Who else’s baby only wants standing cuddles? 😅 Ana is the real MVP though because most of the time she can soothe Sofia pretty easily ❤️ Caring for a newborn is not easy but every moment with this precious little baby is so wholesome and I feel so lucky to be her dad 🙏

What’s your go to meal when you don’t have time to cook anything? I love these inside out salads 🤤 Sofia has NOT been a fan of naps this week so we’ve been eating a lot of quick and easy low carb meals like this! Despite being fussy during the day we have been blessed with a baby who loves sleeping at night so let’s hope that trend continues 🙏

Toss them in ice water, drain well. (The ice water is optional but it helps prevent them from browning in the oven) Mix with olive oil, salt, pepper & garlic powder. Add to a baking sheet face down on parchment paper. Pro tip: SMASH THEM FOR AN EXTRA CRISPY VERSION! Bake for 25 mins. Take them out, grate some parmesan on top & broil for 1-2 mins.

Say “YES” if you were expecting to see an exercise that targets belly fat!! 🤣 The truth is… you can’t target fat loss. 😢 If you want to burn belly fat, you have to fix your eating habits! 😑 Lifting weights will also help and so can cardio 👍
