My Go-To Travel Workout

When I'm out of town, it's usually to visit family or friends with my husband and son. There's not normally much time or opportunity to scope out a gym to drop into, so I usually create my own workouts to do while I'm away. As I've mentioned before, I always have this jump rope on hand, and that makes it super easy to get a quick burn in wherever I may be! 

5 Rounds for Time of:

50 Double Unders (or sub 100 singles)

Sprint 200 meters

25 Push-Ups (or sub push-ups from the knee)

50 Air Squats

If you aren't quite sure what 200 meters looks like (I usually can't tell!), we just used a long driveway that we were staying at and sprinted that. You could also run in place as fast as possible for 1 minute if there's not room or the weather isn't nice enough to run outside. 

What is your favorite on-the-go workout?

My Cinderella Shoes

I was looking back on our wedding photos and was reminded of how much I loved my wedding shoes--and since it's Shoesday Tuesday, I figured why not share with y'all. ;) We had a winter wedding, so our colors were black, white and silver, and when I saw these shoes I knew they were the ones! Of course, I haven't worn them since then because I haven't had a reason to get that dressed up again, but I am dying to put together an outfit they will go with. Since these are a couple years old, I wanted to link a few similar choices for y'all. If you're in the market for some fancy shoes, no matter what the occasion, Antonio Melani always has some fabulous choices!

Chilly Spring Day Look

April seems to be the month of birthdays for us! We have been to 3 parties so far this month, and we still have Ian's first birthday party coming up on the 23rd (how is my baby going to be one?!). This past weekend was a bit chillier than I thought it would be, so I pulled this outfit together for Saturday.

I have been trying out some different brands of tee's, and I have to say I love this one (I'll be sharing more on my favorite basic tees soon, so stay tuned). This tee is only $19.50 (+ free shipping if you get it from Nordstrom), and it comes in 9 colors. I went with this color because it is huge this season and can go with so many different pieces, but I have a feeling I'll be headed back for more colors soon. This Free People tote is also a new favorite of mine. It's reversible and comes with a small zipper pouch and a large zipper pouch inside of it, which makes it easier to organize. I love that when fall/winter rolls around, I can switch it back to the black side if I want. There are 9 other colors available in this tote as well, so make sure you check them all out! :)
