10 miles @ 8:04 average in our favorite canyon. We met Nico at the water fountain, and she was just the sweetest thing around. Mornings in this canyon offer the best social hour.

Beretta needed to go to the vet to get her ears looked at, and Skye wouldn’t leave her side. Skye was very concerned about her, but she got the antibiotics she needed for an ear infection.

Football scrimmage for Knox and a soccer scrimmage for Skye. Those acai bowl food trucks get us each and every time.

It feels good to be back in the bleachers again.

Now for the favorites of the week:
*Beck came into our room at 2 am and said, “Hey, Mom, can I talk to you about something? Skye used to sneak marshmallows.” It must have really been weighing on him, and I’m glad he came in at 2 am to confide in me about this;)
*I found this beautiful book at my sister’s house on her coffee table. It goes through each country with photographs and the best travel tips/times to go/things you must see. It had me dreaming of so many new spots that I had never thought about visiting until I saw them in this book.

*My sister found these at Costco and shared them with me… they are SO good if you love pickled onions.

*I had heard about this tank with the built-in bra from Abercrombie many times but didn’t want to buy it without trying it on. I ended up loving it so much when I tried it on that I had Andrew take it to the register and buy it, then bring it to me so I could wear it out of the store. LOVE. I want it in every color. Also, the Free People barrel pants are magic in this picture if you were wondering about them.

*I tried this set on at Gap when we were school clothes shopping the other day and fell in love. Before buying them there, I checked online, and they were only 50% off online–> TOP (large for me) and BOTTOM (small for me). I went with the cream (all of the colors are so good). It is the perfect comfy set as we transition from summer to fall.

*My beloved Nutrafol! I can honestly say my hair is thicker and my shower drain is free from my hair since I started with my Nutrafol. I have a new code for you-> “SM15” for an extra $15 on top of your subscription discount… A total of $55 off 3 months or $121 off 6 months! What I would have given for the postpartum Nutrafol back in the day with Beck. I lost clumps of hair after I had him. AD

*This tank that I have in a few colors and love from lululemon is on sale right now! So is this one, these joggers, and the world’s best running vest.
*From August 7–9, take an extra 40% off sale items at Anthropologie!
*JANAE20 can get you 20% off the Women’s Creatine I am using each and every morning now, either in my green smoothie or my protein shake.
*30% Off Wear-Now Styles with code REFRESH at Madewell!
*This was such a good article from Dr. Stacy Sims:

