Some thoughts and discussions from me.
Friday 5–What I’m Loving Lately
Good morning, my friends 
Lots of things to look forward to this weekend, and lots to love. It’s been a while since I’ve done a “what I’m loving” type post, and I’m feeling particularly grateful today. So why not now?
What I’m Loving Lately:
1. This blanket:
We bought it from Target last week and it’s just so big and warm and purrrrty.
Niko loves it, too! 
2. Robin Thicke’s new song ft. Pharrell: Blurred Lines
Swoon. Ugh. I can’t even. I love me some Robin Thicke. I went through a huge RT phase last spring, and it’s happening again.
3.Why going to the gym is a huge waste of time.
Lulz. Just watch it.
Trust me. (and ouch)
4. Using the wall in yoga class!
The new studio I joined is a little more hands on, and the other day we spent the second half of class working with the wall – with handstands and backbends. I really surprised myself with the handstands! The first time, I was too scared to kick up, and then the second time all of the sudden my feet were up in the air!
side note– whenever I see pictures on peoples’ blogs of themselves in a yoga class, I always wonder how in the heck they got that picture?! In all of the classes I’ve been to, no one has ever even brought in a phone, let alone snap a pic during class.
5. These tamales Shane and I picked up from a farm stand last weekend!
I cooked them last night after getting home from training and they were so delicious. I’m not even really sure what a tamale is (I only had my first one a few weeks ago!) but I know that I love it 
Other things I’m loving: my favorite yoga class of the week is today, I get to hand out with this girl this weekend, we’re having a friend visit this weekend, and hiking on Sunday!
What are you loving this week?
FAMILY.
HUSBAND.
FRIENDS.
Im loving my CHILD UP.
and grateful to live in safety.

Yes, yes, yes!
I love a good, warm blanket any time of year, I need one no matter what when I am curled up on the couch.
Love that song, I just am listening to it – never had heard it before!
I am loving the rain here, finally no more snow!

That blanket is really pretty, and I love tamales! I use to have a student who was originally from Mexico, and his mom would bring in homemade tamales every now then. That was always a good day 🙂

I have pictures from a yoga class but it was because we had a photographer present. She was taking pictures to help promote the yoga instructor, her hands-on approach, and some of her big events that were coming up. Honestly, it was really cool and once you got used to the new “snap snap snap” you forgot the cameras were there. There are some awesome photos from that class.

LOL that gif is hilarious. He was squatting FAR too much weight if he couldn’t get more than a couple of inches down. Oy.

Well, I just love all of these things! And it looks like Niko loves that blanket too. 🙂
I haven’t ever heard that song, but I LOVE me some Pharrell! (And I am listening to the song as I type this- I like it! Trying to figure out if I could work it into spin class – definitely abs…..
I’ve thought the same thing about yoga photos. And dude- you are pretty badass for doing handstands! They terrify me (all the more reason I need to conquer them!)
Love the tamales at the market!! We buy a ton of stuff on the last market day and fill our deep freeze.

Definitely loving these things too, and I’m obsessedddd with Robin Thicke! I own all his CD’s. His voice melts my heart a little bit;)
This week (besides the obvious stuff I love), I’m loving coconut butter (when am I not, though), kabocha, spring time, smoothies, and my pup.
Haha, that gif is awesome. I’d really like to see that actually happen at the gym.
Happy Friday!

I was going to say – coconut butter isn’t obvious for you?! 😛 I think it goes unsaid for both of us 😉
Wall work in yoga is my favorite! I also really love your blanket 🙂

Mmm, I love tamales! I’ve always wanted to make them, but haven’t ventured to the right markets to get the necessary supplies. Someday!
Love that blanket! I am a big fan of herringbone!

i’ve never had a tamale before! i feel like i’m missing out haha – but i did see them at the WF hot bar last weekend and was prettttty intrigued! that new song is pretty catchy! i like the vibe – it kind of reminds me of the new justin timberlake soundtrack

I never understand how people get half the workout photos they do – personal entourage? 😉
