happy friday! today i thought i’d do a ‘weekly roundup’ of some good things i’ve found on the interwebs [including this post i wrote, because the advice is top notch], as well as answer a few q’s that have come in recently. here goes!:
best of the web:
- as i have been dabbling in wellness, more and more has surfaced about how your hormones affect more than you think! i found this article while surfing the ‘net, and it paints a really good, but digestible, picture of how our hormones affect us in even sneakier ways than we think. the sugar cravings are realllllllll.
- if i had to describe my perfect weekend style, it would be summed up in all of these outfit options, with just a sprinkle of athleisure added in.
- i got a lot of really great feedback on this post i wrote this week, summing up some great career advice! [including some from my mom, a total #girlboss]. i also got some great advice in the comments, which i’ll be including in my next round of stellar advice from some really smart people. i find it so much easier to digest these kind of things in small bites, and decide how to expand my learning from there, and i hope you find it valuable as well! [and if you aren’t here for the career stuff, just the outfits or the #momlife, feel free to just breeze on by that post]
- ice cream can kill you – what a time to be alive. jk, that’s a little dramatic, but be careful for that listeria, friends. [also, i’m super guilty of doing this, so it’s amazing i’ve made it all the way to 28 at this point]
- it’s week one of august, which means that allll the horoscopes are out! if you’re like me and enjoy reading them, but really don’t take them too seriously unless something really awesome is going to happen, read this one and this one. mine said that something unexpected was going to happen this week, and i’m pretty sure that happened yesterday. i wore an all-white shirt, and didn’t spill ONCE. although, logan did grab the sleeve of it with salsa all over her hands when we were out to dinner, but by that point, i really didn’t care.
q & a:
fave leggings?: i touched on this one here, and will be doing a full post in the near future on my ABSOLUTE favorite ride-or-die leggings, but here are a few of my favorites + why:
where are you from? i get this one a lot, so i figured i’d address it again! i live in small-town central minnesota, and work in minneapolis. i get the best of both worlds!
you have a lot of white in your house. how do you keep it clean with a little kid? ooohhh, let me introduce you to my bff, these guys. they are lifesavers. even if you don’t have a kid + dog running around, they are still helpful and do triple duty, cleaning just about everything. but for real, i’ve removed every stain under the sun out of our white walls with these, and can’t recommend them enough.
how do you balance work, a family, and blogging? got asked this multiple times, again 🙂 as much as i originally told myself i didn’t really enjoy writing, that “numbers” were my only passion, i truly enjoy writing and it’s not hard for me [when i’m feeling inspired]. to me, this is something i enjoy doing, and like anything else you enjoy, you make time for it. typically for me, that’s after logan goes to bed and joey and i are hanging out, both usually working on our passion projects [his coaching or plans for his hunting land, me this]. in today’s day and age, there are so many tools to schedule everything, so my social is typically going live while i’m driving to work, and these blog posts are pushed live as i’m waking up and brushing my teeth in the morning! [so weird, i know, but i have it timed so i can see the email notification as i’m getting ready to go workout. it makes me feel so productive from the get-go!]. i get to enjoy the fruits of my labor all day long as people chat with me in the elevator, dm me, and comment on my posts throughout the day! i just love it. doing this fuels me and rounds out my passions as a mom, a career woman, a wife, a friend, a daughter, etc. i could go on and on. i just love connecting with you guys!
