A little more polished than the post-Zumba messy bun Iโ€™ve got going on today ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thank…

10 ways to plank

Planks are one of my all-time favorite core exercises. Source (It looks like Vies!) As Iโ€™ve mentioned before, one of the tricks Iโ€™ve learned is that the maximum amount of time you should hold a plank is 10 seconds, because after that you start to engage and depend on other muscles to keep you up…

Flowers and solids {video}

(Saw this on Facebook- if you have the accurate source, please let me know!) Not our house this morning. Most mornings are pretty amazing. Liv will wake up anywhere between 5-6, Iโ€™ll feed her in our bed, put her back in her crib and weโ€™ll both go back to sleep for a little while (until…

Next wrap step

Since Livi was born, I have loved being able to wear her in the Moby and Baby Kโ€™tan. In the beginning, thatโ€™s the only place she would nap, and I loved feeling her soft baby snores on my chest. (she was only 3 weeks old in that picture!) There are so many benefits of babywearing:…

A little too lifelike

Look who scared the life out of me: At work, theyโ€™re always adding new decor, and that statue is newest addition around the corner by the water fountain. I thought it was a real, nekkid man and it frightened me a little. World beat was a lot of fun this morning. The drummers and my…
