Friday Faves- February 1st

February 1, 2013

Wow..when did it become February already!  Can’t believe how fast that went!  In any case, I felt like switching it up this week and showing you my top Instagram faves…because let’s face it, all photos look better when used with Instagram!  (Photo courtesy of thedailyquirk.com).

Here is a random sampling of photos from my Instagrammed life!

1.  Vintage ring…LOVE the color and the side stones!
2.  Breakfast of champions: I wanted to break out of the cereal rut this week, so I stocked up on a big container of vanilla yogurt and granola and added some fresh strawberries.  YUM!
3.  Life motto…found this cute coffee cup at Marshall’s and had to have it!
4.  New rug I picked up at Kohl’s to go in our downstairs bathroom.  The tile in there was SO cold so this really helps!  Now I’m having trouble finding matching towels…the search continues!
5.  DIY monogram frame:  I made this for my Secret Santa at work back in December and had to make another one for myself since I was already had all the supplies!  It adds a nice pop of color and personalization to my office at work!
6. Jillian Michaels’ workout DVDs are awesome.  No joke.  They are really challenging and I have a small collection so I rotate which ones I do so I don’t get bored.  Lots of great toning & strength exercises to compliment those treadmill runs!

Linking up with Perfectly Imperfect for InstaLately and From My Grey Desk Blog for High Five for Friday and Life Rearranged for InstaFriday.

    Jillian does have the best workout DVDs!!! I received her yoga one once, and whoa, that is NOT how I remember yoga. It was not relaxing to say the least. LOL!

    Love the mug!

    • 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 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.
