Friday Faves
TGIFF. (<– yes, there is an extra “F” there.)
So excited for the weekend! When Livi wakes up, it will determine how the rest of the day will go. She’ll either wake up feeling much better (fingers crossed), or same/worse which means a visit to the ped is in order. I really hope the she wakes up feeling better and happy. It breaks my heart to see her miserable, and we all have a little bit of cabin fever.
Tonight we’re supposed to have dinner at my dad’s house, tomorrow will be my first run back in the game -my legs were a liiitle sore after last weekend- and Sunday, the girls are headed to Phoenix for my cousin’s baby shower. Then, the avalanche of traveling and moving stuff begins! Lots of stuff to look forward to.
Some faves from the week:
-Tulips. I love the lilies and tulips that are in season this time of year. They’re also super inexpensive at TJs, so I’ll pick up a few bunches to have throughout the house.
-A surprise package from Moving Comfort. They sent me these printed crops,
a hot yoga tank, new sports bra and my favorite hoodie (in a gorgeous pink color) to try out. Love!
-Pure talent: this girl speaks gibberish but uses authentic accents to demonstrate how foreign languages sound to outsiders.
-My Travolta-fied name is Georgia Harvey.
-These veggie burgers! All veggie and brown rice flour. I left two in the fridge and froze the rest to reheat for quick lunches. They’re awesome on hamburger burns, or crumbled onto salads with avocado, chopped veggies and salsa.
–“Let it Go” on the Jimmy Fallon show. <– my favorite live version so far!
–Whitney’s Soli Beat review! <3
–Caitlin’s fantastic post about returning “to normal” after childbirth. I totally agree that it took me about a year to fully feel like myself again.

Have a very happy Friday <3

Where did you find those veggie burgers? I’m always looking for GOOD, clean veggie burgers. ๐

Those veggie burgers look amazing (especially for my soy, dairy, and bean-free self)! Where did you find them?
costco! they come in a 12 pack ๐
Thanks! Trying not to drop everything and drive there now… ๐
:)! let me know how you like them!
Yay for your upcoming move! Feels like spring here in SD (although let’s be real, I’m not sure “spring” ever left). ๐
the weather there is always amazing! ๐
TGI- extra F – F is right!!! Great post, hope the little gal is back to herself today.
Beautiful tulips.
<3 we went to the ped (she has an ear infection, poor girl) but is on the upswing!
have a great weekend <3
Loe the new workoutgear!!!
Favorite eat: piece of godiva chocolate. My dad surprised me with a little treat yesterday and it totally made my week.
your comment inspired me to pick up some chocolate ๐ we were out for a couple of days, and it was tragic
haha, glad to help encourage a healthy addiction ๐
I agreeโฆ.TGIFF!!
I looooved “Let it Go” on Fallon! He’s doing a great job as host on the Tonight Show.
I always pick up flowers at TJs too. Great flowers at a great price.
I’m going to look for those veggie burgers at my Costco. They sound yummy.
Lastly, I sure hope Liv is better!!!!
i totally agree. i LOVE jimmy fallon. this is one of my all time favorites: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/7aedcf8556/jimmy-fallon-live-troll-doll-jingles-part-1-of-2-from-jimmy-fallon
thank you! hope you have a great weekend <3
Hahahaha! Thanks for sharing that!! Love it ๐
I hope she feels better as well! My favorites from the week include a great score on water bottles from Target and also getting some flowers from Tj’s for the house!
water bottles! what kind did you get? we just left target ๐
Halogen! They are 1 litter and I got two for 4 bucks a piece! ๐
DUDE. i’ll check it out next time we go!
Those veggie burgers look delicious! I need to go grocery shopping so bad! Have a great weekend – hope Livi feels better!
thank you, hope you have a great weekend too!
Those veggie burgers look awesome! Very hard to find good ones. Love the new clothes from Moving Comfort!
thank you! they’re amazing! i was going to try and replicate them at home, but the ingredients are so clean and they’re inexpensive, so i probably won’t haha ๐
I love your blog, especially how you respond to so many of the comments left after each posting. It is great and why I love reading your blog more than any other ones, you connect with each reader and makes each post extra special.
Have agreat weekend and hope the little one is feeling better :):)
it makes me so happy when people notice haha ๐ that’s the best part about a blog– connecting with others! thank you so much for reading.
hope you have a wonderful weekend <3

All of those Moving Comfort pieces look awesome — I especially love the color of the hoodie! And I agree — that version of ‘Let It Go’ is amazing!
Happy Friday ๐
soooooo good ๐
have a happy weekend!
I hope Livi is feeling much better! I got a bouquet for my birthday that had tulips in it and was so excited! They’re just a happy flower ๐ lol
i totally agree! very cheerful. hope you have (or had?) a very happy birthday!
What a cute hoodie!
thank you! such a fun color
I love veggie burgers on salads, but it’s so hard to find any without soy!– I want to try those out now!
that hot yoga tank! LOVE it. I’m going to try my first hot yoga class pretty soon. I’m pumped!
ohhhh have fun! make sure to hydrate well the day before <3
Those veggie burgers look SO yummy! I love how they package them almost like the real meat burgers, that is really clever!
I love the Travolta-fy thing!! Mine is Elijah Phlilips. Apparently I change gender when John Travolta says my name!
ohhhhhh i hope our little love felt better today <3
I love goodies in the mail! When I went back to the states every store was having a huge sale so it was nice to stock up on all my gym goodies! Have an incredible weekend Lots of Love C
Hope Livi feels better but I secretly enjoy (a little) when my little man gets a little sick. Normally he is like the Tasmanian devil 24/7 so I will take my snuggles anyway I can get them.
Also loved the blog about how long it takes to feel normal post partum. Where was this 3 years ago because I felt like there was something wrong with me when at a couple months I wasn’t feeling normal. I still don’t know if I feel like my old normal but am now enjoying my new normal. It’s a huge adjustment, hubs and I had been together for 15 yrs before we had Cole, so it was so strange going from two to three. I think this should be talked about more because the average of 4-6 weeks off work is way to little, thankfully I was able to quit working for awhile and have started a home business but I think I would have had a meltdown if I would have had to go back to working 60-70 hrs a week right after childbirth.
Those veggie burgers look like a must try! Some of my favs from this week:

Have a good weekend Gina ๐
Thanks for sharing the review!!! xoxo
Btw, love your new workout clothes. Those capris are hottt!
Those workout clothes are so gorgeous!
I love that Moving Comfort tank! So cute! Those veggie patties look really good. It’s hard to find veggie patties that are gluten free!
I also really enjoyed Caitlin’s post! Her keeping-it-real posts are some of my favorite. I’m not a mom yet, but it’s good to know these things ahead of time!
