Hi friends! Happy Friday and Happy Valentine\u2019s Day! What are your plans?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re having a lovely dinner with our two little Valentines and the rest of the weekend we have a Bridal shower, a fun charity event, and a couple of P\u2019s basketball games. Next week is Rodeo Break, the kids are off school, and I can\u2019t wait. I\u2019m also working my way through my IHP3 certifictaion and loving it.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

To be honest, I\u2019ve been in a little bit of a funk since the New Year. I\u2019ve been so motivated and excited behind the scenes, especially because my new program launch in a couple of weeks (!), but it\u2019s been WILD around here with birthdays, travel, and straight into retirement festivities. It\u2019s all been fun stuff, but I\u2019m still trying to find my groove. We\u2019ll get there \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

With my Valentine\u2026 and his Valentine:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, I can\u2019t celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day without thinking of Bella. I know she sent Maisey just for us, but I still miss her like crazy and we still talk about her almost every day.<\/p>\n

The best Valentine\u2019s Day gift so many years ago.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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 hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

2.14 Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

Fashion + beauty + random:<\/h3>\n

New shoe goofin. Got these beauties at Nordstrom Rack<\/a> and loooove them. Dolce Vita makes my fave flats right now.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This dress from Tuckernuck! I got it as part of their sale shopping spree. It\u2019s nice thick fabric and has pockets \ud83d\ude42 It\u2019s sold out but this one is pretty similar.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Obsessed with the Olive Rose skin tint + skincare in one.<\/a> It\u2019s light, breathable, makes my skin feel amazing, and you can layer it for extra coverage.<\/p>\n

Read, watch, listen:<\/h3>\n

Still obsessed with the show Younger.<\/em> It\u2019s light and witty and fun – the perfect way to wind down while I stroll on the walking pad.<\/p>\n

Why we can\u2019t stand feeling bored.<\/a><\/p>\n

A wear-for-everything denium shirtdress.<\/a><\/p>\n

How to forgive that earlier version of you.<\/a><\/p>\n

This book was magical and engrossing.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fitness, health, and good eats:<\/h3>\n

How to stay fit as a busy parent.<\/a><\/p>\n

We had zero zucchini growing all summer and fall but now that we\u2019re in the dead of winter, it\u2019s giant zucchini season again!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s thermogrpahy scan is done! Check out my experience with thermography here<\/a>. (You can see the CGM<\/a> I\u2019m wearing in the pic)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Taco meal for a friend:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Crockpot chicken bowls with yellow rice and cilantro pesto.<\/a><\/p>\n

Healthy hamburger helper.<\/a><\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n
