5/17: Friday Faves
-Feeding the ducks with Oliv I Googled “best foods to feed ducks” and frozen peas were on the list. Turns out that turtles love them, too! As soon as we’d throw them in the water, we’d see the little turtle heads pop out and anxiously swim in our direction. Noodle also decided this week that…

Thank you to all of our new subscribers — I’m excited to see the channel grow and post more videos. My legs are STILL sore from Saturday night’s dance party……

Thin Mint Protein Fudge
As memorable and fun as everything has been, it feels good to get back in the swing of things this week. I’m back home in jammies with Liv (she’s napping away right now), we all slept in a little bit, and I’m planning for the week. When I asked for Kyle’s wedding off from work…

Fiery Zucchini Chips
I like to think I’m making up for lost sriracha time. Even with my intense love for all things spicy, I didn’t try sriracha for the first time until last year. One of my college roommates had a bottle of it in the fridge, and it always intrigued me, but she usually ate it on…

5/5: Meals and Fitness for the week
Is it sad that part of my weekend excitement involved a first-time use of a neti pot-type apparatus? My allergies have been driving me insane for about 4 days now, and after tweeting to ask for advice, the neti pot was (as always) a popular suggestion. My mom always tells me to use one…

Focus On: Barre Workouts

So fresh and green
There’s something so exciting about using herbs from your own garden for dinner. It also makes me feel very Ina Garten, which few things have the ability to do. Source Anyway, not only do fresh herbs add an awesome boost of flavor, homegrown herbs even more aromatic than storebought. It made me so excited to…

DIY Bath Bombs
Two things officially turned me into a bath person: our tub, which is much larger than any we’ve had in the past and LUSH bath bombs. It’s a huge deal, as I’ve always preferred showers, but there’s something seriously awesome about sitting in a super hot bathtub with your hair in a messy bun, a…