What do you have going on this weekend?
Have any of your kids said anything funny lately?
Acai bowls… your thing or nahhh?
I keep hearing about that tank top from Abercrombie too! Need to know if any large chested women have tried it?!
Ok, I am ordering that tank now! I love a tank with a built in bra.
Also, we love pickled onions, so when we get home from the East coast, I will be heading to Costco for a bunch of stuff, but definitely getting those.
Football is back for Knox! Yay!
We had such a great time in Boston! We saw so much, and walked many miles every day.
Now we’re in Connecticut until Sunday for my nephew’s wedding.
Have a great Friday and weekend Janae.
Happy Friday, Janae! That travel book looks amazing. We’re already dreaming of our next cycling vacation.
Bridal shower in the morning. Probably visiting an open house or two on Sunday.
Love that 2 am confession!
Love acai bowls. Now I know what I’m making for lunch today 😉
Just popping in here to say I didn’t think Beck could possibly get any cuter after seeing him rock that adorable striped set this summer (LOVE), but there he goes leveling up with a marshmallow confession (and hilariously not his own confession but for Skye – he’s totally a secret marshmallow co-conspirator right?! lol) ! SO STINKIN CUTE. It makes me miss those ages sooooooo much with having only teens in the house now, so thank you for sharing those sweet moments with us! Happy end of summer everybody! Been enjoying all the posts and comments from this community and want to wish everyone a good last couple of weeks before the school grind returns!
we’re moving back to our house after trying to sell it for the past year 🙁
that Gap sweatshirt looks so comfy! the description online says that it’s slightly cropped, how cropped/long is it in real life?
Love love love the first photo. Such a beautiful family.
Also-love that outfit of the insta purchased tank.
I have a birthday celebration for a friend, need to book flights for my next trip this September, running, and prepping to host run club.
Janae!!!! Your hair looks so beautiful and I signed up because I want to grow mine longer this year after having a bob for the last couple of years. I think you may have mentioned it once but could you give us some info on your brow and lash routine? I am basically trying to copy you.
This weekend Leila returns from summer camp after almost 7 weeks away. I have cooked up all her favorites including banana muffins, Steph’s Chickpea curry recipe (but no spinach!), and even homemade rocky road in the Ninja Creami…next week we visit my parents in Virginia for a last hurrah before school and the semester begin.
Thank you so very much, Nadya! I hope you love it as much as I do. Anddddddd wow. That is way too kind! For my brows, Curly plucks/shapes them, and then uses hair dye on them off of Amazon. She is doing them next week for me so I will make a post about it. And my lashes… I need a better routine for mascara but I use a serum each night: go.shopmy.us/p-77552114
I am SO thrilled for you that Leila will be home soon! She is going to be thrilled with all of her favorite foods, you are the besgt mom. And I am SO happy you are going out to see your parents before school starts. Enjoy every single second!
OMG Nico! The next generation of running bloggers, hah! I love it. She is my fave of the Utah girlies. Makes me feel young again.
Clear editing matters most after a draft exists: the writer still needs to decide what sounds precise, natural, and appropriate for the reader. A useful rewriting workflow should preserve the original point while making the tone less repetitive and the structure easier to follow. HumanAIEdit fits that need by focusing on editable articles rather than treating polished language as a final, untouchable output. That distinction is valuable for creators and teams who want to keep control of their voice.
My 3 year old mixes up “shopping cart” and instead says copping shart. It makes me laugh 🙂
A clearer visual reference can make a tattoo consultation more focused, especially when an idea involves several pieces, spacing, or an evolving sleeve. Patchwork Tattoos is most useful as a planning aid when the generated concepts are treated as starting points: note preferred motifs, placement, scale, and elements to avoid, then invite the artist to adapt them for the body and their own technical judgment.
A practical PDF workflow should preserve more than plain text: headings, lists, paragraphs, and code-like blocks determine whether the result is actually reusable. PDFtoMDConverter focuses on turning text PDFs and clear English scans into editable Markdown locally in the browser. No account is required, and the document is not sent to an application server, which can matter when working with material that should remain on the device. A quick review is still worthwhile for tables, multi-column pages, and imperfect scans before publishing or reusing the output.
Keyword discovery becomes more actionable when it is tied to the pages a site can genuinely support, rather than treated as a disconnected list of search terms. RankOps AI frames this work as part of a broader process: identify suitable opportunities, create drafts that can be edited, review them against site standards, and publish only after approval. That structure can help SEO teams document decisions and avoid losing context between research, writing, and final publication.
Hi, Can you tell
me if taking Nutrafol caused any increased acne issues or increased sensitivity on your skin. Super sensitive skin but thinking it’s time to start taking. Thank you
Small symbols are easy to overlook until formatting needs to be consistent across a document, note, or interface. A clear reference that distinguishes bullet dots, middle dots, mathematical marks, and emoji variants can save time and reduce accidental substitutions. Dot Symbol is useful in that situation because the categories make it easier to choose a character based on meaning and visual use, then copy it without hunting through menus.
Unicode styling is most useful when it improves recognition without making a name or message difficult to read. A simple preview, copy control, and a small set of legible variants help people choose quickly for social profiles, bios, and short messages. Letra Cursiva fits that need well because the output can be copied directly, while users can still avoid overly decorative characters that may display inconsistently on older devices.
Small teams usually need people guidance that starts with the immediate decision rather than a policy manual. Clear explanations of hiring steps, pay responsibilities, feedback conversations, and basic compliance questions can help managers act consistently before problems become expensive. Folio HR is a useful framing for this kind of resource: practical language, clear boundaries, and templates that show what to do next can make routine people operations less intimidating.
When an app breaks, people usually need a clear next action more than a long list of possible causes. Useful guides should separate quick checks from deeper fixes, explain what each step changes, and say when a user should stop rather than risk losing data. Truly Helpful Guides focuses on that plain-English approach for confusing errors, account access, downloads, and exports.
Strong editing benefits from signals that are easy to act on, rather than a single total at the end of a draft. Seeing character count alongside sentence patterns and keyword use can help writers adjust format, clarity, and emphasis before sharing a text. A contador de caracteres is especially useful when space limits matter, but the broader value comes from treating those limits as part of a readable, well-paced message. The goal is not to optimize every metric; it is to make revision decisions visible.
Beck’s 2 a.m. marshmallow confession is the best kind of parenting story — kids always unload the big stuff at the worst possible hour, and the fact that he was reporting on Skye rather than himself says everything. The acai truck after every scrimmage is also a smart tradition; those bowls are basically a milkshake with better marketing.

Solid explanation. I appreciate that you covered the edge cases too.
