Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! How was the week for you? I had two days off this week, including today and looking forward to the weekend since Hanukkah started last night! I booked us tickets for a driving light show that should be fun and the first time we’ve done anything like this with Sophia. Anyway, here are a few favorites from the week!

Donuts, presents & taco night

We’ve been enjoying bartaco at home with their taco packs and they make meal planning so easy – especially when you’re fresh out of ideas! Sophia clearly got a kick out of it!

If you’re like me and have trouble drinking enough water throughout the day, WaterMinder is a free app that helps “nudge” you into drinking enough water!

I’m having such a hard time being motivated to workout at home and honestly finding the time, but I’ve really enjoying dancing workouts recently. Pamela Reif doesn’t talk and her music is always super motivating! It doesn’t feel like a workout and I’m super sore after!

We celebrated the first night of Hanukkah at home with Trader Joe’s latkes (potato pancakes) – I was going to attempt to make them on my own and then thought better of it!

A few recent purchases that I’ve been loving:

  • Pastel sharpies
  • Winky Lux color changing balm – my friend Rachel got this for me and it changes based on your PH balance – so cool!
  • Glitter Glue – we’ve been doing way more crafts with Sophia and I bought this little set. Under supervision, it’s fun!
  • My “always pan” finally arrived in the lavender color & I love it! Cooked pasta in one pan (Sauce, ground turkey & the pasta!) It was awesome!

These are the days now – just juggling childcare, working & attempting some festiveness for the holidays. Wishing you all a wonderful and safe weekend!

    Sophia and her doughnut!! That is the cutest thing!! šŸ’— I have been really working on drinking LOTS of water, but I also find it hard to motivate myself to drink it! Normally I will add a drink mix to it, or a squeeze of lemon! Have a wonderful weekend!

    Happy Hanukkah! I probably need that water app. Some days I do amazing, and other days I go hours without drinking anything! I love Pamela’s videos too. If you want a similar structure with no talking and great music, try Heather Robertson. I love her strength, hit and weight training workouts and she always has the best music. I do good on my workouts, I need food motivation right now. I have major burn out. Hope you guys enjoy the lights, and have a great weekend!
