Friday Favorites!!

First 2.1 miles on my way to meet Maddie = I felt terrible and wondered why I didn’t just stay in bed.

Last 4.9 miles with Maddie = the minutes went by too fast.

I’m fully addicted to running with people.

I haven’t expressed my Koala Clip love in a little while but this is really something I don’t know how I ran without a few years ago. It comes with me on every run and I don’t even feel my phone on my back (it clips onto your sports bra).  If you want a discount code for one HERE you can use the code: HRG10 for 10% off.

The two of us went over to my mom’s house for a little while.

After school I told Brooke I would take her on a little date because she is leaving today for the weekend and her request was to go to the mall!

We came home and I was too tired to make anything complicated so German Pancakes topped with strawberries for the win.

At least I can talk Skye into wearing her favorite shirts/dresses that she can’t live without over her pajamas/clothes sometimes.

I have a few favorite things to share today!  Affiliate links included.

*Emilee’s brother has created something we are obsessed with over here.  They are reusable silicone food storage bags and they come in a pack of 5 (1 XL, 1L, 1M and 2S)!  They are super easy to throw into the dishwasher and they freeze and heat really well!  Less waste + the bags are thick + the seals are tight + they are very durable = we are very happy about these bags and have been using them non-stop since we got them!

*Andrew found another pair of ‘smooth like butter/I just want to live in these pajamas’ for me for my bday.  They are from Nordstrom HERE!  Still not sure how I went through so much of life without really soft pajamas but I never want to go back.

*I love reading about other people’s lives and that is probably why I love blogging so much.  If I can find a good memoir or documentary to watch, I’m in heaven.  I heard that Open Book was really good from a few people and I also really loved it.  If you like memoirs, I definitely would pick this one up and I also really enjoyed Inside Out by Demi Moore!  I just ordered Full Circle by Andrea Barber and I can’t wait to dig in.

*Another winning present from Andrew!  My new favorite socks.  Andrew had them made at PupSocks!

*Okay, last bday present from Andrew but he got me the polarized version of my favorite sunglasses.

*Last week Rachel told me about this podcast episode and if you need a pick-me-up then listen to this one.  It was just what I needed that day.

*Brooke left me this little note on my nightstand and it melted my heart.  SO THANKFUL she can text now when she is away and I feel like I’m checking my phone all day for texts when she is gone:)

*Dr. Stacey Sims on IG!  She wrote the book ‘Roar’ which I loved and she is an expert on female physiology and endurance training.  She says often—> ‘Women are not small men.  Stop eating and training like one.’  I’ve learned a lot about how to work with my physiology/hormones from her and I was so excited to find her on IG.   If you are interested in understanding your cycle and physiology better I would definitely check out her stuff (and if you need someone to convince you to start lifting heavy.. she is your woman:).
