11.22 Friday Faves

11.22 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had an amazing one! What’s going on this weekend? I’m looking forward to decorating for Christmas, a girls’ night, and a family hike. We’re also headed to see Wicked today. Have you seen it yet?! My week started off the best possible way because it was birthday celebration at Miraval. Betsy drove down from San Diego and we enjoyed True Food and shopping at La Encantada, and then Sunday morning, we met up with everyone for a spa day. I didn’t really want a *party* to celebrate my 40th. I just wanted to hang out with my closest friends, enjoy some activities, spa treatments, and eat delicious healthy food. That’s exactly what we did, and it was perfection. I’m so thankful to have an amazing group of friends, and I loved spending the day with them. It was also my first time playing pickleball and I get the hype. It was super fun!! ( Jacket is here // leggings are here ) (Grounding massage: head, hands and...

I hope that you’re having an amazing day! I’m here in between client calls and going to take Maisey for a walk before I pick up the cream. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! Bring on the holidays, family time, and all of the delicious food 😉 I LOVE cooking, but I have to say that having the right cookware makes it even more enjoyable. We swapped out our pots and pans for nontoxic options years ago, but didn’t replace our bakeware until recently. I’ve been using parchment to avoid aluminum leaching into the food, but our old and sad aluminum pans needed.to.go. I’ve been doing a ton of research, and decided on Caraway – I’ve been blown away by the quality and the materials.

How’s the day going? I hope you’re having an amazing afternoon. I’m here in between client appointments and getting ready for part two of the day. Picking up the kids and heading into after school activities and homework feels like an entire day on its own. So let’s switch to vacation mode! Today, I’m sharing a recap of our recent Disney cruise.

We’re so happy that the Pilot’s sis and our niece were able to join us, in addition to some of our closest friends and travel buddies. We’re officially Disney cruise obsessed. It’s the perfect mix of family time, adult time, delicious f...
