Friday Favorites
It’s Friday and I’m here for it! I’ve struggled with finding routine all week, not to mention how tired I’ve felt after more than two weeks of sleeping in and wearing pajamas almost every day. Anyone else feel the same? Phew! I’m already looking forward to climbing into bed tonight and sleeping in tomorrow!
As for this week, it’s been a great one to start the year off!
I’m reaaaaaally trying to work out more. I’m already signed up for a race later this summer, but lately I’ve been focusing on weights and since November I’ve been following online workouts from Caroline Girvan. Caroline has an app, but I use her YouTube videos. She’s based out of Ireland and she feels like a workout buddy! Right now I’m doing her Iron Series and some of the workouts are really hard, but I’m feeling so much better…and stronger! I did make the mistake of weighing myself – YIKES! I’ve put on about 5 pounds. It’s not exactly my goal to bulk up, but I’m feeling better and a little more toned here and there, so I definitely need to stay off the scale.
Here’s a picture from glute day.
Next up, Jane lost her second tooth. I’ve also been cracking up about how put together she looks when I send her off to school in the mornings versus when she gets in the car at the end of the day. Oh to be a kindergartner!
Our Eliza auditioned for a musical at our local theater. She ended up getting the role of, “Beauty,” in the Enchanted Tales of Beauty and the Beast. She’s a bit nervous, but also excited! So proud of her!
Our Henry is Student of the Month this month for his 8th grade class! He’s such a fun kid and loves learning! We’re so incredibly proud and happy for him, too!
I’m back to reading. I read 52 books last year and hope to read less this year. Yes, less.
I’m hoping to read 30. The reason being less, is well, I’m not a super fast reader, so these books take up A LOT of time and I found myself letting certain things go in other areas of my life…LOL..like the laundry! 😉
I’ve heard and read fantastic things about, The Women and so far it’s REALLY good!
Who else has read it?!
Also, these gloves. I’ve purchased these (they come in different sizes and colors) for all three kids and they’ve been awesome! We put on these gloves BEFORE our coats which prevents snow and cold from getting up into sleeves! I’m a huge fan of these gloves and just ordered two more for the girls before we head up skiing next weekend!
Lastly… this. The way I chuckled. Bahahaha!
Thank you so much for being here, friends! Happy Weekend!
