Thank goodness it’s ALMOST Friday, friends! I am currently in Birthday party mode for the weekend.  My youngest daughter Ayden is turning the big 2!!  I will share some party pictures with you all soon!  Okay, back to this post now…it’s all about the One Teaspoon Bandit Shorts & this AMAZING top.  I almost peed my pants when I saw that these shorts were stocked in 19 different colors!  Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.  They come up a little higher in the front and then go back down to cover your bum.  I’m all about the classy look, and I wouldn’t wear these if I felt they didn’t offer enough coverage.  I credit these shorts for making my legs look toned.  😉 And this top, the pretty eyelet details makes this top not so basic, but simple enough to pair with so many different bottom options.

Flipping through this week with a thankful heart!  It was so nice spending extra time with friends and family over the holiday weekend, but MAN do I have trouble getting back into a workout routine.  Ya know they say you shouldn’t take days off, but I could have sworn my gym was closed on the weekends. ??

Most mornings you will find me at the gym (LifeTime Fitness) with no makeup, my hair in a messy bun & if you’re lucky I’ve remembered to brush my teeth. ?? (Joking, I at least do that). The nice thing about my morning routine is child care ????  provided by LT Fitness & the amazing classes and instructors who truly care about your health and well being.  Now, I will tell ya that during the workout you may feel differently, because it’s usually pretty brutal.  haha… Anyway, having workout wear that is comfortable for all-day and is also functional for actual exercise is REALLY important to me!

I have had a lot of questions as to what I wear to workout in, so I decided to do a two-part series on workout wear! ????

It’s been raining in KC most of this week, so we’ve had a lot of time to play inside as a family.  Playing inside with littles can be…draining.  I wanted to share some thoughts on making it through motherhood and of course some fun and flattering outfits to go along with the craziness!  Please bring your sense of humor as you continue reading!
