I want to start this blog post by saying I have exciting news to share! Kevin and I officially sold our house yesterday! That’s right, we closed escrow. It’s definitely a bittersweet moment for us. We’re excited that we sold our house and can move on to something that better suits our family, but we’re sad because this house means so much to us. Anyway, I just wanted to share the good news with you guys since it just happened. I’ll definitely do another blog post soon to share more about the next chapter of our lives and what we have planned! You guys have been such a big part of our lives that we want to fill you in on everything we have going on!
I’m also excited about today’s outfit post! I love all of the outfits that I post here on my blog, but there’s just something extra special about this one! I was actually going to post this pretty floral dress last week when I wore it, but then I went to check the dress online and it was sold out! I was so bummed that I wasn’t gonna get to share with all of you. But something in me today told me to check the dress online again and there it was! Fully in stock! I’m guessing that since it did so well and sold out so quickly the first time they restocked it. And as you as you can see from the reviews on the website other people love the dress too. It’s very flattering, affordable, and easy to throw on. It’s also a dress that can be worn in the Spring, Summer, and Fall! It’s also breastfeeding friendly for those who are curious!
In today’s post I’m wearing it with one of my favorite pairs of boots this season. These boots are just the cutest and go with so many things. You can see me wearing them with jeans HERE and with the cutest sweater dress ever HERE. You guys have probably noticed that I wear them a ton and with a bunch of different kinds of looks. I hope you’re not sick of seeing them because I plan on wearing them all Fall long!
I’ve also been carrying this large satchel a ton recently. Like I said in past blog posts, it’s just really great because it fits absolutely everything I need and still has room leftover! And I love the neutral tone because it goes with everything.
The last piece of this look is my $19 watch. I’m sad to say that this exact watch is sold out. However, a very similar one for the exact same price of $19 is available! I might even like it better than the one I’m wearing in these pics. So I’m sure it’s not surprising to you guys that I went ahead and bought it, so you’ll be seeing it with some of my future looks!
Anyway, I’m at Home and Family today making a DIY baby play/busy board! I teamed up with Paige Hemmis to make it and I think it’s going to come out really cool! You guys can see it on the show tomorrow morning if you tune in. And I’m co-hosting on Friday! That episode will air on Monday so tune in then too! Hope all of you have a wonderful Thursday!

Good luck on your new journey!!

Oh my gosh! Amazing!
Congrats! We just moved into a new house and my daughter (who is the same age as Molly) has completely regressed with her sleeping since. Your cry it out post encouraged me to do the same as I had been in the same boat all long. Will you give us an update on her sleeping and if you’ve dealt with any regression and what you did?
We haven’t dealt with regression at night yet. Only for naps. And we haven’t done anything about it yet. She only naps once a day for 45 mins to an hour.
Congratulations on selling your house! Trust me, I totally get the mixed emotions. We just sold our first home – where we brought both our babies home – and I sobbed during my last moments inside because all I could see were the beautiful memories we created there. Good luck with finding your next home!!
Ugh! This make me so emotional! I know I am going to cry when we leave too!

Thank you Julie. We hope to build more wonderful memories in a new home!
Congratulations, Ali!! What a bittersweet yet exciting time for your family! Wishing you all the best.
Quick question on your super cute satchel – are the handles long enough to wear comfortably on your shoulder?
You can wear it on your shoulders but I don’t find that super comfortable with this bag.
I’m happy for you, Kevin & Molly (Owen, too) on selling your house.
I remember when my 1st home sold….I sat on the floor of the empty house & cried.
I keep the memories close to my heart. I know you will too.
I have the same dress!
it’s so comfy.
Ali what size dress are you wearing? Thank you
So so exciting! We sold our condo in Playa Vista and moved out to the LA burbs (Agoura Hills). The things we do for our kids haha. We have a little boy who shares a birthday with Molly, so we are beyond excited to be able to give him a backyard! Best of luck!

ways to scale and use the modality. 1.5″ just isn’t as taxing on the grip or heavy as the 2″ rope, and the 50ft enable for greater capacity to scale each double and single
rope movements. This is a tremendous compound exercise
that works the back muscles and core muscular tissues like the rectus abdominis to

Do this transfer slowly to really feel your
shoulder muscle tissue work onerous. Robust traps let you raise
extra weight and may give your upper physique a balanced look.
Solely transfer to a different exercise whenever you feel comfy with the first one.
If your movement could be very restricted you should spend several days simply on the primary
exercise earlier than beginning the second exercise.

body, like your arms, legs, chest, and especially your shoulders,
in many ways. Compact cable machines are like the little brother of the massive health
club machines.
Lastly, remember to combine in at least one of the cable again workouts with transverse plane motion like
standing row with twist. Situated underneath the traps they stretch from the backbone to the medial
region of the scapula. This muscle doesn’t get lots of love so
it’s necessary that you simply concentrate on targeting this
muscle using various again workouts and angles discovered below.

have hassle with focusing on muscular tissues like the teres major/minor or the rhomboids.

after shoulder surgical procedure. They discover it easy to arrange and use,
offering the desired outcomes. Nonetheless, opinions differ regarding the build high quality and pulley
high quality. The start place with the battle rope,
whether or not working two handles or single
rope variations, is how we build and scale the movements with the rope.
One of the most common errors with the battle rope is to drag the rope to maximum rigidity firstly.
The weights are labeled, so you know precisely how a lot
you’re lifting. Another advantage is that
cables put more demand on stability during the train, just like whenever you train with dumbbells or barbells.
This could also be better for shoulder well being as you
have interaction the smaller muscle tissue that assist stabilize your shoulder joint.

