Friday Faves- Feb 15th

February 15, 2013




Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day yesterday!  And if plan to celebrate tonight or this weekend, check out my post with 4 different V-day inspired looks for some inspiration!  And now that it is officially Friday, Feb 15th, that means two things: 1- V-day themed candy, decor, etc. is officially on clearance- woo hoo! and 2- it’s time for my Friday Faves! :-)

1.  Wash. rinse. repeat.  I’ve been slacking on laundry this week so I’ve got a ton to do tonight before my husband and I head to visit my parents this weekend!  (PS- my handy husband made a platform pedestal type setup so that the washer & dryer were at a comfortable height.  Love it and MUCH cheaper than buying the pedestals at the store!)
2.  I’ve got a set of Hoops & Yoyo sticky notes that I keep at my desk at work.  These two characters are hilarious and it’s fun to leave little notes for coworkers on these…especially when they say things like “Please don’t interrupt me unless you’re offering to buy me coffee. Or donuts. Or both.”
3.  Made a little surf and turf over the weekend.  SOOO good and nice to switch it up since we usually do chicken or ground beef for dinners throughout the week.
4.  I don’t think Izzy has enough bones to play with….it’s just so exhausting!  (Good thing she has a Barkbox coming!)
5.  I needed to mix up my workouts (getting a little tired of Jillian DVDs and the treadmill) so I hit the gym for a BodyPump and BodyCombat class.  Back to back.  Let me just say, I’m still sore and it’s been two days since the class.  Owwwww!
6.  Nothing says love like his and hers cupcakes!  I was so excited to finally get some treats from the local cupcake shop called Sweet Discoveries!  So good!  Their Facebook page has photos of their stuff…they were recently featured on the national news for their stadium cake…it’s insane!

And in honor of (casual) Friday, here is a comfy outfit I wore recently after our monster snowstorm.  So warm and snuggly!

    I haven’t been to a step class in ages; I remember it was a lot of fun! Thanks for the reminder.

      Thanks so much! Yeah I haven’t been to step in a long time…the step was actually used for BodyPump for ab exercises and tricep dips..killer!

    • I am deeply grateful that our school has been able to be in person since the start of the school year last fall. A large part of that is due to the incredible staff and teachers like @carrie_dorst that pulls double duty not only as an amazing teacher day in and day out, but also as a disinfecting, social distancing, safety checking guru! We are so blessed to have people that care like you in our school, Carrie! Thank you for all you do! ♥️ Nominate a teacher to win a box of @sambucol products (teachers need all the immune

    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?! I’m sharing a roundup of some of my favorite snacks that span salty, savory and sweet. Whether it’s an after school snack, road trip supply, Netflix/sports accompaniment, family movie night or just a little pick-me-up, I’ve got ya covered with options that you won’t feel guilty about later since these snacks are all comprised of a simple, clean ingredients.

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats.
