Hi, guys! Happy FRIDAY to you! Did this week fly by for anyone else? It was a bit of a whirlwind for me, but I’m not complaining. I’m glad that it’s just about over and done with. I missed my family more than usual this week, and I’m very much looking forward to some quality time with them. And, ok, a big glass of wine on the couch. So, it’s Friday and you know what that means! It’s time for the next edition of What I’m Loving Lately. Hey, we hit triple digits! 🙂 Enjoy!

Working Hands Hand Cream – My hands have been so dry this winter – much worse than previous years. Maybe I need to drink more water? More healthy fats? I also think the chalk at CrossFit does a number on my hands. Anyway, I started using Mal’s hand cream and it works wonders in just a couple of days!

The New Midlife Crisis – This article was spot on. It’s a little long, but definitely made me feel less crazy knowing other women my age are experiencing some of the same issues, stressors, and feelings.

The Low-FODMAP Diet Step by Step Kate Scarlata is an amazing dietitian, especially with regard to digestive issues – more so for IBS, but her work can definitely help IBD folks too. If you don’t follow her blog/newsletter and social media, make sure you do! She’s a wealth of information, and she just published a new cookbook. She recently sent me a copy (review and giveaway coming soon), and I love so many of the recipes already. I can’t wait to dive in more! 🙂

Natural Diet is Key to Preventing, Reversing Crohn’s in Children, Israeli Expert Says– A lot of interesting info in this piece, including: “we’re too focused on targeting the immune system instead of the bacteria which stimulates the immune system.”

New workout gear from Four Athletics – I’ve heard about their fitness apparel on a number of my favorite podcasts/blogs, so I was really excited to see what it was all about firsthand. Verdict: AMAZING! It’s high-quality, fits well, and super cute. I want their Rise-Up Leggings and Sol Tank Top in EVERY color. I can’t wait to order more and add to my collection! 🙂

Post Malone – Maybe I’m late to party with Post Malone, but his music is awesome. I’ve been listening non-stop lately. If you haven’t heard of him, definitely give him a whirl!

Play sand – This stuff is endless hours of fun! It’s definitely a new favorite in our house. Pro tip: Have your kiddo play with it on top of wax paper on a large baking sheet for easy clean up.

Fiber Is Good for You. Now Scientists May Know Why. – This was such an interesting article and all the more reason to FEED your gut!

Nike Sportswear Women’s Knit Jacket– This jacket is ON SALE FOR $67! People ask me all the time about it, so just had to share again. I often wear it during the warm-up at CrossFit, but I also like wearing it as an extra layer under my winter or rain coat. I’m also loving this Nike Tech Fleece Windrunner. It comes in 4 colors – super cute!

Lego Batman Stand Up Edible Cake Toppers– I’m not sure where Quinn got the idea, but he asked me if we could make cupcakes together. The kid doesn’t eat/like most foods, so when he asked to do some baking, I was allllll about it. I even ordered some Lego Batman Cake Toppers to make our baking activity even more fun. They were a huge hit and our cupcakes turned out great!
