TGIF! The last day of the workweek still hasn’t lost its charm. I always look at Friday as the day to set the tone to bring more joy to the weekend. Pre-March, dressing up and heading to happy hour with my girlfriends was a rite of passage (and I miss it!) but these days I blow off steam in my skates and make pizza with my neighbors.

If Sunday is the day to reflect and prepare for the week ahead, Friday’s are for celebrating what you’ve accomplished during the week and kicking-off the weekend. I thought sharing my Friday practice would be a great way to inspire ideas on how we can start the weekend right! Here’s my Friday Practice:

Coffee Out. I start my day getting out of the house with coffee at Alfred. It’s such a treat.

SLB Quick Burn, post-coffee. I have to get moving but with homeschooling my mornings are insane and most days I don’t have time for a full length.

Lunch / Work Outside. Vitamin D and some fresh air is everything.

Sk8! My mom owned Laundromats and growing up I would roll around all day long. Picking them up again during the pandemic has been so much fun and also really great cross-training.

Pizza Friday. We started a tradition of making pizza with our neighbors and it’s so much fun.

Movie Night. Friday is the perfect time for authorized screen time with family and friends. I love watching and introducing Mars to older movies like Little Shop of Horrors.

Sunset & Wine. Fall means the days are shorter, and sunsets come earlier so there's plenty of time to catch one with a glass of wine before bed.
