The Friday 5

Image
Hi, happy Friday and happy August! It’s so crazy how fast this summer is flying by! This weekend, we’re off to Stowe Mountain Lodge for our annual family trip. The resort has invited us to visit the past two years, and we look forward to all year long. We seriously cannot wait to be there! In today’s edition of The Friday 5, there’s a mix of everything from family entertainment to travel accessories and a supplement that helps me stay calm and carry on! 😉 Enjoy your weekend, friends! 1. Shark Duvet and Pillowcase Set – There’s also a dinosaur , astronaut ,  princess , mermaid , and unicorn version! How fun is this for a 5-year-old?! Quinn is getting a big boy bed soon, so I think these would be the perfect sheets for it! 2. You Verse Wild – This is such a fun show to watch with Quinn and Mal. It’s basically a “pick your own adventure,” so you interact with your TV and pick how the host will decide what to do next. It’s definitely a good time for the whole family! 3. Stash

These low-carb frozen keto treats cull everything that’s great about an icy-cool dessert, but cut out all the sugar , additives, and excess carbs. Enjoy simple 3-ingredient chocolate Popsicles, or jazz them up with a chocolate drizzle and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Life Between Naps

I mentioned the concept of a compressed work week in my Monday post. I love the idea of it, even for someone like me who decides when I do whatever I need to do. But I actually feel the need to do the opposite right now and spreading out my task list to all seven days. Our beloved babysitter, Emily, moved to DC for her dietetic internship, and so I’m finding ways to get my posts written, client recipes done, and Beautycounter tasks, among other things, finished during nap time. That means that time blocks are short and unpredictable. Posts like this one are easy enough to do, but posts that require procuring ingredients; prepping, cooking and shooting a recipe; food styling, photography, cleaning the kitchen, photo processing, writing the post, and sometimes editing back and forth with client approvals – now that takes longer than a nap time to do!
