All of my guests departed over the weekend. My mom left on Saturday and the girls left on Sunday. It was an amazing week but I have a renewed appreciation for quiet and cleanliness at the moment. 🙂 I’ll be sharing a post about the second half of their visit later this week…most likely Wednesday.
Things aren’t staying quiet around here for long because we have another houseguest rolling in this afternoon…
BEAR BUNDON! Some of you might remember that we hosted “golden retriever summer camp” last year and dog sat for one of our teachers. It was so much fun! Well, a few months ago we texted her asking if we were going to get Bear again this summer. Our friend has four kids and they travel a lot during the summer so she said yes and we were pumped! I think we have him until the first week in August!!!
Give me all of the dogs.
90-Minute Workout Playlist
Okay, let’s talk fitness. First, I made you a 90 minute workout playlist to motivate you through your hot summer runs and gym sessions. Here it is.
And here is the direct link to the playlist on Spotify. I hope you enjoy. It’s packed with songs I’m loving for my strength and yoga classes and my own runs.
