How do you like that for a title? It pretty much sums up my weekend in a nutshell. But, because this is a blog and I can talk about whatever I want I am going to run through the weekend with you and provide the non-nutshell version. So here we go!

On Friday afternoon, I ran a few errands and made myself a bowl of alfredo using tofu shiritaki noodles! In the mix: tofu noodles, laughing cow, sour cream, salt and pepper, mushrooms, garlic and spinach.

P1030164

I love making this meal for lunch, it is filling and very light on the calories too! For dinner, I decided to make a homemade pizza. Here is everything before mixing it all together:

P1030170

Last time I made pizza dough I felt it was tasted too much like wheat flour so I opted to use both wheat and white flour. I also added some basil, cilantro, oregano, salt, pepper and red chili flakes to add a kick to it! Here’s the dough all rolled out and ready to go.

P1030175

For our toppings, I decided to use red, green and yellow bell peppers, onions and muchrooms.

P1030172

I paired my pizza with a side salad. Boy was this crust good! The best part is that it made enough for 2 pizzas so I froze the other half for a different day.

P1030176

After dinner, Gregg and I headed to the Brewer Game to watch the Brewers get completely blown out of the water, it was a really crappy game. But, on a good note, I did enjoy a bag of Cracker Jack. I haven’t had this in almost 2 years! I forgot how much I loved the caramel corn and peanuts. SO good! After the game we headed home and got a few things ready for Gregg to go to his parents for the weekend. After that I watched a little bit of tv and hit the hay. When I woke up, Gregg was already gone and I enjoyed a wonderful Gala apple and a bottle of water. After my little snack I got on my bike and headed out for a 40 minute ride.

P1030181

It was such a beautiful day on Saturday that I would have kicked myself if I wouldn’t have gone out. I did about 7.5 miles and it didn’t even feel like I did anything. One thing is for sure, when I got home I was hungry! So, I whipped together a breakfast that I was hoping would get me through the day. In the mix: 1 plain chobani, 1/4 cup of trader joes granola, 1/2 cup of pumpkin and a little bit of whipped topping.

P1030183

After breakfast I packed my bag, hooked up the bike rack and bike to my car and was off to visit my mom. Her and I originally planned on doing some work inside the house, but like I said it was too nice to spend the day indoors so we headed to the outdoor mall instead. We walked around, gossipped, went to Trader Joe’s and bought a few items (I am giving the bran muffins another try, they better not mold on me again!), after about 4 hours walking around we decided it was time for dinner at the Mongolian Grill. We both ended up getting the unlimited bowl. My first one had shrimp and veggies with about 1/4 cup of rice, the second one just had veggies. My eyes were defiantly bigger than my stomach because I couldn’t finish my second bowl even though it was just veggies and no rice!

After dinner, we met up with my grandma and 3 of my aunts and went to see the movie The Proposal. The movie was really funny and cute. The ending kind of sucked but overall, it was a good flick. If you thought about seeing it go for it! There is one part of the movie where I laughed for about 5 minutes non-stop! If you have seen it let me know if you know what part I am talking about. After the movie, we hit up the casino where I won on the same machine as last time! Although, this time I won $283! Well, technically it was $243 because I spent 40. Either way, I was ahead. After the casino, we all headed to the bar and had a beer to end the night.

Sunday morning my mom and I shared an Amazing Grass Chocolate Smoothie. She said it was okay, but she has never had a grass smoothie before, so I expected her to be a little iffy about it. After the smoothie, we went for an 8 mile bike ride. When we got back I made a gigantic bowl of Oatmeal that held me over all day through grocery shopping and cleaning my car! When I got home that night I wasn’t sure what I wanted for dinner so Gregg and I hit up the Fresh Market and got a few things to share.

The first thing we got was a Turkey and Swiss sammy. Him and I split this 6 inch sammy. It was really good, not too greasy and not to filling.

P1030186

Gregg really wanted Sushi so he got the Spicy Shrimp Roll. I had 4 pieces of this with soy sauce and wasabi.

P1030188

And this was clearly my pick, the Strawberry Spinach Salad with almonds and feta cheese. Him and I did split this as well. Overall it was a great variety to have!

P1030185

For dessert, I had 1/4 cup of hi-energy trail mix that Gregg bought for me at the Fresh Market.

