A Sunny Saturday

I’m so excited to share that we are enjoying a sunny Saturday morning in FLORIDA!

We canceled our fall and holiday trips due to COVID precautions. While I am so relieved that we did because Finn and I both ended up getting COVID during that time and it was just the right thing to do, we missed everyone so much. Now that both of my parents and my grandmother are now fully vaccinated, Finn and I had COVID recently and case numbers are stabilizing, we all felt comfortable scheduling a visit.

I understand that some people might not be ready to travel yet and I respect each individual and family’s decision to do what is best for them.

Finn was SO excited to go on a trip to Florida to see Meme, P-Paw and Mema. After breakfast on Friday morning he went upstairs and when I popped my head in his room to check on him he told me he was “packing.” He was piling all of his favorite toys, books and bedding into the corner of his bed. It was very cute.

Before we left we squeezed in a quick stroller run. I have been so out of the running groove lately and I would like to get back to running 3x/week. The spring weather is very helpful! Overall, I had a good week of workouts this week.

Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday were total rest days due to recovering from filming workouts for Fit Revolution and being in yoga teacher training. The rest of the week looked like this…

Monday: 60-minute hot power yoga
Tuesday: Taught a 60-minute strength/HIIT class
Wednesday: 3.5 mile run
Thursday: 3.7 mile walk
Friday: 3.4 mile stroller run

Not sure what today will look like…maybe just chasing Finn around on the beach, a walk or short run. Tomorrow will either be a run or a yoga practice with one of my favorite teachers in this area whom I haven’t practiced with in a year!

Finn was very much looking forward to getting to Mema’s house to play with toys. Of course she ordered some new things for him so he’s been in his glory checking them out.

Finn is also loving these new tie-dye shark pajamas that we ordered from Gap. They’re on sale right now for $17 and they’re super soft. He was outgrowing his PJs so I ordered a few new sets of 3T PJs.

We are here for five nights so we have a nice long visit to enjoy! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous for the duration of our stay…high 60s and sunny. I haven’t see the water this clear in a very long time. You can see to the bottom all the way out to the sandbar. It’s so pretty. While it won’t be ocean swimming weather, we will definitely spend a lot of time outside and on the beach. The back pool is heated so I’m sure we will end up taking a few dips.

Truthfully, I wouldn’t care if it was cold and rainy. I am just so grateful and happy to be here and to be together. <3

Wishing you all a great weekend.

QUESTIONS

If you were separated from family due to COVID, have you seen your family recently or do you have plans to see them soon? What are your deciding factors? 

Is there a workout that you would like to include more of in your mix this spring? Also, I haven’t forgotten the workout mix templates that I promised you!

Favorite place to get toddler/kid PJs?
