    The Friday Five, Issue 20

    Welcome to the Friday 5! Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving.  This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between!  What I am currently loving: Lululemon Joggers Y’all know I am a sucker for Lululemon’s leggings from my post here, but these joggers might actually be my favorite Lululemon item.  They are amazing.  Like wearing your pj’s but looking more put together.  The material is just right, not too warm or too thin.  They have pockets, don’t fade and I get compliments every single time I wear them. …

    What I Learned From a 90 Day Workout Challenge

    Last year, at the beginning of the stay at home orders in Louisiana my gym, Evolve Studios, did the quickest pivot I have ever seen and immediately had daily live streaming workouts and rapidly built a library of pre-recorded workouts for its’ members to do at home.  The first couple of weeks I would try to do “a little something” everyday and sign-on to the live workouts as often as my schedule allowed.  On Saturday, March 28th, after a pretty good week of at-home workouts, I decided I would take it easy and not workout.  My day was TERRIBLE.  The kids drove me crazy, Matt drove me crazy, I had…

As well as all 3 of my girls as infants…

    The Complete Summer Camp Guide For 2021

    If you have been following me for any length of time, I think it is obvious that I am very Type A and live for a schedule.  So, while the freedom of summer sounds appealing in theory, it can be very overwhelming for me with nothing on the agenda.  I usually try to put together our summer schedule in early spring, so I am not hit with any surprises once school is out.  When I asked a few weeks ago about content, a reoccurring question was about summer camps and what to do with your kids this summer. So, I feel like you are really my people.  Summer boredom ain’t…

    5 Hacks to Stop Hating Your Laundry

    I hated laundry.  It was literally the bane of my existence.  I casually mentioned to Matt that I was thinking about sending out all our laundry.  I had seen a handful of ads on Facebook that would pick up your laundry, wash, dry and return it neatly folded in 24 hours.  He looked at me like I was insane.  What he actually said was, “don’t you think you hire out enough?”  Ouch.  But, he has a point.  I am a stay at home mom that has a part time nanny and a housekeeper that comes every other week.  It’s not as if I don’t have time to do the laundry. …

Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving.  This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between!  What I am currently loving: Fairy Tales Hair Care Products I had been struggling for about a year with the girls’ hair.  It was very dry and almost brittle.  Lillian’s hair is fine and wavy, Stella’s is thick and straight and nothing I was using seemed to do the trick for either of them. I wanted to stick with something nontoxic and of course tear free, since they…
