Busy Tuesday + grilling

I have never been very good at yoga. My flexibility is not great & every time I would go, I would get frustrated & just stop going. I’m not very patient…BUT, I have been been going for about a month now, 2 weeks consistently & I’m seeing SMALL improvements! I’m also slightly addicted. I also…

Memorial Day Weekend Wrap-up!

Friday afternoon I decided to tackle our garage. I took a bunch of donation stuff that had been sitting in a corned since November…whoops. Then I stopped by Mama Jean’s for lunch – smoothie, tuna & kale concoction, chips, and cookie…balance! Our friends Scottie & Brandi were having an engagement party on Saturday, so I…

Sunshine + family walks!

Got a nice 10 mile run in yesterday. It’s definitely taking me some time to adjust to the heat when I sleep in…I guess I could just get up earlier. We will see how that goes! I’ve been enjoying sleeping in past 4:30 am! Ash and I had plans to meet for lunch at 12:30,…

BBQs + sleeping in!

This is Lulu’s favorite spot to sit any time I am in a chair. It cracks me up! She usually just curls up into a tiny little ball like this and passes out. After a quick breakfast, it was time for yoga! I decided to rock some of my favorite neon pants. These are SO…

New foods & lots of puppy cuddles!

The route builder is one of my favorite features on Strava! I usually have a route in mind, but if I want to double check the distance, I use this. I love Strava. I was worn out from hot yoga, but wanted to get a run in. I drank some BCAAs and hit the pavement.…

The start of summer!

Has anyone else tried this stuff? It’s SO good. I usually don’t stray far from water & coffee, but this might just become a regular drink. It’s two servings per bottle, so it lasts me two or three days. The flavor is so unique, but also refreshing. I love it! Well, here is the last…

Weekend Wrap-up + last day of school!

Today is the last day of school…I can’t believe it! My room is 99% packed, so I just have a few things to throw into one last box & I am finished. It will definitely be a bittersweet day. I don’t think it’s really going to sink in until August, though. Enough about that! Here’s…

Enjoying the sunshine + a 5-year throwback + family time!

Just editing some manuscripts & eating carrots. I have an editorial assistantship over the summer for a literacy research magazine. I have never done any work like this before, but I’m really enjoying it! I think it will be so beneficial, especially as I continue to conduct my own research & publish it. It’s nice…

Neon, stress management, & all the Mexican food.

Snacks yesterday morning! These cupcakes were in the work room…I caved & grabbed one. I didn’t realize how many laughs this tiny treat would give me throughout the day. And yes, it was delicious! I got this email from one of our sweet counselors at school. She knows I usually try to steer clear of…

Meal prep + early bed time + SUPER thankful!

I had leftover chicken, quinoa, & black beans for lunch yesterday. All mixed together with Sriracha & salsa, of course! I submitted ALL final grades for the college courses I taught this spring. YAY! One of the professors I teach with sent me a Starbucks gift card. How sweet was that?! I guess my coffee…