P1030191

This morning, I decided I wanted some cereal so I had 3/4 c of regular puffins that my mom gave me, some fiber one yogurt and a cup of coffee. But, unfortunately, I did not stop there. As I was packing Gregg’s lunch and putting in a piece of cake, I decided I wanted one too and ate a piece of cake for breakfast. This is so UNLIKE me! But, I counted for it and moved on and let me tell you, it was damn good too!

P1030193

For lunch, I packed some leftover pizza, grapes, some leftover bell pepper and hummus.

P1030192

Overall, it was a great weekend and I wish it wasn’t over. But, I should get going to work. Have a great day everyone! :)

Also, take a look at An Apple a Day for an awesome Fruit Spread Giveaway along with a Sahale + Ooba Giveaway. Good Luck!

Finally Friday

Who is glad it is finally Friday? This girl! I am in need of a run after work and a good nights sleep tonight. I feel like I have been running on empty the last few days and it’s not a great feeling. With that being said let me go back to my eats from Wednesday. I am sorry to report that I did not take pictures on Wednesday night. Michelle and I went to the Brewer game and ate Subway for dinner in the parking lot. Along with my sub I had an apple and a few beers before and during the game. Thursday morning, I had another Amazing Grass Smoothie and oatmeal, same as the day before!

P1030147

Yesterday afternoon, I had the other half to my Subway sub which was made with 9-grain oat bread, turkey, ham, lettuce, green pepper, onions and black olives! I also had an apple to go with my sub for lunch. When I got home, dinner was a quick and easy decision. We had kickball at 7 so we had to figure out what we could throw together. It is for times like these that I am glad I have frozen vegetable on hand at all times.

For dinner, I mixed 1 package of mixed vegetables with a little bit of corn. I then took some brown rice and cooked it up on the stove, thawed a few shrimp from the freezer and threw it all together for this:

P1030148

P1030151

After dinner, it was time for kickball. Needless to say we lost, our team has been in a funk lately and we cannot seem to get out of it. Oh well, maybe next week we will be better. When we got home, I snacked on a few pieces of sugar free candy I got while in Vegas:

P1030155

And, for my breakfast this morning I toasted up two pieces of whole wheat bread, topped them with PB2 and grabbed a peach and some blueberries to eat on my way to work.

P1030157

Do you see my bread? The piece curled up in the toaster because it was so thin and little from being the last piece in the loaf! But, that’s all I have for now, I should be back later to post my lunch and dinner (maybe tomorrow). Have a great day :)

Good Morning! Yesterday, I had the best day ever. No lie, it was a pretty sweet day. I had my review which went well just as I thought, I got a few units done in my wellness book and I got to hit up the Health Hut for some pretty good bargains! I will warn you now, the pics of my good are a little blurry. I am not sure why they are blurry because when I viewed them after taking them, they were fine! Damn camera, oh well check out the blurry goods:

P1030134

Some Island fruit pineapple coconut bars that were only $.17 each!

P1030135

My favorite Oskri Fig Fruit bars that were $1.29 each.

P1030136

Some other favorite oskri bars that were also $1.29 each.

P1030137

2 bottles of Cranberry Synergy that were only $1.77 each! I have never tried these before, but I felt I had to once I saw the price for each one, this was a steal!

P1030138

I also got some tofu noodles, a new type of soy milk and some popcorn for Gregg. My total was only $17. I didn’t think it was too bad! When I got home, I decided to have BINNER! On tonight’s menu: Omelets. I sauteed green pepper, onion, mushrooms and garlic.

P1030139

Once it was almost cooked, I added some spinach.

P1030142

I added that to my egg beaters with 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and apricot jam and that was dinner…err…. BINNER!

P1030143

Dessert was a Ghiradelli chocolate and a few apricots.

P1030144

This morning, I was once again wanting a smoothie. This time I took a different approach. I usually use water in my smoothies but when I saw the flavor I had left, the new soy milk I bought yesterday for only $1.77 seemed to be an obvious choice. I used the chocolate Amazing Grass and strawberries along with 3/4 c of soy slender and ice. The result: a creamy chocolate milk shake!

P1030146

I also made a small bowl of oats to take with me to work along with my smoothie.

