Hello friends & Happy Friday! I started BBG this week -- if you don't know what that is, it's a workout program created by Kayla Itsines. BBG stands for Bikini Body Guide -- Kayla has said publicly that she actually regrets naming it this, but that's what it stands for. I owned the BBG guide for a long time and even printed it out and had it ...

Recent Athleisure Favorites
I love athleisure wear and I'm always adding new pieces to my collection (hello fave weekend clothes!) I recently purchased this super soft cross-front sweater from Lole and it's such a versatile piece. I love that it's lightweight and can be thrown over anything. The best part is that it can be worn with the cross part at the front or back -- when ...
The BEST Workout Leggings (They’re Not the Brand You Think!)
Hello & happy Monday! I've been meaning to write this post forever and finally got around to it since I shot a new workout outfit this weekend. Before I start this post, let me preface it by saying that many of you know that my love for Lululemon ran deep. I even worked there over the holiday season in college. They were the be-all-end all for ...
30-Day Sugar Challenge
(so sad I'm not local and couldn't join these pretty ladies for this shoot!) Deep breaths. I’m partnering with three of my fave bloggers this month (Jess from Happily Hughes, Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels and Heather from My Life Well Loved) for a 30-day sugar challenge so I can learn to reduce added sugar intake in my diet. I've ...
Fitness Update + Getting Personal
This poster hangs in the personal training gym where I work out and the moment I saw it, I knew I was in the right place. Before we had kids, Kevin and I would often do boot camp classes five days a week--- we were in the best shape of our lives! I was also working out with a personal trainer before becoming pregnant with Harper. The moment I saw ...
Our Weekend…
Our Saturday was jam-packed this weekend! It started with Little Gym and ballet for the littles and then during Lincoln's nap, Harper and I headed to Figlia Kitchen for a kid's cooking class via iQuriouskids, a website Houston parents can use to find activities and classes for kids of any age. We made cookies, pizza and crepes! It was a fun ...

NORDSTROM'S winter sale is also on right now with many popular items up to 40% off! Check it out here. Perforated Open Toe Bootie (more cute open-toe ...
Fitness Update + Boden’s New Activewear Line
Recently I was sent pieces to try out from Boden's new activewear line, so I figured now was a better time than ever to give an update on my fitness situation. Before now, I didn't work out for two years. Yep, two whole years. In my first trimester, my OB recommended that I slow down since I had been doing pretty intense workouts with a trainer. ...
Our Weekend + Recent Buys + 14-Day Plank Challenge
Today was a really fun day. I woke up feeling a little anxious because I wasn't sure if Harper would be in pain or really bruised, but her upper lip area actually looked way better than the day before and though the swelling was still present on the inside of her upper lip, but the outside looked good, considering how hard the fall was. We ended ...
Stripes On Monday
Happy Monday! I'm blogging a little later into the night because I took a bootcamp class tonight. I had purchased a two-month membership at The Bar Method (on Gilt City!) a few months ago and I was going pretty consistently on weekends (and absolutely love the classes), but the studio unfortunatley didn't have any class times during the work week ...
