Hi friends! Happy Saturday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re spending time with some of our favorite friends: dinner and Botanical gardens, stocking stuffer event, Waitress the Musical, and then pasta making and dinner. I’d love to hear what you’re up to!

Some random pics from the week:

Before we get into Friday Faves, a couple of quick notes:

THANK YOU x1000000 to those of you who have filled out my annual survey. Your feedback is invaluable to me and it’s made me so excited to start working on 2024 content.

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you’ve had a great one. Ours went by quickly — part of it was spent in Arkansas and then we flew back home to Tucson.

We had a wonderful time with family and enjoyed so many fun adventures.

Some highlights:

the alligator farm was a HUGE hit

a beautiful hike,

strolling around and shopping in Hot Springs,

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope you’ve enjoyed the week. I feel like it was our first *real* week back in the world. I started to ease my way back into workouts, the girls were back at school, and we got to celebrate my birthday with the fam.

I just wanted to get together for brunch, so we had a lovely brunch at First Watch with our small party of 15 🙂

We had the BEST gluten-free funfetti cake from Lovin’ Spoonfuls with buttercream frosting:

(fun inside scoop: I went to high school with their pastry chef and we order the cake from her every year. I also look forward to it all year! My favorite cake in the world.)

And the rest of the day was perfect and low-key. I read a book, we had a Pilot-cooked dinner here at home, and watched Home Alone. The rest of the week has flown by in a blur and I’m looking forward to the weekend!

Liv has a birthday party and one of her friends is sleeping over, I’m getting a much-needed mani pedi, we’re going out to dinner, and decorating for Christmas. Since we’re traveling next week, my favorite grinch gave the green light to decorate early. Usually he’s the captain of team “Honor the Bird” but he’s making an exception this year.

Flashback to our enormous tree! Frida is too big to move her now. 😉

Hi friends! Happy Friday! The weekend is heeeeere. What do you have going on? The girls have birthday parties, and Sunday is my bday.

To be totally honest, I always get a little bit of the birthday blahs. I feel like another year is a reminder of all of the things I haven’t yet accomplished, and I’ve never been super into the birthday pomp and circumstance. This is why I usually like to go camping, but I canceled our Sedona trip since we’re all recovering from the flu.

I didn’t have the mojo to get us packed and ready to go. So instead, we’re doing brunch with the family, and taking it easy.

I wanted to do a little something special here to celebrate the ol’ 3-9, so from now until Monday at midnight, you can get 6 months of Fit Team for $197. (Note: this is a membership and can be canceled at any time.)

ALL of your fitness programming, done for you, plus bonuses to make meal planning easy, recipes, playlists, and community support, all for less than $33 per month.

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. Please shout out anything you’re loving in the comments section below.

My friend Brittany recommended this book on IG, so

Hi hi! Happy Friday and Happy Halloweekend! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing week.

We’ve been in full-fledged birthday celebration mode.

It was the Pilot’s birthday dinner on Sunday,

(we had an amazing family dinner at Three Canyon)

his actual birthday on Tuesday,

(we had a lovely brunch and spent the day together)

and P’s birthday was yesterday. I can’t believe she’s 8!! HOW?!

Every year, I get so emotional on the kids’ birthdays. I absolutely love seeing them grow and feel like I enjoy them more and more each year, but at the same time, it really happens too darn fast. It feels like just yesterday we were dropping Liv off at Betsy’s house with  hamburger piñata and heading out for P to be born. It also makes me laugh that the first hour of contractions, I was feeling smug and like it was going to be easy, and then I was begging for an epidural to help me birth my 10 lb 13 oz baby.

She cracks me up, gives the biggest hugs, and is always keeping us on our toes. She lights up our house with joy every single day.

We’re celebrating P’s birthday with friends this weekend, and also have a Trunk or Treat, a Halloween party, and new Fit Team workouts drop on Saturday. Here we go!

Some exciting news: I’m running a promo from now until Halloween on some of my bestselling fitness programs! I wanted to give you an amazing discount to celebrate the fall season, and this way, you’ll be all set for holiday travel and at-home workouts. All
