Happy first day of spring from Sadie!
Sadie and I had quite the intense backyard play session last night. Ryan went golfing with coworkers after work, so I made sure to send him a plethora of picture texts of Sadie to help hammer home the point that the 10,000 rounds of fetch Sadie and I played together can only mean one thing: I am slowly inching closer to the coveted spot as her favorite. (Mommy 2014!)
Today
I hope you guys are doing well today! Ryan has been a little under the weather since Sunday and this morning I woke up with a slightly sore throat. I rarely get sick (knock on wood), so I am hoping this passes quickly. Ryan and I always say that he gets a little sick and passes it to me, causing me to get a little sick, and then I pass it back to him and he gets really sick. I’m hoping that pattern won’t repeat itself! I want to enjoy a healthy weekend!
We skipped the gym this morning in favor of sleeping in which was a glorious decision. I may try to sneak in a workout after I teach TRX, but I have a lovely lady doctor appointment on the agenda in the early afternoon, so time will be tight. Perhaps an evening Ballet Beautiful session at home will be today’s workout instead?
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was prepared last night.
Overnight oats topped with slivered almonds filled me up!
Now I’m heading out the door to teach.
Have a great Thursday!

We are finally supposed to have nice weather here in St. Louis today! Itz about time! You better believe I’ll be spending lots of time outdoors!
I’m always vying to be the favorite dog parent too (though I’m pretty sure I already am)! I just got over a cold and I’ve discovered that Airborne is amazing for shortening colds so they go away really quickly. Hope you can hold off getting sick!
I’m sure little Sadie girl is excited about the spring weather but not so excited about the thunderstorms to come.:(
Getting sick before the weekend is the worst! I’d rather get sick on a day I have class ;)!
Ahh, I completely forgot today was the first day of spring today! Well that makes this Thursday start off on a brighter note 🙂
Random thing to try for a sore throat: sprinkle freshly ground sea salt on your tonsils and let it sit there for 30-60 seconds then rinse/spit. It is supposed to kill the sore throat germs. I’ve done it when I start to get one and it really helps!
Sadie is so adorable!!!
And I have yet to try your overnight oats recipe – it always looks so good!
I always get a little sick and then it miraculously disappears – hope that happens to you guys! Enjoy the weekend. 🙂
I think this is the week for people getting sick! I’ve been feeling awful the last couple of days, and I know a couple of people feeling this way too! Hope you feel better! Lots Vit C, water, sleep, and of course a sadie play time definitively leaves you feeling better! Love her faces!
I’ve noticed a ton of people getting sick around here, too. Hope it doesn’t last!
Haha I love the competition to be Sadie’s favorite! My brother and his wife have a golden retriever and my brother is most definitely her favorite, I think dogs tend to look to males as their leader?
Ugh that is never a good feeling to wake up with a sore throat!!! It was a good decision to sleep! Hope it goes away quickly!
Once I get a dog I feel like it’ll be a constant battle of who the favorite parent is haha glad you are in the favorite spot 😉
Yay!! Happy Spring to you 🙂 Aw, I just love that picture of Sadie, it just shows her personality well. Hopefully it’s just allergies!! I’ve been feeling like I might be getting a cold lately, and I rarely get sick, but I always feel this way around this time, and it’s always allergies.
Maybe it’s just spring allergies? I”ve noticed mine starting to creep up- blah!
PS, I feel ya, Sadie, girl, hooray for spring! (minus the allergies ;))
Golfing and playing outside sounds so nice! I wish Denver would hurry up with the nice temps! We’re getting there slowly but surely.
Allergies maybe? It is the first day of Spring after all! I’m always teasing my boyfriend about being the favorite puppy parent – we send each other bragging photos of puppy love all the time. 😉
The favorite dog parent is pretty opposite in our house. When we adopted our English Setter, Lando, we picked him up in Tennessee and had to drive back up to northern PA. Since Ryan does 99% of the highway driving I got 6 hours of bonding time and now Lando never leaves my side. When I have to travel he keeps Ryan company but constantly looks for me to be walking through the door. He may have a favorite but he sure loves us both and that’s what matters most! 🙂
Happy first day of Spring! Lucky us….it’s snowing outside! Again.
Hope you and Ryan feel better by this evening…lots of Vitamin C and the extra sleep was totally a good call! 🙂
Wow, I didn’t even realize it was the first day of spring – I hope Mother Nature knows.
Does Ryan stay home on those “a little sick” or still go to work? I’ve found that staying in can make a difference in whether I feel better or get worse.
Happy first day of spring! I’m soo excited for some sunshine and nice weather!
We woke up to a dusting of snow this morning…how’s that OK on the first day of spring? At least as the day goes on we’re supposed to get to a huh of 50 and 57 tomorrow before cooling down again. Oh chicago…lol
We have sunshine today, which is great since this winter I hardly saw the sun! 🙂 Can’t wait to get out side and soak in the raise!
Sure doesn’t feel like the first day of Spring here, woke up to snow again! I have a half marathon on Saturday and the forecast just keeps getting worse and worse.
Hope you don’t get sick. Take some rest time!
Our first day of spring is filled with snow and wind. Not really how I imagined it 😉
I love everything about that first picture. If you are ever in Minnesota and need a dog sitter I would like to volunteer. lol
Yay spring! It’s also International Happiness Day. 🙂
That’s a day to celebrate for sure!! 🙂
That’s so funny that you and Ryan pass it back and forth to each other – hope this time around you break the cycle 🙂 Sounds like sleeping in was what you needed!
Ugh everyone has been getting sick! I also have been not feeling 100% and my birthday is this weekend! I hope I feel better before it 🙂
How in the world did you manage to snap that cute picture? That is just adorable! I really need to try those overnight oats!
I was actually standing behind her and she looked up at me when I snapped it! I have about 20 failed attempts though. 🙂
Ugh, I hope you two feel better soon! I’m just getting over a stomach virus myself. Being sick is definitely NO fun!
Everyone in my office has been sick for the past few weeks, so I’m hoping I can stay healthy. I haven’t been sick for three years… so I might be due! I, too, tend to fight off most sicknesses but pass them on to my husband who isn’t so lucky.
And I love this post! I wrote one just like it with my sweet pup Knox and then was pleasantly surprised to see Sadie enjoying the Spring weather, as well. 🙂
I think you are well on your way to being Sadie’s favorite. 🙂 I’ve been eating overnight oats everyday day lately!
YAY spring! Although I live in a place that’s basically always spring haha so I can’t really talk (San Diego). 🙂
Shoe question — any recommendations for a shoe to use for just regular gym sessions (fitness classes, elliptical, incline treadmill walking, weight training)? I have beloved running shoes, but want to get a new pair just for non-running activities. Ideas?
I honestly loveeee my Reebok ZQuicks as a “all purpose” gym shoe. They are supportive enough for walking/running but they have a lower profile than typical running shoes so they’re fabulous for exercises that require more stability (functional movements). Love them!
Perfect, thanks!!
Sadie is so adorable. I know all about the 10,000 rounds of fetch. We have a steep hillside in our yard that leads to another level of grass, so I always start at the front of the house, send the ball over the hillside and wait for Goose (our vizsla) to come back. It’s great because he has to run the whole way down the yard, down the hill and back up. Tires him out pretty quick. It’s amazing how much energy they have!
Oh my gosh I love the name Goose!! Too cute.
Happy 1st day of spring to you too! I’m wearing a maxi dress and flip flops! Kindaaaaa lovin’ it.
Sending you lots of healthy vibes!
Yayy for the first day of spring!! This past semester I have inevitably been kind of sick. Being in a sorority we tend to pass our sickness around. Most of the time I can avoid it for awhile, but it always reaches me. The past two weeks our chapter spent a lot of time together preparing for Greek Sing, so it seemed like we all had some form of sickness especially those two weeks. Sick season needs to pack up and leave.
seriously, cram as much ginger into your smoothie as possible. i just throw a good 1.5″ chunk in there when i’m feeling sick and it zaps whatever 1st symptoms away!
Happy first day of spring! I need some overnight oats in my life
I tried the ballet beautiful workout after you mentioned it. Holy burning! How does she stay so calm throughout it?!?
