Something outta nothing + a new arm burner
After a weird couple of days -sorry again for the server issues!- we’re back to blogging action 🙂 It was so strange to not be able to post, but I am so thankful to Cody and Ryan for their hard work to get the blog going again. Every post for the rest of the summer:…

Focus On: Aqua Zumba
Hi friends! Thank you for your patience while we switched hosts and servers with the blog. It ended up being kind of a mess -hiccups tend to happen with this sort of thing- but my amazing web wizard was hard at work fixing everything as it occurred. The new server should prevent any future downtime.…

Faileo Oats
I love creating healthy versions of classic faves. Not necessarily because everything has to be healthy -there’s a time and place for everything, and when it’s time for real chocolate chip cookies the place is in my face- but because it’s fun to experiment in the kitchen. One of my all-time faves is sweet potato pasta;…

Tips for a first group fitness workshop
One of my favorite parts about being a group fitness instructor is the ability to attend workshops for continuing education credits. One of main requirements to remain certified is to attend workshops or lectures that count for a specific amount of points throughout the two-year span. While it can be kind of a pain to…

Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there: grandfathers, stepdads, fur dads, the men who protect and care for others, and to this guy 😉 The Pilot instantly switched to “dad mode” the second Oliv was here. Calmly and efficiently, he changed diapers, burped her, and swaddled like a pro, like he’d done…

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…

2,4,6,8,10 workout {video}
A while ago, I posted a 2,4,6,8,10 workout, which so many of you did along with me. I love playing fitness games (it’s more of a love/hate thing); they make the workouts simultaneously harder and more exciting. I feel like if you’re playing mind tricks along the way, it’s over before you know it! A…

Avoiding the car nap
I’m going to totally jinx myself for writing this, but Liv has been a great sleeper ever since we initially implemented The Baby Whisperer techniques. As soon as we brought her home from the hospital, we tried to get her into an eat, play, sleep routine and it helped her create a more predictable schedule. As…

Workout classes you liked or loathed
A house full of chocolate…. and veggies. Not a bad mix 😉 When the Pilot makes it home for dinner, I loooooove it when he grills our meal. He can make pretty much anything (burgers, chicken, pizza, quiche), but my absolute favorite is the chicken. Something about grilling in the summer makes the food taste…

“Before 30” bucket list
Hi friends <3 Thank you so much for your amazing response to this morning’s post. It’s way too easy to get into the comparison trap game and at the end of the day, how fast we run, how much we lift, how well we Zumba… it doesn’t really matter. I’m loving all of your amazing…
