Happy Friday! I hope you're having a great week with fun plans for the weekend. If you're looking for some workout inspiration, I shared a BOSU ball full body workout earlier in the week. You can totally do the moves without a BOSU ball if you don't have one. Once again I'm stopping by to share some of my favorite things from the week. As always, I'd love to hear what things are making you smile in the comments. Thanks for stopping by. <3

Cucumber with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning

Ever since Matt gifted me a BOSU ball for my birthday I've been loving playing around with it. I should probably be clear that I ask for these gifts, he doesn't just buy me exercise equipment. I think he's always a little concerned people will think he's "that husband" that's purchasing exercise stuff as a suggestion. But if you know me or have been reading this little blog for a while, you know working out makes me super happy. That's why I've created this BOSU ball full body workout to …

Happy Friday! How has your week been going? This week started off pretty rough so the theme of this week's Friday Favorites are self care related. Veterinary medicine days can be amazingly rewarding. Other times we have to do things we really don't want to do. That's why I'm such a huge believer in self care for mental and physical health. Sometimes that's yoga and green smoothies and sometimes that's cake. It's all about balance. As always I'd love to hear what things made you smile this…

Over the weekend I did a poll on Instastories asking if you'd rather see a workout or recipe post on the blog this week. Food was the clear winner. I aim to please, so a new recipe it is! This beet cauliflower hummus recipe makes a pretty big batch, so I've been adding it to all the things. It's packed with good-for-you ingredients including beets. Beets are awesome for athletic performance, so maybe a few servings of this hummus will boost enthusiasm for next week's workout post?!

Happy Friday (the 13th)! Things got hectic the last month, so I took a little break from posting last week. But I'm back! While I haven't had many posts, I do have a lot of recipes, workouts, and travel posts in the works that I'll be sharing soon. In the meantime, I'm stopping by to share some of my favorite things from the past couple weeks. As always, I'd love to hear what things are making you smile in the comments! Thanks for stopping by. <3

Date Nights

Date nights are the abso…

Happy Friday! Wow, this has been a crazy and exhausting week. After work on Monday, I flew to Las Vegas for an amazing continuing education course. It was a great experience, but packed days from 6:30 am-8:30 pm. This was not your typical Vegas trip...I learned a lot, was (mostly) sober, and didn’t lose any money. How boring. :-) If you’re reading this …

Happy Friday! How's your week going? I got a few runs in this week, and that put me in a super good mood. I missed my running shoes! Last weekend was very low key, which was exactly what I needed. I didn't end up tackling my garden, and some of my basil seems to be making a comeback so I left it alone. But I did make it to Costco! FYI: I've started sharing healthy finds from Costco on my Instastories, and I've saved them under highlights as a reference. Once again, I'm sharing some of my…

Happy Friday! How is your week going? August has been BUSY, so I'm pretty excited for a low-key relaxing weekend at home (after I work on Saturday). I'm planning on a Costco trip, planting new basil because all of my thriving basil suddenly crashed and burned, weeding, and organizing our closet. Pretty exciting stuff! Actually, I'm excited for Costco. I'm also going to try to start sharing more things on Instastories, so I'll probably share some of the healthy finds while I browse. If Mat…

Happy Friday! This week flew by thanks to an extended weekend in Maine. That was definitely the highlight of my week and is going to dominate this week's Friday Favorites. This week is a whirlwind, because I'm flying back out tonight for another fun trip to NY to visit with my high school girlfriends. We're scattered all over the place, so it's an incredible treat when we're all able to be together for a weekend. Can't wait!! What things are you loving this week?

Visiting with Family…

Happy Friday! I hope you have had an amazing week. It's August. Woah. Slow down, summer... This week has been pretty good with the anticipation of some fun trips I have planned this month, finally feeling an improvement in my hip thanks to dry needling (see below), and an influx of kittens at work. Kitten season seems to be in full fledge and these cuties are popping up everywhere needing a home. Would you like one?! Once again I'm sharing some of my favorite things from the week. As alw…
