Spring smoothie date

Spring smoothie date

A lil spring chat with my friends out there and sharing some exciting news.

Hiiiii! How are you? I hope that your day is going well and that you had a lovely weekend. It’s been a while since we’ve had a smoothie or coffee date around here, so I’d love to catch up!

(in real life, it would be a fresh smoothie, not a bottled smoothie but let’s just go with it)

Let’s grab a smoothie, and catch up a little.

If we were having a smoothie date….

I’d want to know how you’re doing. Like, REALLY doing. How are the kids? How are you feeling? Are you stressed about May-cember and end of school stuff, or doing ok?

I’d want to know if you’ve taken any new workout classes, tried any new restaurants, and I’d love hearing all the details about upcoming vacations and summer plans.

I’d tell you that I’m so relieved that we started homeschooling P. I was SO stressed about it and put a ton of pressure on myself, which is why I didn’t consider this possibility earlier, but she’s a different kid. She’s thriving, we’re having so much fun together, and I honestly feel like it’s giving me a chance to enjoy her childhood a bit more. Since the girls were born, it’s been a wild ride, and as an anxious person myself, I was always focused on, “what’s next” and two steps ahead, instead of enjoying the present moment. The past couple of years, I’ve forced myself to be more present because they’re growing up so, so quickly. I can’t even believe Liv will be in 8th grade next year!

I’d tell you that I’ve been teaching barre at an amazing local studio and would invite you to take a class! While I don’t teach nearly as much as I used to – I can’t imagine teaching 15+ classes a week again – my 1-2 classes a week are perrrrrfect.

I’d also share the exciting news with you… we’re headed to Europe for 6 weeks, maybe longer. We’re going to Italy, France, and Spain, and I.can’t.even.wait. Last year when we went to Spain, we toured a couple of gorgeous apartments. With the tax (21%!) we calculated that we could spend the same amount of money to spend almost the entire summer in Europe for the next 19 years, and have the flexibility to go wherever, instead of being in one spot. So, summer #1, let’s goooooo!!! Of course, I’ll share all of the adventures on Instagram stories and here on the blog. It feels like a huge treat and we’re all ready for it.

I’d ask you if you like pickleball and if you wanted to play sometime. I’m not good at pickleball, but I love it, and am always looking for chances to practice. The kids are into it, too!

I’d ask you if you’d split a gluten-free treat with me, and plan our next catch-up date, since time flies by and at this point, you have to schedule things way in advance. 😉

So tell me, friends: how are you *really* doing? Any summer plans? Do you like pickleball or no? Let’s chat in the comments section.

xoxo

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry Move over Everest, there’s a new headline-grabber in town and it’s barely taller than you are. Mount Paltry has exploded on social media as the world’s smallest mountain , a tiny bump in Australia that has become internet-famous precisely because it looks… well, not very mountain-like at all. In a world obsessed with extreme hikes and record-breaking peaks, this modest mound has captured global attention by doing the exact opposite: being proudly underwhelming. Where on Earth Is Mount Paltry? Mount Paltry is described in viral posts as a miniature mountain in Australia, rising only a few metres above the surrounding land. It’s usually shown as a small, rounded rise in an otherwise flat landscape the kind of bump you might expect to call a hill, or even “just a bit of ground,” rather than a mountain. That’s exactly why people love it: the contrast between the dramatic title “world’s smallest mountain” and the very ordinar...

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles Did you know that over 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or larger? Yet, despite the demand, the fashion industry has been slow to provide elegant, well-fitting, and on-trend plus- size wedding guest dresses. Many women face limited choices, ill-fitting designs, and outdated silhouettes that fail to highlight their curves. Shopping for the perfect dress can feel like navigating a minefield either the options lack style, the fit is off, or the available dresses don’t align with the formality of the event. For years, plus-size women have been told to “hide” their curves instead of celebrating them. Traditional formalwear often lacks the structure, comfort, or aesthetic appeal needed to make plus-size wedding guests feel just as glamorous as their straight-size counterparts. The frustration of sifting through uninspiring racks, struggling with restrictive fabrics, or settling for ill- proportioned designs is all too fami...
