Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? Weâre officially on baby watch and I feel like a little kid heading towards Christmas morning. Baby August will be here ANY DAY and the girls canât wait to meet their new cousin. Iâm so thrilled for Kyle and Meg! By the time I write next weekâs Friday Faves post, heâll be here!!
Other than Baby Watch 2019, we have some fun plans for the weekend: a soccer game with friends, girlsâ night, date night, a birthday party, taxes (ew) and finishing up the house. This is in between the usual weekend fun of pancake mornings, staying in our jammies as long as humanly possible, and playing outside with the girls.The Pilot made a ton of progress on the garage while I was in Portland, so weâre just putting the final touches on everything in between hauling boxes to recycling and Goodwill. It will be so nice to have our garage gym set up again!

Itâs time for the weekly Friday Faves party! Please shout out something youâre lovinâ in the comments section if youâd like to join in the fun.
This floss! Is it weird to be so excited about floss? I picked this up at the Beautycounter conference. In the shop, they had quite a few products from clean brands they love. I was intrigued by this floss since Iâd recently heard that certain floss brands are not so great for you, and even though it was expensive for the floss world. I decided to give it a whirl.
The verdict? It has a gentle mint flavor and is a thicker strand so it feels like it really cleans in between my teeth. Floss isnât usually something Iâm that picky about, but now that Iâve tried the good stuff, I guess I canât go back.Â

My second Trunk Club delivery! (<â referral link) It wasnât quite as big of a home run as my first trunk – some of the sizing was off – but I LOVED this Madewell dress. It will be super cute this spring and summer with sandals and a jean jacket or with wedges and hoops out to dinner. You can check out my full review of Trunk Club here. I especially love it because you can see what theyâre going to send in advance (and decline certain items to be replaced by something else) and we donât have a Nordstrom in Tucson. This gives me a way to have some items curated for me and try them on before I purchase. Itâs like a lil Nordstrom shopping experience right at home. (Plus if you have a Nordstrom card, they waive the $25 fee! <â this fee goes towards anything youâd like to purchase)
Definitely check out this podcast episode with Shawn Stevenson and Chalene Johnson. Theyâre two of my favorite people – and huge inspirations for me in the fitness industry – and this issue was filled with so much truth, knowledge, and motivation. Â

Great list of mom hacks. I never leave the house without a snack bag.
