A Saturday morning that starts off with donuts from Cider Belly tells you that it’s going to be a good day!
Seriously. I don’t think I would ever be able to pass up a good donut like these. They are just incredible!
We snagged our weekly half dozen of donuts after our last week of Saturday morning soccer for the boys. Alex will still be continuing during the week when he’s with my mother-in-law, but Lucas will be taking a break since baseball will be starting up at the end of April (YAY!!).
Most of our Saturday afternoon was spent hanging at home, and the weather was nice enough (although still chilly) to get outside for a bit and some of the neighborhood kiddos got to play.
Early Saturday evening, my parents came to pick up the boys for a fun-filled sleepover! They all went out to dinner, then hit up the bowling alley for some bowling, which they both loved.
And mom and dad got out for dinner and drinks with some friends!
First we met up with our pals Brian and Mal for dinner at Innovo Kitchen, which we’ve been to a couple of times in the past, but this particular visit wasn’t quite as good as we remembered. Ahh well.
I ordered their house made black bean burger, which was okay, but nothing to really rave about. Their fries, however, are always delicious.
And then after dinner, the four of us met up with the rest of our friends at Brick House Tavern to help celebrate our friend Steve’s 40th birthday!
Getting to spend time with these girls always makes me so, so happy. They are just the best. <3
Thanks to the boys having their sleepover, Jay and I got to sleep in a bit into Sunday, enjoyed a slow morning of coffee and a couple of our DVR’d shows, and also squeezed in a couple of workouts.
I just finished up my second round of FB Burn with Fitness Blender last week, so I decided to start another round of FB Strong (you can read my review on that here!). Part of me is starting to get a little bored with the Fitness Blender workouts (I still love them, I’ve just been doing them consistently for about a year now), so I’m trying to think of what else I might be able to switch up and/or incorporate into my routine. So we shall see!
And now, here we are into another new week, which happens to be a pretty fun and exciting one for us…we’re bringing the boys to see Sesame Street Live on Tuesday, and then later in the week we’re headed back to Great Wolf Lodge, and I am honestly SO EXCITED to surprise them with it!
I’ll catch you guys later this week – have a great day! <3
Hi! How does fitness blender burn compare to strength? Did you prefer one over the other? Thanks!
Burn has a little more HIIT involved, Strong is a little more focused on strength. Burn also has a bunch of “extra credit” workout options on most days if you want to incorporate those as well. They’re both awesome, just more what you’re looking for personally!
Fun weekend! I am trying to talk my parents into doing their first sleepover with our guy. I miss sleeping in! Have a good week!
Your arms look amazing in that workout photo!!!
Oh my goodness, thank you, Shelby!!
I got in the same funk with FB, I love them but sometimes I need am massive change! I did Lauren Gleinsberg home workouts 30 X 30 and it’s been great, I’m actually going to try FB new 30 mins workouts , and SHOCKER maybe even try Shaun T’s Transform 20, just need quick and dirty these days and something that won’t let my mind start to hate me! Taking the serious break let me crave those workouts again!
I love nights out with great friends! So happy you had a great time!
I have heard that there is an online program through Obe where they do workout videos (live and replay) which you may enjoy. Let me see if I can link to their online program … https://www.obefitness.com/ (let me know if you try it out and like it)!!
Also, I am so excited to read about your recap back at the Great Wolf Lodge! I live close to the GWL in the Wisconsin Dells and have considered making a road trip there when I get a break from work soon! Do you think if some ladies in their mid 20s went together they’d enjoy it? Or is it really kid focused?
I’d say it’s definitely kid focused, but not to say you couldn’t have a good time! I’m not sure if all locations are exactly the same, but the one we go to has a poolside bar/cafe, there’s a restaurant, water slides for adults, wave pools…definitely a good time!
I’m a huge fan of obe fitness if you’re looking to switch things up! They have live streaming workouts that are so fun when you can catch them, and lots of workouts on replay to do on demand whenever you’d like. They have strength, HIIT, circuit, dance cardio, sculpt workouts, and more! They’re not paying me to say any of this, I’m just obsessed! You can use an instructor’s code to get a 7-day free trial and 30% off your first month (KATIE30 is one option).
Hey Courtney! Just getting caught up on your blog and thought I might offer another suggestion since we seem to like the same kind of workouts with emphasis on strength and sanity for moms :) Sydney Cummings on Youtuve is a great resource. She uploads 30-60 minute videos every day at 5 AM. Her energy is great and she really emphasizes total health. She’s just as sweet in person too.