P1030147

I actually tried something different yesterday. I typically just eat my lunch at noon and not snack through the day. But, I found by the time I got home, I was starving and eating a huge dinner! So, I decided to eat my lunch through the day and see how it would hold me over. Surprisingly, it worked! So, today I brought my normal lunch but will eat it throughout the day instead of all at once. In my lunch I have some carrots, a pb&j, an apple and a fig bar. Let’s see how this holds me over today!

P1030145

Thats all for now, keep checking back for an awesome giveaway. Here’s a hint: Gift Cards!!!!!!

Good morning blog world! Today is a very busy day for me at work. I have to create a new wellness program, a new wellness newsletter and have my annual review. I am not nervous about my review, but the wellness part of my job is defiantly taking over today. With that being said, let’s hop to my eats from yesterday and this morning. Last night, Gregg and I met up with 2 friends for all you can eat sushi. I opted not to get the all you can eat and stuck with my usual California roll with nigiri combo. This is my favorite because it is the right amount of sushi to fill you up!

After our dinner, I met up with my sister in law Amy to get her tattoo. She didn’t want to go alone so I told her I would go with. She is a HUGE Dave Matthew’s fan and decided to get the fire dancer tattooed on her shoulder. This is what the fire dancer looks like:

dmb-fire-dancer-image

She got that done in baby blue with flames wrapping around it. It turned out pretty good and she tried to convince me to get a tattoo while I was there. I currently do not have any and am not sure if I ever want one. I have been toying with it but still haven’t taken the plunge. But, the tattoo took about 2 hours so needless to say when I got home, I was ready for some dessert. I decided to have a piece of my diet soda poke cake. Typically I will put the frosting on the cake, but since it takes me so long to eat this cake I opted not to because sometimes the frosting gets a little iffy.

P1030125

After dessert, I read some emails, caught up on blogs and headed to bed. When I woke up I was craving peanut butter and a smoothie. What a weird craving! I attacked my smoothie craving first using Amazing Grass Wheat Grass.

P1030132

I added into my mix of ice, water, oj, strawberries, blueberries and a few tbs of pineapple juice.

P1030131

While that blended I made some pb2 to put on top of 2 toasted Kashi Blueberry Waffles.

P1030130

My smoothie and waffles together:

P1030133

And for lunch today, I packed up a whole wheat bun to go with my Brushetta Boca Burger, a side salad topped with my fruit salsa from the weekend and 2 rice cakes.

P1030129

That’s all I have for right now. Make sure to keep checking in this week for an AWESOME giveaway! Have a great day :)

Good Morning Everyone! I know I have been MIA for the 4thof July weekend, but if your weekend was anything like mine you will understand. So, let’s get started with what I have been up to, get ready it’s a long one! On Thursday afternoon, I went for a run, did some laundry, cleaned our apartment and took a break for an awesome lunch! My lunch included a grilled turkey and cheese sammy, a side salad with lettuce, pepper and strawberries and a little bowl of jello.

P1030104

P1030106

P1030108

After my lunch, I met up with Gregg and his co-workers at BBC’s. I really didn’t want to drink so I had a diet soda while they all talked about work and activities for the 4th. After Gregg had a few with his buddies we were off to dinner. Dinner had to be pretty quick because we had kickball at 6. So, we decided to stop at Noodles & Company where I had the trio with chicken noodle soup, a salad and shrimp on the side. It has been a long time since I have been to noodles, but let me tell you it was yummy!

When we got home from kickball I had a sweet tooth, but instead of having candy or ice cream, I have a Gnu Banana Walnut bar. I forgot how much I liked this flavor. It tastes just like Banana Bread.

P1030109

On Friday, Gregg and I made breakfast and I actually got him to try an Amazing Grass Smoothie! In the mix: Orange juice, ice, strawberries, peaches and a Berry Infusion Amazing Grass.

P1030110

P1030113

Along with my smoothie, I had a bowl of oats with strawberries.

P1030111

After breakfast, Gregg and I did some more laundry, picked up a few things from the store and headed off to Janesville to have lunch with his parents and pick up his friend Aaron. We decided to go to Panera Bread for lunch where I had their Strawberry Poppy-seed Salad and soup. This salad is my favorite, I wish they had it all year! After lunch, we picked up Aaron and headed back to Milwaukee to go to Summerfest. We knew we were going to eat at Summerfest, but weren’t sure exactly what. We decided on Buffalo Wild Wings, a new addition to Summerfest this year. Gregg and I had some boneless wings and some wedges.