With a couple of attachments, you’ll find a way to hit each muscle group
in your body. Cables are great for growing dimension, strength,
and stability. Cable exterior rotation targets muscles of the rotator cuff more
specifically and engages the teres minor and infraspinatus.

of the best for building the dimensions, form, and energy of your shoulders.
Some people may experience shoulder impingement while doing upright rows, but you can try
out completely different grip widths and ranges of movement
to forestall that from occurring.

stack for resistance. A cable runs through a series of pulleys and attaches
to handles, bars, or ropes that you grasp to carry out numerous exercises.
Battle rope workouts are whole physique, so your upper physique, decrease physique and core muscles shall be worked.
Fairly a lot every single muscle in your body shall be stimulated when doing battle
rope workouts, together with your core, arms, shoulders,
again, glutes and quads bearing the brunt of the work.

trend to create the waves. With each wave, you do you’ll
step back right into a reverse lunge and alternate on all sides.

out. These three prone shoulder circuits are where I
begin the majority of my athletes who are novices in the weight room.
Each sequence shown beneath will enhance the athletes shoulder mobility and start adding much needed quantity to the shoulders
and full upper back musculature. Nonetheless, if you are
presently experiencing shoulder ache or harm, it is very important
consult with a medical professional before starting any
new exercise program.
There are quite a lot of different workout routines and
variations that may be made to the battle rope to adjust the depth and difficulty of the exercise.
This is useful as beginners and skilled exercisers can each see worth in utilizing the battle ropes.
Moreover, the triceps are focused while extending the arm and are activated whereas using the battle ropes when motioning the ropes down.
The movement ought to be coming from your shoulder as it rotates.
When your shoulder rotates out all the way, maintain the tip place for two seconds, after which slowly return to the beginning position. This shoulder strengthening
train should be carried out for eight to 12 repetitions.
If you expertise any ache with this exercise, stop immediately and seek the advice of
your healthcare supplier or bodily therapist. Accelerate the waves by dashing up the round pattern however attempt to preserve the most important range of
motion potential for the circles. Grip sufficient
to maintain the rope from slipping, but not too much, as a result
of it’ll reduce your performance over time. This limits a client/athlete’s capability to specific drive on the
rope.
Rope circulate engages most of the muscular tissues
in your body, including those in your abdominals,
shoulders, arms, upper and lower back, and decrease body.
Utilizing a protracted tempo eccentric throughout a repetition means growing the time beneath rigidity
and slowing down the portion of the repetition when the muscle is lengthening.
Any shoulder exercise with cables is typically
in the course of the reducing phase. If you’re not already training shoulders 3 occasions per week, I would only perform two of
those exercises (workouts #1 and #2). After 6-8 weeks of training shoulders with 2X/week frequency, you would
strive 3-4 weeks of training shoulders 3X/week. Dumbbells would supply little pressure at the
bottom throughout lateral raises, which is why many individuals favor doing this exercise with cables.
There are several totally different attachments, similar to a rope, straight bar, V bar, and long bar, that you need to use with a cable
machine to focus on completely different areas of every muscle.
Nevertheless, if you want to look more like a muscular athlete,
battle ropes are perfect. With battle ropes, there is appreciable resistance,
so your muscular tissues will be worked as well.
This solely provides to the intensity, and thus, fat burning effect.
If done right, you’ll be burning tons of energy long after your workout is finished.
This is what is called an after burn and battle ropes are unbelievable for attaining this.
Like any exercise, how much fats you burn (or calories you spend) is dependent upon how hard you’re employed.
There are many various ways to use battle ropes that can work in path of different goals.
It can be 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off or 30 seconds on, 15 seconds off.
There are many different sorts of battle rope movements, however the
two main ones you have to master first are the wave and slam.
However, it’s essential to target all of the
deltoid heads for balanced energy and muscle features.
The seal row is a good upper again and entice exercise where you row mendacity
face down on a bench.
After closing your eyes and inhaling deeply, focus
your attention in your shoulders and notice how they really feel.
Stress should be utilized to the rotator cuff, triceps, and tendons
during this train. If you would possibly be in ache or uncomfortable throughout this exercise, avoid it and
consider other activities. It is a really easy exercise that
doesn’t require any special tools.
You wouldn’t need to attach a bar to this as a result of you’re going to limit the amount of rotation you can get through your shoulders, which
is an all-important part of this exercise. I’d either need to compromise
and use a lighter band, or I’d have to stand nearer and start within the midrange of the exercise so I can get in the best place on the finish.
It’s just something you’ve to pay attention to if you’re going
to train at house. If you’re at house, the resistance bands version is a superb face pull various.
