Happy Friday!
This post is coming a little later then I would’ve liked but I’m not feeling that great, and Ava has been sick since Wednesday. All my attention and free time has been devoted to her and getting her better.
I feel like we are a healthy family but for some reason when Ava gets sick it’s inevitable I get sick. I’m assuming its because she rubs her face in mine and I have to wipe her snots! I probably don’t get as much sleep as my body needs too. Plus when you are a fitness instructor you don’t get days off when you need them.
Anyways…I have a pretty busy weekend with a bachelorette party, my dad’s birthday, plus labor day so I’m keeping my fingers crossed I’m feeling 100% in the morning.
I have a few favorite things from this past week that I wanted to share with you!
Things I’m loving this week:
Looking back at pictures from our vacation helped me get through this week. I actually had a great week and it felt great to be back to a routine but there was a huge part of me that missed all the quality family time we had over our vacation.
It was so helpful to have Marc around all week and that gave me a huge break from having to do everything for Ava. He’s such a hands on Dad and doesn’t hesitate to do anything and everything with Ava. He makes her laugh more then anyone and I’m truly lucky.
Even though everyone keeps saying summer is over. I’m still enjoying lots of summer foods like BBQ Grilled Chicken and Burgers!
Speaking of chicken… Arcuri’s loads their salads with lots of chicken and I’m pretty sure their house dressing is out of this world!
I’ve been on a plantain kick all week. They are so easy to whip up and they are loaded with healthy vitamins and carbs! What’s not to love 
I’m pretty sure Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter is the best tasting treat in a package ever. I’m glad I didn’t buy the jars because I wouldn’t be able to stop eating it. Thank goodness for perfectly portioned sample packets!
This morning I headed to Green and Tonic once I mustered up some energy to get out. I bought an Ultimate Green Warrior smoothie and it was delicious. Ava even enjoyed some. I also bought a “SHOT” of apple cider vinegar, habanero and ginger. It sounds gross but I was looking for anything to help give me an immunity boost and this worked! It helped clear my up and literally made my eyes open as wide as possible, I think I liked it
Now its time to rest and take care of little Miss Ava.
What are your holiday weekend plans?
Have you ever tried any immunity fighting remedies before?