3342266103_77b666048b

After we ate dinner, we were off to see Shinedown. However, since they were on a free stage it was packed! So instead of seeing Shinedown, I heard Shinedown. Oh well, it was still fun. So fun in fact that we decided to hit up the Brass Monkey for a few drinks afterwards. On the way Aaron and I decided we needed a picture of us wearing our Sunglasses at Night! So, here we are:

P1030115

Needless to say it was a VERY fun night, with lots of drinking and good laughs. Now, I don’t do this very often, but we decided to have a few more drinks when we got home and we decided that we were all hungry and ordered Topper’s Sticks. These used to be my go-to food at 3am in college so it brought back some good memories. I know the are so bad for you, but once and a while is okay.

2869462892_9925da8302

Saturday morning, I woke up around 10:30 which wasn’t too bad for going to bed at 4:00 AM! I needed something fruity and clean, so I made myself a green grass smoothie.

P1030094

After my smoothie, I took a shower and lounged around for a little bit. We took Aaron back to Janesville, but stopped for lunch. The boys decided they wanted Panera, AGAIN! But, this time, I got the salad with the veggie sammy!

2566244378_9ac3f8c3ed

Once we got home from Janesville, we got ready and headed to Summerfest with my brother and his girlfriend. Once again, dinner was at summerfest. For dinner I had a Gyro. This was my first Gyro ever! My verdict: I like it, a lot! It also came withsome chicken and a side of rice. I started eating my Gyro with the pita, but I got full pretty quick so I only ended up eating half of the pita bread, but all of the meat inside. I ate a little bit of the chicken and rice. Overall, it was awesome! I think I may eat Greek food a little more often.

gyros2

We got home around midnight and I crashed pretty much as soon as I got in the door. Sunday morning, I woke up and was craving granola! So, I decided to have 1/3 cup of pumpkin spice granola, some Chobani Greek yogurt, strawberries and an apple.

P1030119

Oddly enough this kept me full until dinner. For dinner, we grilled chicken and corn on the cob. I also made a fruit salsa as an appetizer a strawberry goat cheese salad to go with and a diet soda poke cake for dessert. We invited my mom over so I was kind of distracted and I only ended up getting a picture of the salsa!

P1030120

In the salsa I chopped up 1 mango, 5 strawberries, 1/3 cup of pineapple, and 1/8 cup of onion and mixed it with 2 tbs of oj, cilantro and 1/4 tsp of salt. If you like your salsa spicy, add a jalapeno pepper to give it a kick with some lime juice! The salsa was really tasty and great for a hot summer day!

This morning, I had a bowl of pumpkin oats with a cup of coffee.

P1030123

For lunch, I made another strawberry and goat cheese salad.

P1030121

This salad is to die for if you like goat cheese. It is a spin off on the salad I get from Twisted Fork. for my salad mixed a few hand-fulls of spinach, 5 strawberries, a little onion together and topped with a creamy goat cheese. I also packed up an apple and a fiber one granola bar.

P1030124

Food Recap

Good afternoon everyone! Can you believe it, my work week is over already, it’s such a wonderful feeling. But, since I have a ton of things to do this afternoon like clean, laundry, the dishes and kickball I gotta hurry up and go through the last few days of food! Just as an FYI this isn’t all that I have eaten, but it’s a good idea. Enjoy!

Saturday morning, I went to bootcamp with my mom and decided to try this bar for a pre-workout meal.

P1030089

I got this as a sample from the wonderful people at Amazing Grass. When I first opened it, it looked like a larabar. But, when I bit into it I liked it more than the larabar. The consistency of the bar was dead on, you really could feel the texture of each ingredient. I have had some bars before where it tastes like mush, but this one did not! It was so good, I cannot even begin to explain how much I enjoyed this. I am really excited that I have 2 more though!

P1030090

Saturday night, I had a baptism to go to and then we went to summerfest. Of course I forgot my camera, but let me tell you it’s probably a good thing since it was raining! For breakfast on Monday, I had some greek yogurt, granola and a cup of coffee. For lunch, I had a PB&J with strawberries, carrots and a granola bar. And for dinner, we went over to my brother’s house to have dinner with him and my other brother who was here from CA. We actually had a really great dinner. It included chicken kabobs with a greek salad and pita bread. For dessert, I brought a fruit tart. The evening was a success as usual, but it always stinks to say goodbye….

