Hi, friends! Happy Monday and happy National Truffle Day to you! Be sure to stop by your local Lindt Chocolate Shop to receive a complimentary LINDOR truffle! And don’t forget that my May Booty Challenge starts today! I hope you decide to join in!
We had a really nice weekend, so here’s a recap via superlatives!
BEST THING I ATE: It’s a toss up between The Big Island pizza (grilled chicken, smoky bacon, scallions, sweet potatoes, BBQ sauce, pineapple + jack cheese) from Wicked at Legacy Place.
And the S’more Tart from Scarlet Oat Tavern. I loved them both so much, I just can’t pick one!

BEST THING I DRANK: A homemade cocktail made with whipped cream vodka and Zevia Grapefruit Citrus. Mmm!
FAVORITE FAMILY MOMENT: Our Saturday morning Coffee Shack tradition!
We always swing by after CrossFit for iced coffee and donuts.

It’s easily one of my favorite family traditions!
Quinn’s too!
FAVORITE WORKOUT: The Cycle for Friendship spinning event at Legacy Place. It was so fun– full recap coming tomorrow!
LEAST FAVORITE WORKOUT: “Just Don’t Let Go” partner WOD at Salt Shack CrossFit. Ugh, this workout… I’ll never forget it. Since starting CrossFit nearly five years ago, I’ve never once quit a workout, but the thought definitely went through my head a few times during this one. I “only” used 135 pounds, but the barbell holds were brutal, especially in combination with the other exercises. I wanted to quit so badly at times!! Thankfully, my awesome partner got me through it!

BIGGEST FLOP: We took Quinn to see “Barn Babies” at our local library. We thought he would totally love it, but we stayed for mayyyyybbe 5 minutes before he wanted to leave. Ok, then.
The event was actually really crowded, so I think it was just too overwhelming for him. We played in the children’s room for awhile instead.

FAVORITE WARM FUZZY MOMENT: Even though Barn Babies was a bit of a flop, Quinn’s expression when he saw the baby ducklings melted my heart. He was so surprised and happy to see them! “Gee gee.”
FAVORITE LOL MOMENT: Watering the lawn with Q-Man!
Oh my gosh, we had so much fun playing with the hose. We were both soaking wet by the end! Ha!
FAVORITE KITCHEN MOMENT: Making juice with Quinn! He was really into it this time and pretty much put all of the fruits and veggies in himself. (FYI: We have this juicer and LOVE it so much. Full review here. Related: We also have this Ninja blender and also really love it, but it does not make juice. Instead it makes watery smoothies/chunky juice. I get this question all the time, so I thought I’d give you guys the dealio.)

BEST USE OF TIME: Waking up early to get our grocery shopping done for the week!
