Lemme tell you, the way this blended pistachio matcha latte has a GRIP on me is unreal! ✨💕🍵 It’s sweet, nutty and super smooth — definitely the perfect summer drink for all the matcha girlies out there 

I don’t usually blend matcha in a blender but it works perfectly for this recipe

All you need are:
✨ 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha 
✨ 1 heaping tbsp pistachio butter 
✨ 1 cup pistachio milk 
✨ (optional) 1 serving collagen peptides 

Blend until smooth and pour over ice 🫶🏼

Let me know if you’ll be trying this!!

It’s #nationalrescuedogday so of COURSE I had to show off my two cutie furbabies 🐾

Both came from rough backgrounds — Nina’s previous owner tried to throw her off a bridge in Florida and Chip comes from a massive dog hoarding case in Tennessee. They’ve both known nothing but love since entering our home years ago 🫶🏼

Nina has been doing yoga with me for 12 years  and as Chip is FINALLY starting to show more interest in getting involved 🥹

So here’s a little glimpse at our very short 15 min practice… which feels extra special because quality time is limited with a new baby around 💕

#FordAmbassador Who else finds driving on the high
#FordAmbassador Who else finds driving on the highway stressful? 🙋🏻‍♀️It’s definitely my least favorite part about driving here in Denver but so necessary because I love bopping around to different restaurants, parks and fitness studios around the city. 

That’s why I LOVE that my 2025 Ford Explorer® SUV has the available @Ford #BlueCruise which offers hands-free driving on 97% of controlled access highways in areas called hands-free Blue Zones across the U.S. and Canada. 👏🏻 

It helps me change lanes with Lane Change Assist and an advanced infrared driver-facing camera to track eye gaze and head position to ensure I’m paying attention to the road while driving hands -free. 

It really helps make driving less stressful in times like this morning when I’m headed to a yoga class in north Denver. Just one of many reasons why I love my Ford Explorer! 🤍

Available feature on BlueCruise-equipped vehicles. BlueCruise requires a Connected Services plan and modem activation. BlueCruise driver-assist features can be activated in hands-free Blue Zones and do not replace safe driving and driver’s need to control the vehicle. See ford.com/bluecruise for more details on available plans and hands-free models. 2025 Ford Explorer® ST SUV shown with optional equipment.

Having a winter baby made picking out her little beach outfits one of my fav parts of taking her to Florida… and then we forgot to record some of the cutest ones because #mombrain is so real 😅☀️💕

Finishing up 12 wonderful days in Florida and our very first beach vacation with our 5 month old ☀️🌊🌴 

It was so incredibly special to show Lily the beach where I grew up and spend time with lots of family and friends 🥹

We were really nervous about traveling with such a young baby but honestly it was so much more seamless than expected and I think it helped that we were a bit over prepared 😅 (yes I did pack her @babybrezza in our luggage and the @doonausa travel stroller 100% lives up to the hype lol) 

Other things we brought for her that made things easier and I highly recommend: 

✨ @uppababy pack and play (just check this as another piece of luggage) 
✨ @hatchforbabysleep rest and go sound machines 
✨ mini fan for stroller 
✨ @babymoov_usa baby tent for beach 
✨ over the door shoe organizer to hold/organize all baby clothes 
✨ a couple baby carriers (we love @mabecarriers @babytula and @wildbird) 
✨ @magicsleepsuit of course 
✨ @get_nanit baby monitor (packed in travel case) 

Of course you don’t need all/any of the above!! I’m just sharing what worked for us ☺️

Our mornings looked like some variation of what you see here with a few sunrise walks and coffee runs mixed in. And now it’s time to head back home with a luggage full of dirty laundry and a camera full of 10,000 pictures & videos 💕

I’m back with another way to #romanticizeroutine
I’m back with another way to #romanticizeroutines and this time I invited my mom over for a wholesome #crafternoon just in time for Mother’s Day! 

I made the most scrumptious snack plate using my favorite cookies and crackers by @snackbacktonature! They’re basically better-for-you versions of your childhood classic snacks and I love that they don’t have any artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. (Look for their new packaging at a retailer near you!) 

My mom is now officially hooked on the PB Creme cookies and I know you will be too

My baby girl joined us to create handprints so that we could add them to our painted wooden frames and they turned out sooo cute!!

My mom and I haven’t crafted together since I was a little girl so this was such a wholesome moment and the perfect way to celebrate our first Mother’s Day as a mom and grandma.

Honestly I can’t think of a better way to start the day than with a sunrise walk, light yoga in the sand and ocean dip ☀️

What a reminder of how BEAUTIFUL this life can be if only we take a moment to look around and notice 🌴🌺 🌊
