Tuesday Things.
1. Guys. I’m the lone survivor in a house with the stomach virus and feel like a ticking time bomb. Ever since I became a parent, one of my biggest fears is having that sickness bug start in the middle of the night and then it takes the entire family down. We’re there! This is not what I envisioned with Eddie staying home from work.
2. But it does make me crave this no bake chocolate PB cheesecake. I need it all to myself.
3. However, if I do come out of this without getting sick, I will solely credit my apple cider vinegar habit. It’s legit. Just do it.
4. Definitely agree with the whole “the best way to eat Peeps is to throw them in the trash” belief, unless you use them as s’mores marshmallows. Obviously. It’s that time of year!
5. I was the nutjob in middle school who liked to wake up at 5 or 5:30 in the morning so I could “ease into my day.” At least that’s what my parents called it, and I was the only one awake! I’d make breakfast (an english muffin with PB and honey) and read and maybe watch TV. I love this idea of giving yourself the gift of time.
6. The best TV news this week is that Billions is back! Ahhh I thought it was SO GOOD. We spent a lot of the past two weekends trying to squeeze in the previous seasons’ marathon here and there. Love Axe, Wendy, Taylor… all of it!
7. I listened to the Dropout podcast two weeks ago and it was so good. Super intriguing. Very similar to the show on HBO last night.
8. OMG, yes yes yes: it’s way too easy to accidentally respond to instagram stories. I’ve responded by accident too! All.the.time. I also accidentally screenshot stories constantly.
9. Swear that the Peloton is changing my life, as is Ally Love, and I loved reading about her Sunday routine.

I’m all about easing into the day! When I worked in an office I used to get up early to watch Saved by the Bell reruns before work so I could chill out before going in. Good luck with the stomach flu! Sometimes it doesn’t hit everyone? But the fear is real.
i love that so much!
I’m constantly accidentally voting on polls when trying to scroll through stories and people always seem to put the worst answers on the right-side of the screen where I click so I seem like I’m being the biggest jerk!
YES!!! same!!
I agree about the peeps that they should go in the garbage. I swear different flavored peeps don’t make them better. I have a feeling they glow in the dark. But, with that being said, they do melt beautifully for smores or for hiding in the yard for Easter. I like to use them for decorations since they have a nice shelf life.
Oh and keep your vitamin c up. I swear that helps keep the stomach bug away. Good luck! When mom gets sick it is truly the end of the world. I always feel helpless and the pressure to try to stay afloat to keep trying to sanitize.
The best way to eat peeps is when they are stale! I open the packages after I buy them and eat them about a week later. The peeps become chewier and more interesting!
Yes, if mom gets sick…your on your own…they don’t know how to take care of you. Although I just had surgery for a torn shoulder muscle and they surprised me! I didn’t last too long though. Oh well, I guess I am the nurturing one. ( I love it)
What kind of Peloton do you have? Tell me about it, please.
“”Definitely agree with the whole “the best way to eat Peeps is to throw them in the trash”” YES! they’re the worst.
Billions! yay yay yay!
sorry about the stomach flu bug. awful to have everyone down at the same time. Nothing worse than sick babies.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you re: the stomach bug. I am sure you have heard this, but some people also swear by drinking grape juice? Something about it making your gut a place that is not hospitable to the stomach bug or something like that. Good luck!
Last night accidentally ate a whole pizza and 4 candy bars…accidentally.
I am madly in love with my Peloton too and Ally is one of my favorite instructors (and Jenn Sherman). Now I’m feeling a little guilty that I hit the snooze instead of feeling the hustle in my heart as Ally would say this morning. I’ll have to make up for it tonight so I don’t break my streak!
Yes or Yes! I love Ally Love and I’m obsessed with my peloton!
I’m so glad I ordered the apple cider vinegar that you mentioned, it’s so good, and I haven’t been sick this year either. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0741DRNQT/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
1.) Hang in there! xo
4.) YES! Thank you. I will never understand people who think Peeps are tasty. Blech. Cute? Yes. Palatable? Not to me.
Peloton (just as a digital user) has me in the best shape in YEARS. It’s addicting and fun. We’re obsessed too. I will only do workouts with music I like so I can sing along.
Can you do a post on the peloton why is is so amazing I am on the fence that it would be like another treadmill or gym equipment I wouldn’t use ? Very interesting
hi lauren!!
so i think it prob depends what kinds of workouts you like to do! i knew for me in this stage of life (little kids at home, don’t love any of the gyms or classes near me, etc), that it would be great and get a lot of use. however, if this was 5 years ago and i had more time to spend doing workouts i loved (like 90 mins hot yoga everyday, walking outside, no one else’s schedule to worry about, haha), i don’t think i would use it quite as much!
i also think it depends on if you like to use exercise equipment in your home (eddie and i both do, but i know a lot of people who prefer to leave their house!) and if you like spinning/indoor cycling in general.
i LOVE the classes though. there are so many different instructors/personalities and i think it’s so motivating. it can be challenging if you want it to be (and competitive!) or low impact and enjoyable. i am actually surprised at how MUCH i love it, and definitely didn’t think eddie would use it as much as he does! i also love that it offers all sorts of different classes (strength, yoga, running and more) by different instructors.
i hope this helps. :)
1. Ugh my son is in daycare and I get all the crud he brings home. What is your Apple cider vinegar trick? I need tips!
2. I agree, peeps are the worst!
My husband was interested in the Peleton and brought it up to me as an idea and I told him no because I wasn’t sure we would actually use it, would love to hear more about, maybe I was too hasty in my decision. Also, have you watched The OA on Netflix? Totally addicting. I am mentioning it because we seem to have the same taste in tv shows.
