Hey friends! I have been a little MIA lately because we got struck with FLU-MAGEDDON, and I needed to prioritize my energy elsewhere. But I'm back and feeling WAY better! 🥳 Quick recap - My daughter got the flu the day before my husband was leaving town for about a week for work. And it was the same weekend I had a half-marathon. That was about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I had my mom and MIL here that weekend for help. But then I came down with the flu the day of my half-marathon. I was able to medicate myself well enough to finish the race (which I'm sure was inadvisable, and was very challenging, but I'm glad I finished!). That Monday, both kids seemed fine, so they went to school, and I was able to stay home and fully embrace the sickness - I mostly slept. Then on Tuesday, my son got sent home with a fever, my daughter was still struggling, and my MIL was now testing positive. It was a full-blown flu fest for the rest of the week. Fortunately, my husband got home and was able to avoid getting infected. Even when the flu officially passed, I have been dealing with sinus headaches all week. Until finally today, I am feeling like I'm back to 90%. I know they say the strain of flu going around this year is a tenacious one, and I can certainly attest to that! We are firm believers in vaccines, and I'm so glad we got them because I couldn't imagine it being any worse than it was. Anyway, that is probably the sickest I've been in quite a long time, and the highest fevers my kids have ever had so far. It was a little scary, and I'm so glad it's over! What have you guys been up to the past couple of weeks?! Anything exciting you want to share?!

Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend?! What did you do? Unfortunately, my daughter passed the flu over to me 😷 But I was able to run my half-marathon before the symptoms kicked into high gear, so I did that! Tell us about your weekend!

Let us see what you’ve been up to, share something fun, exciting, or sincere that you’ve been working on. 🤳

Happy Saturday! Whatcha up to these weekend?! Anything fun! We’ve got 2 bday parties this weekend 🤪 But I was able to teach yoga in the park this morning!

Well done on completing another week in the busiest time of the year! I hope you've had a chance to practice self-care, hopefully by moving your body a bit and pausing to connect with your mind. As we head into the weekend, I'd love to know........ What is your FAVORITE holiday/seasonal beverage at this time of year? Are you into mulled wine? Egg nog? Good ol' Hot Chocolate? Do you have a special recipe you wanna share?! 👀 (I love trying new holiday recipes!)
