Our Workout Routines

Plus, shirtless photos of where we're at right now physically (eeeek!).

Happy Friday, everybody! Whew. What a week. It felt like I was playing catch up the entire week, with never enough hours in the day to accomplish everything on our to-do list. I had to push a couple of deadlines, which I hate doing, but the truth is we just ran out of daylight. I am looking forward to a much quieter Friday night tonight, especially after the fun chaos of Halloween this year, and then tomorrow it’s back to the chaos as we start getting ready for our son’s 7th birthday on Sunday (nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh?)

Here he was at his 6th birthday party last year with a big, toothless grin:

This time of year is always back to back with weekend engagements, and you know what? I absolutely love it. It’s part of what makes the holidays so wonderful to me: The fleeting moments of time spent with the ones you love the most, knowing that for the rest of the year you will will go about your day without an excuse to get together every other weekend and celebrate.

Also, I feel like when you’re planning a get together or an event, it’s easy to lose track of the days and the week suddenly flies by. Think about it: The day before, you’re preparing and getting everything together for the big day. The day off, you’re scrambling to get last minute things in order, and then the day after you’re cleaning up and getting everything back to normal. That’s three days absolutely gone, and that’s exactly how we felt this week. In short, I can’t believe it’s already Friday!

Speaking of celebrate, did you dress up for Halloween this year? You can see our costumes here, if you want. We pieced them together with things we already had and items purchased, and they came out exactly how we wanted them to. Don’t you love when that happens? I’m already excited about next year!

Lastly, this newsletter was a Substack Featured Publication this week!!! Maybe that’s how you found about us? We’re truly honored to be featured and are having so much fun here. We hope you are, too, and thank you so much for reading.

Okay! Hope you have a great weekend, and here’s the rest of the issue:
