Today, during my workout, I thought about my four year old who runs non-stop just because it’s fun and he loves it and he can. I think children have cracked the code to exercise consistency: Find something FUN. 🤸‍♂️ Find something you LOVE. ❤️ Remember the fact that you CAN exercise is a seriously huge blessing. 🙌 ⠀
⠀
Shout out to @burnbootcamplakenormannc for being that “something” for me. 💪 And to @lomalonelson for being my #BurnSister BFF for liiife! 👯‍♀️ If only there was a video recording of the awkward mayhem that ensued when we tried to get this pic. 🤣🙈

Four-year-olds, man. They are full of the BEST one-liners. 🤣 Just wanted to share a handful of the gems that have come out of Chase's mouth lately. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“We need to drink a lot of water. If we don’t, we will go dead.” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“Mom, I still haven’t tried the sweet little men from Halloween.” (aka Sour Patch Kids)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“Can I be done cleaning up, Buttercup?” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“Can you open my window please? It’s very fresh outside.”⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“Why is it not always the weekend?” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Falls asleep in the car for five whole minutes: "Wow. That was a good nap. A really long one."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“When we are old then we will go to heaven. You and dad will be old first.” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And please share some of your kids' one-liners in the comments as well so we can all laugh together!

You guys know by now that I am an ice cream lover through and through. 🍦 It’s my favorite dessert without a doubt and while I’d like to think there’s nothing better than a simple bowl of ice cream I know for a fact that there is: Ice cream topped with a warm, freshly-baked treat > Plain ice cream.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What do you think is better? A plain bowl of vanilla ice cream or a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with a warm chocolate chip cookie 🍪, a gooey brownie fresh out of the oven or a hot 'n' crumbly apple crisp? 🍏 See what I’m sayin’? There’s something about the contrast of a cold, creamy dessert with a warm sweet treat that lights my taste buds on fire.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you share my love for this hot + cold combo, I have a recipe you must make that will quickly become your next bowl of ice cream's BFF. Hellooo Oatmeal Apple Crisp! 🤩🍎 This recipe is easy to make and only calls for a few simple ingredients: ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Apples (peeled or not… totally your preference but I always leave the peels on because I’m lazy)⁠⠀
Butter⁠⠀
Flour (all purpose is my jam but whole wheat will also work well)⁠⠀
Oats (for chewiness and texture)⁠⠀
Sugar + Brown Sugar (two sugars = twice the fun)⁠⠀
Cinnamon (key for making your kitchen smell ah-maz-ing)⁠⠀
Salt (to help bring out the flavors of the oatmeal apple crisp)⁠⠀
⁠⠀

He’s smiling because he got the only bedroom in our cabin all to himself ☺️ (Oooh the perks of needing a quiet spot for naps and nighttime sleep! 😴💤) — When you guys travel with little ones, how do you handle sleeping arrangements? We’ve done a little bit of everything (all of us in one room, the boys together, separate space for Ryder, etc.) and we have yet to figure out the perfect arrangement! 🤷🏼‍♀️
