It helps strengthen the pelvic floor, back and stomach muscles. It helps to stabilize the spine and pelvic floor, while training coordination and balance. I used it here when I was pregnant with Levi.
There’s so many ways that this ring was aptly named “the magic circle!” It can be used between your knees, legs, and arms.
New gear! I love my lululemon align leggings, tank and vest! It’s been 40’s here in SoCal in the mornings, so a vest is appropriate for running errands. And the lululemon logo is on the hood of the vest, super cute!
Everything! Mine has keys, wallet, snacks, water bottle, receipts, and change of clothing in it. It wipes clean and makes a great gift. I call it my mom slash gym bag.
Yes! Light support and lots of comfort. I prefer the violet verbena color.

It is Monday and I’m reaching for my medium sized almond milk latte! Loving these boots from Vince Camuto! They’re slouchy and perfect over boots or leggings. Have a great day.

Gifts for our tweens can be a tough one. That’s why I’ve put together a quick go-to gift guide for your tween, either boy or girl. I’ve picked a couple of fun items and some practical ideas like graphic tees, games, puzzles and Lego’s. I’m especially excited about the Rowan subscription box. Your tween will receive a package once a month to open every month! Use code Shalice15 for 15% off your subscription. How exciting is that? My girls feel so special when their packages arrive with new earrings and girly surprises. It’s like stretching the Christmas gift throughout the entire year. We all really need that after this past year. I hope my gift guide inspires some ideas for you. More to come!
With the short days and long cold nights we have a rekindled joy for our fire pit. We turn off devices and screens. Fill our mugs with hot chocolate and grab a warm blanket. With the fire crackling we curl up together and talk. Yes. Just talk. So simply right! We’ve found the time really special and now the kids want to do a fire every night. (Unfortunately, we need to restock our wood)
I’ve linked a few cozy fire pit picks for your cool outdoor nights. I like the modern geometric shapes juxtaposed with the rustic alpaca throws and rugged wooden trunk stool. Which one is your favorite? Mix and match as you please, but I did put some thought into the pairings.
Here’s a fire pit tip from Reid. We use a quick start fire starter to get the fire going strong.

I’m almost afraid of installing blackout shades. There’s a probability I may never wake up!! LOL.
Window treatments are a tough design element to get right. Especially when your design aesthetic is minimal and modern. The key to minimal design is to reduce the busy appearance of lines as much as possible. Therefore, I do not recommend mini-blinds, vertical blinds or roman shades. To modernize our windows and maintain the modern look of our bedroom and master bathroom, we chose black-out shades. However, these are not the old roller shades you grew up with. We chose remote controlled motorized shades.
When ordering your shades, go to e-Bopp. Study the type of shade you need, black out/light diffuser or solar shade. You will also select the fabric and mounting colors. You may order samples as well. Depending on the type of window you have, you will then select an inside mount which installs the shade inside the existing window frame or an outside mount which will be installed on the wall or ceiling. The measurement will be different, so make this decision before ordering. Fortunately, the customer service at e-Bopp is personal and you can send them a picture and they will identify the exact measurements needed for the window, for you. We really recommend reaching out to them before you finalize your order. They always say measure twice!
Our experience with e-Bopp was beyond helpful. They answered our questions as needed and now that we have the shades installed we can sleep much better! They are made in the USA as well! Think of it as a great present for your home. See the below discount code for my readers.

We’d all agree, this year is not a conventional one. Who knew that we’d all be working and schooling at home simultaneously? You can only guess what is top of our wish list this year? You guessed it. Noise canceling headphones. It has been challenging to say the least, to concentrate on work when the kids are asking you where their reading books are, can you cut an apple, and can they eat their Christmas cookies. Distractions aplenty. Nod if you agree.
Enter the noise canceling headphones!! A mom’s best friend. Well, headphones, and coffee and a chair outside quiet alone. A girl can dream right?
Reid wanted ear buds for his garage workouts, so I went with the best. Bose! The sound quality is unparalleled so I felt like it was worth the splurge, it came with a limited time warranty, was certified refurbished and was competitively priced.
What are you waiting for? Shop now to get the gifts here on time. I rounded some additional gift ideas below.

Reid and I both looked at each other and said “wow did this arrive on time!” Let’s be honest. We are spending record amounts of time at home, and we are tired and running out of creative ways to keep the kids off screens and devices. Enter the Kiwico crates! They are genius ways to keep your kids busy with educational kits.
You can search by age, how easy is that? We were surprised to see that they have crates for ages 2 to 12+. Levi even got one and felt special being included. Atalie got a walking robot, Kate the spin art, Mathias the infinity mirror, Brooks kaleidoscope and Levi got a mail delivery crate. VERY exciting and fun activities for kids bored at home!
Bonus: we had our kids write about their activity, how it worked and why it worked. Check, science is done my friends.
Their favorite part was how hands on it was, creating their craft independently and playing with it afterwards. Atalie’s walking robot was a huge hit!

Yes! Perfect for any child, niece or nephew in your life! Just shop by age. Here’s my link for 50% off!

It’s so important to have quality pieces to workout in. You can sweat, run, and still look cute in these lululemon pieces. I get a lot of questions about this bag. Its the perfect gym slash mom bag. pair it with the running belt, flattering leggings and this tank on repeat.
We’ve been spending lots of mornings at the home garage gym. Here’s what I’ve been doing in addition to crunches:
Try doing the following four times: a wall sit, a wall sit with reach, a hollow body hold, and a Superman position for 30 seconds each, followed by 30 seconds of rest after all of them.
Try doing 15 air squats, 20 lateral bounds, and a bear crawl five times to one side, then five times to the other, repeating the series for seven minutes.
I feel happier and more fit with little spurts of working out. Now, its your turn, how do you stay active?
