…
