While I always enjoy the seasonal delights, time spent with family and friends, and of course, the fantastic holiday feasts,…

Holiday HIIT Workout

With all of the holiday gatherings, traveling and extra to-dos right around the corner, time to workout can be a little more scarce than usual. One of the things to remember is to focus on the quality of your training, not the length. That’s why I created this holiday HIIT workout for you. It’s short,…

Spirit of flubs

Oh friends. In the spirit of starting off the day talking about flubs, the pattern just continued from there. I dropped a glass plate while Liv was napping -which, shockingly didn’t shatter but managed to clank and bounce all over the kitchen floor before my butterfingers could grab it- and then later this morning, we…

Avoiding the tantrum land

Confession: I have a touch of the hoarding disease when it comes to memory cards. If I have a picture of Liv or someone else in the family, I refuse to delete it in case something happens with my computer. Same goes for my phone. This leads to the fact that in order to take…

Fitness Instructor Flubs

Hi friends! Thank you so much for the fantastic Camelbak cleaning ideas. I rinsed it with a little vinegar and water, whipped the tube around in a circle to get the water out and it’s hanging to dry. It’s hoping it stays funk-free. I’m also happy to hear you liked the recipe round-up! As much…

Monday Rundays

I was so excited to write this post saying that I conquered my 10-miler this morning. Alas, was not the case.ย  (I’m pretty convinced that 10 miles = my distance nemesis) I didn’t get home too late last night -had a blast with the girls, though- and was going to wake up super early to…

11/18: Video of the day

It was a perfectly lazy and lovely Sunday. We walked at Sabino Canyon while the Pilot and my stepdad ran, enjoyed time hanging out at the house and fought the urge to put up Christmas decorations, even though they’re beckoning to me. The highlight of the night was teaching at a Zumbathon to raise funds…
