NEW YEAR, NEW ADVENTURES...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes, I realize that I’m a teeny bit late, but seeing as this is my first post for 2012, I thought it necessary to say!

For the New Year Kyle and I decided to make a resolution together, and I’m pretty in love with the idea! Our goal for 2012 is to try at least one new thing every month. It can be a new food or restaurant, a new activity, or anything else we can come up with. We realized that we’ve been so busy with school and work, that we haven’t really given ourselves the chance to experience Louisville and life in general. So, we are working on changing that, and are planning our new adventures for the upcoming months.

For our “January New Thing” we went tubing at Paoli Peaks in Paoli, Indiana. We bundled ourselves up and made the hour and a half trip north with my sister and a few of my cousins for night time tubing. And we had a BLAST!

I have to admit that I was a little nervous at first, but after a few times down the hills, I was a pro (not that there’s anything too difficult about sitting on a tube and sliding down a hill though, right?). Eventually I got brave enough to go down on my stomach and once even went down on my stomach with no hands—such a risk taker I am!

We had so much fun and decided that our “January New Thing” was a success! Now, on to February—which by the way, I already have planned! But I can’t share it with you just yet. I’m going to surprise Tilton. And I have a feeling he is going to love it!

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...
