4.25 Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? The Pilot is back tonight – he’s been gone a ton for airline training – so I’m looking forward to going somewhere alone lol. I can’t wait to take a hot yoga and a barre class this weekend 🙂 We’re also meeting up with friends at the pool, P has a bday party, and getting ready for Liv’s next dance competition. I’d love to hear what you have going on.

Our Spring Forward challenge started on Monday, but it’s not too late to join in the fun!!. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s check-ins this week. Get your plans here – it’s totally free and everything is delivered to your inbox.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

4.24 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

Wrapped up week 3 of homeschooling. We did the usual subjects and for science, P worked on constructing a roller coaster.

This is so random, but my neck and traps have been sooooo tight, and I ordered this. I can’t wiat for it to arrive this afternoon. It looks like pure bliss.

We took Maisey with us to meet friends at their campsite for dinner last weekend in Mt. Lemmon, and she LOVED it. I had no clue how she’s do in the wild. Would she run off and disappear forever? She was so good. She played with the other dogs, stayed closeby, and then as we sat around the bonfire, we took turns holding her like a giant baby while she snoozed. We’re definitely doing the full camping experience next time.

Easter recap. Easter was different this year but still lovely.

The girls’ baskets:

(They both got swimsuits, slides, and candy. P got goggles, a book, Fortnite gift card, and NBA trading cards, while Liv had a bluetooth speaker, Makeup erasers, beauty blender, and a Sephora gift card)

The Pilot was only home for breakfast, so we had gluten-free cinnamon rolls, eggs, coffee, and fruit,

and watched the livestream of Mass at home. We met up with some friends to see King of Kings, then had dinner with the fam to celebrate Trevor’s birthday!

How cute is our lil niece?! I can’t even.

New Oliveda workbook! One of our uplines created this workbook, and it’s filled with sales strategies, info about the products and company, and tips for building your business. If you love the products, join us! It’s only $50 for the entire year, there are no sales requirements, we get a sweet 25% discount, and the community is amazing. I just ordered some more of my favorite moiturizer and shower gel.

Easter dress was from Rent the Runway. I use this (and loooove it) every month. My referral link will let you try it free for one month! This is perfect for spring/summer travel and events.

Read, watch, listen:

This book is breaking my heart but I’m blasting through it. It’s beautifully written, captivating, but as expected, totally heartwrenching. I’ve stayed up late too many nights reading this one.

What not-flashy things do you love?

Permission to rest.

I always love having something to look forward to, and this is it right now. It probably won’t be on Broadway until next year, but I’ll be READY.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

15-minute HIIT blitz.

10 healthy gluten-free desserts.

Sheet pan salmon with dill potatoes.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!

Friday Faves 4.11

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? We have an NCL event, two birthday parties, and are meeting up with friends at the pool for dinner. I’ve also been slacking with my IHP 3 studies, so I’m planning on doing some major catch-up.

(nothing like a decaf Americano and a gluten-free donut)

It’s already in the 90s here but I’m kinda loving it. SO ready for summer. I hope that you have a fun weekend ahead!

Last week was our Carmina Burana performance and it was epic. (Check out the article here and a little clip from our chorus practice.) It was such a gift to be surrounded by so many talented musicians and the venue was FULL; almost completely sold out for Sunday’s show. The Pilot brought the kids on Friday and Madre and Nani came to the show on Sunday. Liv also had a dance competition at the same venue, so I was Mrs. Doubtfire-ing it between sympony performances and dance mom life.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

4.4 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

This week was our first official week of homeschooling P. (Liv is happy and thriving at the school she tranferred to in January.) I’m working on a blog post with all of the details – it will be up on Tuesday – but it’s going even better than I was expecting. We’re able to spend some quality time together, learn, and also have freedom to adjust the plan as needed. I never intended on being a homeschool mom, but am loving it so far.

Every day we work on reading, writing, math, and take Maisey for a walk. We add in science experiments, baking, art, Spanish, and social studies/geography throughout the week. I’m definitely flying by the seat of my pants, but am so greatful to fellow homeschool moms who have swooped in to help me with advice and curriculum ideas!

Dying over this new collection.

Read, watch, listen:

Finally updated the podcast here!

This is so random but I love this YouTube channel.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

Our free Spring Forward wellness challenge starts on April 21! Meet me here Monday for all of the details + how to sign up.

Making this blueberry crisp asap.

Sweet potato soup with roasted cauliflower crumbles.

We’re all obsessed with Spanish tortillas right now (and they’ve been an awesome Friday dinner for Lent). Here’s the recipe.

Everyone’s buying cars and electronics with the whole tariff situation and I’m here buying olive oil. #priorities

Just wanted to share this client win for the week! This client was at a weight loss plateau and was struggling with inflammation, joint pain, and dry eyes. We’ve been playing the long game, starting with functional testing to determine imbalances, rebalancing her body, working on nervous system regulation, and repairing her metabolism with reverse dieting.

She earned her way to a cut, and now is eating the same amount of calories she was when we started working together, losing weight, inches, improving her body composition, stronger with her workouts, and the eye issues and joint pain are nonexistant. She is absolutely crushing it and it’s been amazing to see her progress.

If you’re ready for a personalized game plan, book your free 15-minute strategy call here.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!
