Hi friends! Happy Friday! What\u2019s going on this weekend? We have an NCL event, two birthday parties, and are meeting up with friends at the pool for dinner. I\u2019ve also been slacking with my IHP 3 studies,<\/a> so I\u2019m planning on doing some major catch-up.<\/p>\n

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

(nothing like a decaf Americano and a gluten-free donut)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s already in the 90s here but I\u2019m kinda loving it. SO ready for summer. I hope that you have a fun weekend ahead!<\/p>\n

Last week was our Carmina Burana<\/em> performance and it was epic. (Check out the article here<\/a> and a little clip from our chorus practice.) It was such a gift to be surrounded by so many talented musicians and the venue was FULL; almost completely sold out for Sunday\u2019s show. The Pilot brought the kids on Friday and Madre and Nani came to the show on Sunday. Liv also had a dance competition at the same venue, so I was Mrs. Doubtfire-ing it between sympony performances and dance mom life.<\/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 to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

4.4 Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

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

This week was our first official week of homeschooling P. (Liv is happy and thriving at the school she tranferred to in January.) I\u2019m working on a blog post with all of the details – it will be up on Tuesday – but it\u2019s going even better than I was expecting. We\u2019re able to spend some quality time together, learn, and also have freedom to adjust the plan as needed. I never intended on being a homeschool mom, but am loving it so far.<\/p>\n

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

Every day we work on reading, writing, math, and take Maisey for a walk. We add in science experiments, baking, art, Spanish, and social studies\/geography throughout the week. I\u2019m definitely flying by the seat of my pants, but am so greatful to fellow homeschool moms who have swooped in to help me with advice and curriculum ideas!<\/p>\n

Dying over this new collection.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Finally updated the podcast here!<\/a><\/p>\n

This is so random but I love this YouTube channel.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Our free Spring Forward wellness challenge starts on April 21! Meet me here Monday for all of the details + how to sign up.<\/p>\n

Making this blueberry crisp asap.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet potato soup with roasted cauliflower crumbles.<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re all obsessed with Spanish tortillas right now<\/a> (and they\u2019ve been an awesome Friday dinner for Lent). Here\u2019s the recipe.<\/a><\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s buying cars and electronics with the whole tariff situation and I\u2019m here buying olive oil.<\/a> #priorities<\/p>\n

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

Just wanted to share this client win for the week! This client was at a weight loss plateau and was struggling with inflammation, joint pain, and dry eyes. We\u2019ve been playing the long game, starting with functional testing to determine imbalances, rebalancing her body, working on nervous system regulation, and repairing her metabolism with reverse dieting.<\/p>\n

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

She earned her way to a cut, and now is eating the same amount of calories she was when we started working together, losing weight, inches, improving her body composition, stronger with her workouts, and the eye issues and joint pain are nonexistant. She is absolutely crushing it and it\u2019s been amazing to see her progress.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I\u2019ll see ya soon!<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n
