HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I hope you had a wonderful February 14th, and I hope that you got to spend some time with someone that you love!  I was VERY lucky because I was able to spend my Valentine’s evening with my TWO loves!
Since Tilton and I have been together (we celebrated our 7th Valentine’s Day this year), we’ve always been sure to make Valentine’s Day simply about spending time together.  We’ve never made a big deal about gifts, and if gifts are exchanged, they’re simple and more about the gesture or the thought, rather than spending a lot of money.  And this year was no exception!
Since the very first Valentine’s Day that we spent together, I’ve always made Tilton homemade Rice Krispie treats, which are one of his favorite things.  I’ve started a tradition of making them for him and his Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without them.  But these are no ordinary Rice Krispie treats.  They're extra special because I make them heart-shaped! Awe!  This year I decided to get a little crazy, and made half of them with strawberry marshmallows, which I have to say is quite delicious!
I used one of my Pinterest craft discoveries for the second part of his gift, although it’s more like a gift for the both of us.  I made this adorable love note frame (adapted from this tutorial), modified in my own way of course.  I love the idea of this, because it allows us to leave sweet little love notes for each other!  That way we can remind each other how in love we are 365 days a year!
And for my surprise… Tilton sent me these at work!
Aren’t they so pretty????  I love that he surprised me at work.  I love that he picked tulips.  And let’s just be honest… I LOVE HIM!! 

How did you spend your Valentine’s Day??

Until next time…

Easy-Peasy Teacher Appreciation Gifts

My little bits just finished up her first year of preschool (PS1) last week, and just started her second year (PS2) this week.  Her first year at her school was nothing short of amazing, and I'm so happy with our decision to start her in the program last August.  Her teachers for PS1 were the best, so I wanted to give them a little something to show our appreciation and gratitude for all of the love, time, and patience they poured into our girl over the past 12 months.  I wanted to keep it simple, and give them something that they could appreciate and actually use, and eventually decided on a small succulent arrangement and a Starbucks gift card.  Because who isn't obsessed with succulents and coffee  right now always?!? I put the succulent arrangements together myself, and I love the way they turned out!  I picked up the white planters at Hobby Lobby for around $5 each.  The succulents came from Home Depot (their selection was HUGE) and ranged in...

Foodie Friday: Carrot Cake Gone Clean

I think I’ve just died and gone to carrot cake heaven! And the best part? I get to devour this entire plate guilt-free, because it’s clean and on my nutrition plan! HELLLLLLS YEAH!    A fellow fitness coach friend of mine shared this yummy recipe in our virtual fit group, and I can't get enough of it!  It's clean, healthy, and oh so simple, which makes it perfect for a delicious pre- or post-workout snack.  It's packed with veggies, protein, and healthy carbs, so all of your macros are covered.  And BONUS... You can make it into muffins for a quick grab-n-go option!  Just when I think this plan can’t get any better, I come across treats like this one that change the game!  And t hat’s what I LOVE about most about my business and these fit groups--Not only can I  count on my ladies for support and encouragement, but it offers us a place to swap healthy recipes and share tips and tricks to stay on track.  Basically, what I'm trying to sa...

My Two and a Half Year Blogging Hiatus

Hey there!  It's been a while since my last post--two and a half years, but who's counting?  As it often does, life got a little crazy, and blogging got pushed to the back burner.  But I've recently had an itch to start writing again. So here I am. I've missed it. And a lot has changed in our lives since I last wrote.  So let me bring you up to speed... I got a promotion at work, and am now the pharmacy manager of a local retail pharmacy. My husband is working to make his dream of being a full-time photographer a reality.  He's insanely talented, and the fact that he's completely self-taught amazes me! You can check out some of his work HERE . I've taken up photography as well, under my hunky husband's guidance, and I now photograph weddings alongside him.   Our beautiful mess of a daughter is THREE years old (where did that time go???).  She is incredible, and smart, and funny, and her zest for life is inspiring. We added a fur-bab...
