The actual holiday isn’t even here yet and I feel like it’s been an amazing run, especially considering the fact that we lost an entire week due to a late Thanksgiving. It’s also…

Friday Faves
WILDCATS!! As amazing as the game was, the very best was during a media timeout when they surprised a military family with their dad/husband returning from deployment.

Pho-nomenal
After my first at-home chicken pho experience, I’m convinced that it’s kind of like enchiladas: intimidating until you actually do it and realize how easy it is.

Reebok and Les Mills
[This post is part of my partnership with Les Mills and Reebok. Read on for their new collaboration details!] Oh, I love when fitness worlds collide. The teaching community here in Tucson is huge, but at the same time very small, so it’s always fun to play a who-knows-whom game with fellow instructors. Different paths…

His turning point was last year, when we were peeking…
