Hi friends! Happy Friday!  I’m so ready for the weekend!  I feel like it’s been such a busy two weeks, but also really fun.  I’ve so enjoyed pouring over all the Nordstrom Sale goodies, getting together with Ali-Shaun and Tarah and then chatting with all of you via comments, email and DMs.  I’m so happy we get to connect here and when you let me know my posts are helpful to you, it really makes my day!

Today’s post was SO FUN for me and I hope you like it too!  It took a really long time,

Hello friend, happy friday!  It always feels great to make it to the end of the week!

This weekend we’ll probably just be hanging around the house, enjoying the updates to our landscaping!  Thank you so much for all your sweet comments about it- it really made my day!  All those little improvements really made a big difference and now I’ve got a bad itch to paint the exterior.  But I’m not sure what would look good with our existing stone.  Guess that project needs some more thought and research!

How did you like the latest Gibson collection?

Hi friends, welcome back and thank you so much for being here.  I know this has been an emotional week for many of us.  Lots of us are feeling weary and drained and all I can think is, if that is how I feel now after just one week of all this attention on race and social injustice, imagine how the people who have been experiencing racism their WHOLE LIVES must feel.

No wonder people are pissed off.

And hurting.

It’s starting to sink in on another level.

I used to think that I wasn’t part of the problem because I have real life black friends that I absolutely adore and so do my kids. 

Good morning friends! Welcome to a fresh new week!  I used to dread Mondays, then somewhere it switched and now I love them!  But, that’s really only if I get my chores done on Sunday night and wake up not feeling behind!  Last night, I was up late cleaning the kitchen and getting things situated, and that makes waking up on Monday morning so much better!

I’m also training with my trainer twice a week via a Facetime call, and one session is always on a Monday. It gets it done and helps set the tone for the week.  Now that our weather is getting so much hotter,

Hello friends and happy . . .  what the heck day is it anyway?! They are all starting to feel the same!  Is it that way for you too?  As I was preparing for this Amazon post this week, I kept losing motivation, but I need to keep working and keep things as normal as I can for me, my family, and YOU too!

I’m happy that my kids seem to be doing just fine so far.  This was their Spring Break, so time off school was expected.  But, now they don’t go back until April 13, and we’ll start e-classes next week. 

Hello and YAY for Friday!  Do you have any fun plans?  I’m not too excited about Springing forward and losing an hour of sleep, but I do like summertime when the daylight lasts longer!  I’m planning on using this weekend to catch up on household chores, get my taxes in order, and getting a healthy meal plan and prep done. #adulting

My girlfriend Trisa and I booked a trip to Puerto Rico for Spring Break, so I’m using that as a way to push myself in the fitness department.  Having that vacay goal not too far away is getting me motivated!
