Friday Favorties!

 
(bra, tank (similar), shorts, shoes)

6.28 miles with Andrew @ 8:25 pace and 4 x 30 second strides at the end.

The water park was calling our name.

Beck could play with this for hours on end.

When your roses are almost as big as your child’s head…

And a stop for more chicken food always leads to kids begging for pet bunnies.

A few things from this week:

*My dearest Ali.  This episode had me sobbing.  The community she has built is going to carry her through this.  I hate cancer.

 

*This documentary is about Sally McRae and the Cocoon 250 Ultra.  I just cannot even imagine.

“It’s really easy for me, if I’m not moving at the pace I want to move, to not even appreciate the fact that I’m moving forward.”

 

*I no longer need to ever leave my house again. I have my pebble ice machine and Ninja Creami up and running. Prepare for all sorts of creations with that thing, and that pebble ice machine will keep me hydrating all summer. Andrew did his research with the ice machine and concluded this one to be the best. It has been amazing so far and kept up easily with the ice needs of 6 people.  My nieces and their friends have been stopping by to get ice too;)

With the Ninja Creami, I’ve been making ice cream, core power creations, and gelato. It makes everything so creamy, and you can add mix-ins, which has made amazing cookies n’ cream core power ice cream. PS It’s all about the respin on the ninja creami. I first put it through on lite ice cream, add 1-2 tbs of milk, core power, or heavy whipping cream, and spin it again. It is the key to the creamiest treat in just a few minutes.

This one was just a strawberry core power and cut-up strawberries. It turns everything into ice cream.
*The best chips ever are back at Trader Joe’s!
*Andrew and I are loving Platonic on Apple TV.

*Hope by NF was just added to my running playlist.

So heartbroken over Ali’s news! I have been following her blog as long as yours! I will be praying for her and her family!

🙏 I feel like I’m still in shock. I was just with her! Thanks for being with us over the years. Have a beautiful weekend, Cheryl.

I found Ali through Janae’s blog. It feels like we are all family. I know we are all sending Ali so much love. I actually listened to the episode before I saw her post. I was excited when I saw it was a life update and thought perfect, I love a good Ali update for my morning run. And then my heart just sunk… total shock. Cancer totally sucks!

That Ali on the Run episode was heart breaking 😢

I watch Netflix the most and I’ve been loving the Ultimatum. Why do I love trashy dating shows so much??? I don’t know, but I do lol

I know. I feel like I’m still in shock for her. We will all get her through this.

Ohhhhh you aren’t alone, I love them all so much too. Ultimatum was one of our faves!

That picture of Beck is so cute! The tiny Crocs!!
I need to watch the Sally McRae documentary!
We started the Tour de France documentary on Netflix last night. We have made it through 3 (of 8) episodes so far. It’s an interesting edit so far. It has led me to yelling things like “But show Tadej winning Planche des Belles Filles!!” I either need to pop a chill pill for the remaining episodes or watch it alone. Haa
Last thing-I started today’s Armchair Anonymous this morning. It’s nurses theme. Andrew will probably get a kick out of it!

You are going to love her documentary. AHHHH IT’S ON!?!? Okay, I will start it tonight. Thank you so much for sharing. Hahaha I wish I could watch it with you. Sending that episode to Andrew, thanks Molly! Have a beautiful weekend!

Hi Janae! My husband and I stayed upateadt night watching platonic and now I am super sleepy! I don’t know what the ninja creami is, I’ll have to check it out! That quote from Sally McRae is so true!! I’ll have to keep that in mind.
Have a wonderful day!

It’s so good! I’m exhausted today from staying up too late watching it too haha. My running friends influenced me to buy the creami and I’m so happy I did. Happy Friday, Amy!

I’ m still hooked on MInd over Marathon 10 people suffering from various forms of depression, using running as therapy…with the goal of none runner to running the London Marathon in 20 weeks…. a very emotional watch, but inspirational…..

I’ll have to watch that next, thank you! Have a great day, Warren!

I was wondering if you were going to mention Ali. I was floored when I listened to that podcast with all that she has been through. She is one tough woman and I pray that she conquers this.

Reply

I feel like I’m still in shock. I love her so much. I just know her positive attitude is going to help her fight through this. And with all of the prayers she is getting from her fan club that adores her. Thanks for sharing, John.

We are watching Platonic too. So entertaining.
I also hate cancer.

Wish we could all watch it together. Seriously, Erica. You get it.

Reply

You did it, you got the ice machine! You’re going to looooove it. You are nice to share though, I get annoyed when my husband uses it (because I clean it!).

Reply

I DID IT! Well, Andrew did it and didn’t tell me until it was here because I felt too guilty getting it hahaha but now I see it is worth every single penny. Oh that would be annoying, I’m putting Andrew in charge of cleaning it;). Happy weekend, Tess! Was it your achilles bugging you? I hope it is better!

Love those chips!! I wish TJ’s would keep them stocked.

YEAR ROUND. Let’s start a petition.

I too sobbed while listening to Ali’s life update. What a shock. But wow, has it been heart warming to see the community she’s built rally with support.
The look of concentration and determination on Beck’s face! Adorable.
I also don’t know what the ninja creami is, but I am really interested in it now. It seems really easy to use.
No big plans this weekend, which is ok. I desperately need to get some cleaning and reorganizing done in our house.
I had my book club dinner last night, and ended up staying up really late for me, so I am starting the day slow. Ha ha
Have a good Friday 😊

She truly has built an amazing community filled with so much love, it makes me tear up just thinking about it.
It literally just turns a liquid into ice cream. And the creamiest ice cream we have ever had. We can’t get enough. Wish I could bring one over for you this weekend. Good luck with the cleaning and I am so glad you had such a good night! Thanks Wendy, you too!

Wow! My friends and I were JUST debating about whether or not salt & vinegar chips are good. The group is split 50/50. I sent your TJ photo and my friend said she agrees with you and is actually going there tomorrow to buy them.

IMO, the best chips are Cape Cod , plain or russet chips (they’re toasty). Not sure if you would have them in Utah or if it is a regional thing, but their chips are sooooo good. Kettle cooked are the way to go!

Where’s your swimsuit from?? I’ve seen it in ads, but the websites always look sketchy!

My kids bought me that pebble ice maker for Christmas in 2021. I love it SO much!!
I started following Ali on the Run about the time I started following you or maybe a little before. I am heartbroken and sending all the warm hugs her way! Stupid Cancer.
I’m watching “The Great” on Hulu. It’s funny but so much swearing and sex. Makes me giggle.
