Hi friends! Happy Friday and happy Wicked day!! Are you going? Did you already go?? The girls and I are going the second they get out of school and I can’t.even.wait. (I’m a little bit more excited than they are, but they’re good sports and they know they get movie lunch and dessert out of the deal.)

In other news, P went back to school today. I’ll share more in an upcoming post (and will probably blab all about it over on Substack in the meantime), but it’s the end of a homeschool era. It was never meant to be a permanent thing unless it needed to be, and she was ready to go back to her friends and teachers. I’m happy for her, cautiously optimistic, and kind of a secret mess emotionally. I know I’ll be crying on and off most of the morning with complex emotions, and will probably cry more at Wicked so there ya go.

For now, 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.

Hi friends! Happy Friday and hi from Manhattan Beach! I’m here for a mastermind event with Jill Coleman aka JillFit (my business coach and mentor for years), some friends and fellow health professionals. It’s been amazing weekend of fun and learning so far. What are you up to this weekend? I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend ahead.

Some pics from this week:

It was my 41st birthday. I had a lovely dinner with Giselle and Amber here in LA, and I’m celebrating with the fam this weekend. While this year definitely had its ups and downs, I’m feeling hopeful and excited for this next year, and filled with gratitude for all of life’s beautiful blessings, including all of you. I never take my *job* for granted and look forward to connecting with all of you every single day.

Fashion + beauty + random:

An amazing weekend with our Kleiger fam! They came into town for Homecoming last weekend since once of their kiddos is considering becoming a wildcat We packed so much into the weekend: tailgating, the football game, Gavi, Betsy and I took a hot yoga class, went shopping, the kids went to the trampoline park, and Mexican food for dinner. The best.

Hi friends! Happy Friday and Happy Halloween! What are your plans tonight? Are you taking the kiddos trick-or-treating or going to any parties? We’re having tacos here at the house with my brother and some friends, trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, and I’m counting down until I can decorate for Christmas.

We carved pumpkins and watched Coco last night:

P’s 10th birthday! This little lady turned 10 this weekend and I can’t even believe. 10 hits hard! It feels like just yesterday that we were taking a hamburger piñata to the Kleigers’ in the middle of the night. (Her birth story part 1 is here and part 2 is here!)

She’s athletic, brilliant, kind, inquisitive, and silly. She asks great (and sometimes challenging!) questions, genuinely wants to help everyone, and is always down for a game of h-o-r-s-e, a family adventure, or a hike. She fills my heart and cracks me up every single day. Happy happy birthday, P Rose.

We celebrated in the morning with a party for

Catching up with my internet besties for a little juice date. 

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a lovely week so far! I’m here back in homeschool and mom mode after my trip, but looking forward to catching a hot yoga class this afternoon.

It’s been a little while since we’ve had a juice date, so I’d love to chat about what’s been going on and see what’s happening in your life! So grab your favorite drink and let’s catch up a bit, shall we??

If we were having juice right now…

I’d want to hear about what you’ve been up to! Is fall crazy for you, too? What are your kids going to be for Halloween? Any fall or holiday travel plans?

I have a trip to LA coming up in a couple of weeks that I’m looking forward to, and other than that, we don’t have any travel scheduled right now. (Side note: we’re hosting a meetup on November 13th so if you’re close to the Manhattan Beach area and would like to join, let me know, and I’ll send ya the details!)

I like to always know when our next trip is happening – it gives me something to look forward to while I’m hustling, which I heard is a trauma response but I’m ignoring that – so I’m crossing my fingers that we can book a Disney cruise or something fun soon-ish. The girls are begging to go to Korea and Japan, so I’m thinking that will be our next big trip, after Liv’s 8th grade graduation. If you have any recs, please let me know!! This is totally new territory for me. (And Liv is a little bit perplexed at the fact that we could have lived in Korea many times for the military, but opted for other PCS top picks instead.)

For Halloween, Liv is a boxer with her friend (cute athletic wear and boxing gloves) and P is one of those inflatable costumes that looks like an alien is caryring you. P turned 10 on Sunday and I can’t even believe it!

I’d want to know what you’ve been reading/watching/enjoying lately. I’m LOVING this season of Dancing with the Stars and The Voice. I watch DWTS with the kids – they like it, too!- and The Voice a couple of times a week while I walk on the walking pad. I’m reading Frozen River right now — it’s intense and I’m enjoying it so far.

I’d want to hear about how you’re doing… like how you’re really doing. No fluff; the real deal. I’d tell you that we’re in an interesting season. We’re still trying to navigate the Pilot’s travel schedule with my work life and homeschooling. I’d also admit that homeschooling is amazing, but it’s not always easy. I had these lovely ideas of all of the field trips we’d take and the crafts we’d do, but the reality is that by the time we finish everything and have lunch, I’m lucky to get one chore done and wrap up a couple of work tasks before we have to pick up Liv and head into the afterschool activities/homework/d

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to? I’m here in Ft. Lauderdale for the Reimagining Health Summit. It’s GORGEOUS here and it’s been so fun to catch up with IHP friends. I’ll be back with a recap next week and I’m taking notes so I can share what I’ve learned. I’d love to hear what you have going on this weekend.

Some pics!
