I got in a 12 mile run and that felt great!
My parents arrived yesterday for the holidays which I am excited about. I’m also excited about starting PT today and strengthening my imbalances from injury this year. Then of course I will treat myself by baking a ton of Paleo cookies. I tested some almond cinnamon ones this weekend. They were fabulous! Off to check out the Lulu finds you mentioned!
I am excited to check out those Paleo desserts! It was a busy weekend mostly because I packed to head home to NJ for the holidays. I am leaving Austin today and I am really looking forward to seeing my family!
Definitely going to check out 10 delicious paleo desserts! Made 3 this past weekend but looking for a few more before the holiday season ends.
Love the pug hats! This weekend I got to see friends who live on the west coast but are home for the holidays!
New lulu?! YESS. Day made 😉 My weekend was incredibly non-exciting. I spent the majority of Saturday learning new BODYPUMP track releases, haha!
lol they thought mo was il – hey now! haha
hahaha I love that map thing! I can’t even imagine how terrible I would do labeling a map of the UK, so I feel their pain. hahaha
Those maps are a riot “I am a dog”, “Lobsters”, “No One Knows”…ha too funny!!!!
This weekend i had 3 successful pinterest inspired projects, normally i am the queen of pinterest fails so that was pretty exciting!
Chex granola!!!!???? NO WAY!
I think I have to try all of those paleo desserts! Thanks for sharing!
I’m on school break till Jan. My husband and I are known for getting hooked on a series then we binge and just watch watch watch! Well our new series is Walking Dead. I’ve literally been dreaming about “the dead” for 3 days. Nap times and after the kiddos go to bed we watch! Ahhhh SOO good! Such a winter tradition for us.
I saw the maps last week and they were hilarious! In fairness, I likely couldn’t label most of Europe correctly so I can’t fault them!
Best part of my weekend was having my sister get to town for the holidays! Excited to see her again!
Lets be real:anything bacon is helluva GOOD.
I am ashamed to admit that a lot of people did a better job at naming the states than I could! I am from Canada, and the only ones I know are the ones I have been to or would like to go to- so bad!
Santa came to visit my 3 yr old nephew. Christmas and that much excitement through the eyes of a little one is really fun!
I’m dying over the Cat FAQ, thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen the maps before too, but I still think it is funny every time. I always find it so interesting what places interest others about America. In Germany I saw a map that only labeled New York, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa and Albuquerque?
The labeling of the United States by people in London is hilarious. I love that they think Nevada exists twice. Yup. Nevada 1 and Nevada 2. Classic.
Haha – those crochet pug hats are adorable!!
We had a festive weekend filled with Christmas parties and fun times with friends and family. It was the best!
The videos of people getting puppies for Christmas are too cute!! Thanks for sharing! The map is so funny also, when I studied abroad I gave up on telling people I was from St. Louis and just told them I was from Chicago, because that was the nearest city most recognized.
I watched the CrossFit World Championship on TV and my mind was blown. Literally, unbelievable.
General get ready for the holiday things….my parents are coming in today, so laundry was started (and continued today…) and cleaning and whatnot! Excited to spend the time with them!
My Aunt made those bacon appetizers for Thanksgiving and they are to.die.for! OMG so delicious, you’ll love them! Be sure to make a ton haha Merry Christmas to you and your family!
As someone from Iowa and who currently lives in Nebraska, I take offense to the “absolutely nothing” written on that map of the United States!! 😉 haha… It may not be the most exciting place… but we have a few things to do 😉
You should definitely buy a pug hat!
That hat is adorable! Nothing spectacular happened this weekend for me. I worked all weekend. I thought I was ready for the holidays but I was wrong!
Those pug hats are adorable! This weekend was kind of ick. Baby didn’t want to nap, weather was yuck, but at least we are all healthy!
Chex granola sounds awesome!!
The map was hilarious–I saw that a few weeks ago and laughed my head off!
That pug hat is too cute O.O
