What would you ask Tony Horton?

Hi guys! How’s your day going? I’m so happy you liked the barre burner! I’m SUPER STOKED because I found out a method to upload videos faster to YouTube, so I can post workouts more often. My last barre burner took about 3 days to upload (and multiple tries!!!) and this one: 40 minutes. I…

IDEA World Conference 2013: the expo and other fun stuff

Since I’ve already re-capped the sessions and “meat” of the IDEA conference, how about the rest of the fun stuff? (with Monica, Cassey and Julie) Namely, the Expo and hanging out with some awesome ladies 🙂 (from Reebok’s twitter!) I’m not sure I’d recommend IDEA for a first conference because basically anything after that is…

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…

Chicken Tortilla Soup for the Soul

Little lovebug woke up coughing yesterday. Thankfully, as of now, it sounds fairly superficial -like a little summer cold/ick- but I’ve been trying to think of ways to soothe her throat and stop the coughing. She had some warm mint tea in her sippy cup yesterday morning (loved it!), and for dinner, it was chicken…

7/12: Friday faves

-Goat’s milk Greek yogurt! So delicious and an awesome amount of protein. Lately, I’ve been enjoying it with fresh berries, almonds, a drizzle of local honey + lots of cinnamon. -Handmade dresses. Remember my airy fairy yoga friend? She made this dress! She brought in some of her pieces to work, all dyed and sewn…
