Gloomy With a Side of Joy

Hello, my peeps! How are you on this dreary Friday? I was not in the best mood when my alarm went off this morning and I saw there was no sunshine outside. If you know me, you know I'm a sunshine kind of gal. Rain is nice for 1-2 days and, most importantly, I don't have to go out into it. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay snuggled in bed with the hubby but the good news is at least I was going to do something fun...YOGA! I was interested to see who would brave the rain to make it to yoga. Answer: all the regular peeps. My morning class at Elevate was a class of 4 regular Tayoga peeps and I decided to use a very old playlist that I had never used in class before. It is different than all other Tayoga playlists because none of the songs contain words. It was a last minute decision to use this playlist instead of the new playlist I made last night because having no words means it is a little more low key usual. I figured it went well with the lack of sunshine. Since it was a diff

Where Have I Been?

Where have I been, you might ask? Unfortunately, no exciting trips to explain my two month hiatus from writing a blog post. Yep... it basically comes down to me being lazy! Or should I blame the fact that I have a one year old? Yes, let's do that. Edison has kept me sooo busy the last 2 months that I have not had a single moment to create a post. ;)   I did have a good excuse last week, since a cold went through the Huff household. I promise it was just a cold and not that darn virus that won't seem to go away. I'm so tired of hearing about it that we should treat it like Voldemort from Harry Potter and call it, "It that shall not be named," or something of the sort. Anyway, I've gone off on a tangent.  Yoga... since that is what this blog is about... What to say about yoga? Hmm... I didn't teach last week, so today was my first day back after my cold and it felt so good. I tried a couple new little quirky moves that I will definitely use again. Since the

Mr. ONEderful

It's pretty crazy to think that Andrew and I have been parents for almost a year! Edison turns the big ONE on September 5th. How did that happen? I think it has flown by, but Andrew says it feels like the kiddo should be 4 years old by now. I roll my eyes because this is coming from the guy who has been sleeping through the night for the past year!  Anyway... it has been a wonderful year full of adventure. Edison is truly Mr. ONEderful and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our little guy. Hopefully, he learns to enjoy yoga (unlike his father). Haha! If not, that's ok, too. Have a ONEderful weekend, my peeps! Namas(tay).

Olympic Time!

In case you haven't heard, I love watching the Olympics! The Summer games are my favorite, especially gymnastics and beach volleyball. Doubles badminton is pretty great too. Come to think of it... I like almost everything! Because I love them so much, I have been staying up far too late watching them. Ugh! Staying up late, having a job, and being a mama to an almost 11 month old is not the best combination, but I love all three, so I tough it out and enjoy! Let's just say my yoga class last Friday was not as intense as usual because Tayoga was feelin' the chiller vibes. Good news, I think everyone appreciated it!  Have a chill week, my friends! Namas(tay).

Perseverence

My first Mommy and Me Yoga class at the Dragonfly-Art for Life was April 16, 2021. Since that date, I have had one mother/daughter pair show up one time. It can be a little disheartening when people don't show up... especially to a free class! I stuck with it, though - Edison and I show up every week (unless we are on vacation of course). I am pleased to report that this last Friday  -3 months after my first class - I had a few more people than normal. 11 more to be exact! It was a bit chaotic, but that's what happens when kids get involved. Oh, what a blast it was! I realize it probably won't be like that every week, but it gave my confidence a little boost and I cannot wait for the next one.   See you there with your kiddo?  Nasmas(tay)   Mommy (or Daddy) and Me Yoga Fridays 11:30am-12pm Dragonfly-Art for Life @ 1210 J Street Can you spot Edison? He is on the move!

Home Sweet Home

You may have already figured it out, but the family and I have been on vacation the last 3 weeks. Well... since we had Edison with us, it was actually a trip rather than a vacation - a road trip to be more precise! That's right! We took a 9 month old on a 3 week road trip and it went pretty darn good, I would have to say. There were a couple bumps in the road but nothing major (whew!). We were gone 22 days, visited 11 cities in 5 states and made tons of good memories. We are home safe and sound. It feels good to be home but it's a little bittersweet. The end of trips always make me a little sad, but getting to sleep in my own bed makes me VERY happy.  Happy hump day, my friends. Namas(tay).
