Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? We’re headed to San Diego and I.can’t.wait. We’re definitely ready for some fun time with our Kleiger fam and Vitamin Sea. Also ready for some cool weather and escaping the Tucson scorching oven.

I hope you have a relaxing and lovely weekend ahead!

Labor Day weekend is here and sooooo many good sales:

HigherDOSE! You can get 20% off sitewide (minut the full-sized saunas and bundles) and they’re one of my all-time favorite brands for biohacking staples.

Here are some of the things I love and use on a weekly basis:

– The PEMF Go Mat. I use this daily for meditation and it helps me feel peaceful, centered, and grounded. It’s perfect for meditation or for a 15-day recharge on a long work day.

– The sauna blanket. I get in and sweat like a happy lil Chipotle burrito. I haven’t used it as much lately because it’s been SO hot here, but this is used at least a few times a week during the fall and winter.

– Red light face mask. My latest habit stack is walking on the walking pad with my red light face mask. It makes a huge difference with my skin!

– Red light hat. It looks super cute and can help with hair growth.

– The NEW red light full body mat. You can use it like a blanket or attach it to your wall like a giant red light panel.

If you’re looking for a portable red light option, Lumebox is having an ENORMOUS sale. I packed up my Lumebox to bring to San Diego! It’s very well-constructed, low EMF (super important!) and you can use near infrared or regular red mode. I love this for skin, mood, inflammation, recovery, healing, aches, and pains. Check it out here and no code is needed

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re headed to Top Golf with friends, I’m taking the kids to K Pop Demon Hunters sing-a-long, we have an NCL meeting, and a Gaslight show. We definitely packed a lot of fun things into the weekend!

( Mazer getting a little grounding and sunlight. Whenever I get out the Lumebox, she runs over to sit next to me – she loves it. )

A little treat: the Pilot was able to come home in between trips this week. It was such an awesome surprise. His work schedule has been pretty manageable but this past week was a bit of a long one. We were all so happy when he got an unexpected break in the middle.

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.

Tuckernuck is having a HUGE sale. I want pretty much everything from their site but I especially love their dresses. This is my favorite shirtdress and it’s only $29 right now.

I’ve been checking this site every day for an Olive Rose #7 restock.

Read, watch, listen:

Definitely check out this week’s Q&A podcast episode here.

We saw Josh Turner last weekend in Phoenix and it was everything. We danced to this song at our wedding

Sharing a currently-type post and what we’ve been up to lately.

Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? I hope you had a great one! We went up to Phoenix for the Josh Turner concert and it was everything. He sounds SO good live and the band was incredible. The rest of the weekend was pretty chill. We had an NCL meeting, family dinner at madre’s house, and I got some work stuff done.

For today’s post, I thought it would be fun to do an old-school “currently” style blog post, focused on some of the things we’ve been up to lately. If you’d like to play along in the comments section, I’d love to hear what you’ve had going on lately, too!

Currently:

Celebrating…

Anniversary #18! For next year’s anniversary we should do something huge… like move to Spain?! Just halfway joking…

18 years was a second and a lifetime (multiple lifetimes). Beyond thankful for the little life and family we share, all of the adventures, celebrating the highs, holding each other through the lows, and choosing each other, every day <3

Wearing…

Dresses and Flabelus flats:

(my got-to everyday combo)

And Sambas! I didn’t really get into the trend even though I always thought they were cute, and that’s because someone told me they were super uncomfortable and they returned them. Finally I couldn’t handle it anymore, and I got a pair “for me” but they were really for Liv. (Something kind of funny/interesting: I can rarely get the kids to buy anything or go shopping with me. When I was a teen, I was the OPPOSITE and wanted to buy everything! Now, if I want to get something for Liv, I buy it for myself, she asks to borrow it, and then I usually never see it again.)

They weren’t uncomfortable at all, but felt even better after being broken in for a couple of weeks. Now I have my eye on these ones!

Watching….

NOTHING. I’m over here anxiously waiting for Emily in Paris to come back so I can binge the entire thing. I haven’t really found anything I’ve been excited about since I finished Younger and rarely watch TV. If you’ve watched anything lately you’ve loved, please lmk.

I have a bit more time now when the Pilot is traveling and the gir

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re headed to Phoenix for a concert, P has a b-ball scrimmage, we have NCL meetings, and our weekly dinner with the fam – I look forward to it all week. I’d love to hear what you have going on!

(Monsoon season has been a BUST but at least we’ve had some gorgeous rainbows)

We’re still trying to find our school/homeschool/airline/work groove around here, and our daily schedules have changed a ton since last year. Liv has done competitive dance for many years and it’s her first year taking a break. She’s going to play some school sports instead, and I’m excited for her to find something new that she enjoys. I definitely miss the dance world but I don’t miss driving two hours each night between drop-offs and pick-ups at the studio. She’s had more time to work on homework and chill at night, and I’ve been able to cook pretty much every night.

(gluten-free chicken pot pie with roasted broccoli. I’ll do a roundup soon with new recipes I’ve tried that have been successful)

I prefer to cook at home because you can control the ingredients and sometimes I’m disappointed by the taste, quality, and cost of restaurant food. If I didn’t prep and plan in advance, we’d often grab quick takeout on the way home from the dance and basketball shuffle. We were spending soooo much, many times it was meh or gross, and I definitely feel like eating at home has been easier with this schedule.

Some exciting things coming up on the horizon:

– Not one but TWO huge launches on Monday. Two of my all-time favorite brands are launching amaaaaazing things and of course, I’ll spread the word here Monday morning!

– A trip to San Diego. Counting down for time with our Kleiger fam and some Vitamin Sea

– P starting farm school. It’s one day each week and she gets to ride hoses, help with the animals, and do art on the farm with some other homeschool kids and she’s super excited about it. More of our homeschool plans are here.

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week?

I’m sorry for disappearing on ya this week. I honestly just needed a second to breathe. The Pilot was gone – he’s back today! – and I was getting the girls ready for back to school, but also… I was just having a mini blog crisis. I’ve had one before, and just had one of those weeks where I was just in a little bit of a funk. I’m back now and missed you all <3

We’re trying to find our groove around here with airline life, but it’s definitely been more chill than military and commander life. I waited SO long for this time to actually be here and am so so glad it is. Just trying to establish our new routine. P is starting homeschool again on Monday (here we go!) and I’ll share what we have planned – lots of fun stuff ahead.

(JELL-O arms from this week’s Pilates class. We wore arm weights the entire time and it was fierryyyyy.)

Meal prep has saved me during these solo parenting weeks, even though we ate all of the fruit within 3 days.

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.