Now back to some pictures. Tuesday morning, I made breakfast to go. It included eggbeaters with peppers, onions and muchrooms with 2 pieces of whole wheat bread and a cup of coffee.

P1030093

Lunch was a salad made with lettuce, carrots, peppers, onions, and tofu. The tofu always adds a little something extra to my salads.

P1030092

Tuesday night, I went to the brewer game for my friends birthday and didn’t take any pictures… I know I suck! But, to sum it up I ate WAY too much food! Oh well, will make up for it later :)

Wednesday morning, I decided to make a smoothie. This smoothie had ice, orange juice, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, a banana, some truvia and an Amazing Grass Pomegranate Mango Infusion Meal. I seriously think I am addicted! This keeps me full all the way until lunch without having to have a morning snack.

P1030094

For lunch, I had a tofu and bb sammy with carrots, an apple and a pb cookie.

P1030096

For dinner last night we decided to just have some turkey wraps. My wrap included lettuce, mayo and some Salisto Boars Head Turkey. Have you ever had this kind before? If you haven’t you should, it is perfectly spicy!

P1030097

Along with my wrap, I had carrots and Mr. Kripers that I won from Danica’s contest. Mr. Krispers are so good and gluten free! Check em out!

P1030098

For dessert last night I had some caramel corn and jello. I know what a great combo! This morning for breakfast it was time for another smoothie. This time I decided to try the Chocolate powder by Amazing Grass. I also added some oatmeal (to thicken it up), vanilla, strawberries and 2 whole bananas.

P1030099

Here is everything ready to get blended up!

P1030100

And here was the final product. This one rocked my world! The combination of chocolate/banana/strawberry is the best. I think I am officially hooked on the smoothie trend. But, thats all I have for now, have a great day :)

BeyonceSingleLadies

For some odd reason, I have that song stuck in my head. But, oddly enough it ties into what I was going to blog about today. No, Gregg and I did not break up, we are still together and still very happy. So, you’re probably thinking how does being single have to do with this post today, well I’ll explain.

About a month ago, I was approached by SingleEdition.com to write about my healthy lifestyle and how I got there. When they first approached me I was a little hesitant because I am not single, Gregg and I have been together for almost 5 years now. So, I replied back to SingleEdition and asked them if I had to be single to write about my healthy lifestyle on their website. That’s when they explained to me that it was not a requirement to be single to be featured on their website. Anyone can go to this website for advice on healthy living, personal well-being and anything else you can think of.

Yes, the website does aim towards single people, but it’s not a requirement. I look at the website pretty often because it offers great advice on healthy habits. And, if you are single it let’s you know that you are not alone and that it is okay to be single! I don’t know how many times I hear someone say “Being Single Sucks!” When in reality, being single shouldn’t suck. It should be a time for you to find yourself, see who you are as a person and embrace the fact that you are making it on your own.

It’s tough being single at times, but the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment of doing something on your own is very rewarding. I mean, think about it, when you are in a relationship with someone, doesn’t it feel good to just do your own thing once and a while? Or do something that is just for you? It’s the same when you are single. Don’t be ashamed of it, embrace it and if someone comes along that makes you want to be with them then do it.

So, if you are looking for some advice on healthy living or know of someone who could really the resources that the site offers, send them over to www.singleedition.com and while you are there, maybe even check out my profile!

Have a great day everyone!

Vacation Recap

Good Morning Everyone. Sorry I wasn’t back yesterday to post about my vacation, being away from work for 8 days makes it a little hard to blog during lunch. But, enough about excuses, let’s get onto the recap! Gregg and I spent a total of 9 days on vacation. The first part of our vacation consisted of spending 5 days in San Diego. We ended up staying with my brother who lives out there and got a few pictures of us together thanks to him!

Here we are at Mission Beach. This beach is awesome, the waves rock if you are a surfer and the overall atmosphere is very chill and laid back.

photo2

Here we are at the Oceanside Beach. Of course it was cloudy and kind of cold, so I didn’t get to swim in the ocean this time around. This beach was less crowded than Mission Beach, but it still had a very calm feeling to it.

photo

While we were in San Diego, we ventured out to a few places like Coyote, Dino’s, Rockin Baja, and Old Town. Old Town is this restored part of San Diego. It has a very western feel and look to it. While in Old Town, my brother took us to a place called O Hungry’s for a drink. Little did I know what was coming….. a half yard beer! But, I figured why not. After all, we were on vacation so I didn’t care. Here we are with our 1/2 yard beers… mine’s a blue moon!

photo3

After our 5 days in San Diego it was time to say goodbye. We actually rented a car and drove from San Diego to Las Vegas. Have you ever driven through Nevada with a convertible? If you haven’t, keep it that way. It was HOT! Obviously, I knew it would be hot, being in the desert and everything but this was hotter than I thought it would be! Half way through the trip, we had to stop to put the top up because I couldn’t take it anymore. But, needless to say after 4 1/2 hours of driving we checked into our hotel room at the Bellagio and had this for a view:

P1030026

We actually got lucky enough to have a view of the water show. The water show is amazing and an easy way to forget about everything going on around you. If you haven’t seen it before, this is a must while you are in Vegas. And you cannot go to Vegas without seeing Paris! Here is the Paris Hotel at night:

P1030033

During our days in Vegas, we walked A LOT and took in the many sites it has to offer. Here is the Wynn and Encore Hotel. Last time I was in Vegas (for my 21st) the Encore wasn’t there. Things sure do change fast in Vegas.

P1030051

Here’s me outside the Wynn Hotel:

P1030053

Not only did we stay at the Bellagio, we also stayed at TI and here is the view from our window there:

P1030060

While in Vegas, we decided to have 1 day/night where money wasn’t an issue. We started our day with a meal at the Mesa Grill. But, Bobby Flay is my favorite and going to his restaurant was a must! So, I clearly started off with a glass of white wine. After we were seated, our waiter brought us a basket of fresh bread. There were 3 types of bread: walnut raisin, jalapeno and a blue cornbread muffin.

mesagrill21

Take a look at the cornbread muffin, it was so light and fluffy: TO DIE FOR!

P1020604

I ended up getting 2 items off the menu. The first was the Tortilla Soup. I was a little worried about this because after I ordered it the lady sitting next to us was complaining about how spicy it was. But, when it was brought to the table, I dug right in! This soup was sooo good! I will admit it was a little spicy, but the avocado in the soup brought a nice cool down to it!

sage-016

The next item I ordered was the Mesa Burger. I know that Bobby Flay is the grill master so I knew this would not disappoint! My verdict: the best burger I have ever had! It was huge as you can tell so I didn’t finish it all. But the fries were southwestern fries. They had a nice spice rub on them that made them melt in your mouth. Overall, a great lunch/dinner.

mesagrill51

After lunch/dinner, we headed back to our hotel to get ready to go out! Our first stop was to see a Cirque Du Souel show. We decided to see Zumanity. A word of advice, if you are not comfortable with sex and talking about it, do not see this show. I could tell some people there were a little uncomfortable, but I was fine! The show was hilarious and very tasteful (in most parts).

P1030064

After the show, we decided to go to the Rumjungle for a few drinks.

P1030062

Can you see why it’s called the Rumjungle? All of those bottle behind us are basically all rum! I had no idea they made that many kinds. After our night at the Rumjungle, we went to a bar called Minus 5. I do have a picture, but I have to scan it in. I will post later and explain that to everyone!

P1030063

After Minus 5 we grabbed a bite to eat, hit up the Casinos and were off to bed around 3:30a. True Vegas Style. But, after I long night, it was time to say goodbye to our hotel. We ended up having a really late flight so we had all day to walk around Vegas and see a few more things. We once again traveled to the New York New York, here are a few pics of that:

P1030075

P1030068

After the New York New York, We went to the MGM Grand.

P1030070

Look how big and scary the lion outside looks!

P1030084

And look how sweet and innocent the lion inside looks:

P1030081

We also got to visit the Excalibur. This hotel is okay, but it is more for people with children.

P1030072

As we walked down the strip we stopped at the M&M store and someone was nice enough to take our picture.

P1030086

While in Vegas I also bought myself a new Coach Purse:

After all that, we headed home at 11:30 at night and got back to Milwaukee at 5:00 AM! Boy were we tired, but the trip was totally worth it. I hope you enjoyed my recap and that it didn’t bore you too much! Have a great day :)

I’m Back!

So, I didn’t JUST get back. But, I needed sometime to get used to being back so I stayed away from blogging for a few days. I will go through a recap of my vacation later on today, but for now enjoy a few pics!
