Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Ours was snowy, fun and busy.
First of all, we had not one but TWO holiday parties this weekend! I can’t remember the last time we actually went out both nights of a weekend! I win the world’s worst blogger award, since I have no fun photos of us dressed up, or having fun with our friends. I took a few photos of the gorgeous decorating our friends did for each party, then totally forgot to take any more photos. Oops – sorry!
It snowed all day Saturday, which was so pretty, although it made getting to and from our second party a little tricky. And we ended up having our sitter sleep on our couch Saturday night so she didn’t have to trek home! Roman was super psyched to have pancakes with her Sunday morning! 🙂
I tried Allison’s trick of popping corn in a brown paper bag in the microwave. No oil, no butter, just popcorn kernels and a brown bag. I can’t believe it works but it does!! (Also, when I went out to buy popcorn kernels, I discovered our local deli has a kitten. SO cute!)
Roman really loves the snow. This makes me happy because I think it’s the prettiest thing in the world and love being in the park when it’s a winter wonderland. This makes Fran happy because he grew up in Vermont so he loves seeing our little man being all Vermont-y. 😉
And of course, I went for a run. A nice, snowy, crisp run. 🙂 It was really lovely. I went out just before dusk yesterday and remembered that I love running in winter. I also got to wear my new, cute leggings Fran bought for me. #ilovehockey
I have a lot of fun stuff coming up this week! I have not one, but TWO awesome guest posts on goal planning and achieving your goals. Stay tuned tomorrow and Saturday for those. Also happening this week is a huge Elf for Health blog swap! A huge troupe (or possibly a drove) of elves (yep, that’s right, you better believe I googled the collective term for a group of elves) are all busy writing blog posts to fulfil Wednesday’s challenge of sharing your expertise. So some lovely Elvin blogger will be guest posting on Wednesday to share some wisdom with all of you! It’s the week of guest posts. 😉
This Friday, I’m going to do a special round up of Fit Mama Friday for the year. And then this weekend we are going to have SO MANY VISITORS!! My brother Chris, his wife Danni and my three nephews Jack, Riley and Nathan are all coming to spend Christmas with us, all the way from Australia! Also in town for the weekend (before they go on to visit family for Christmas) is my old friend Saskia, her husband Michael and their boys Cooper and Archie. They’re also flying in from down under.
Luckily, the Elf for Health challenge Sunday was to meal plan for the week, so I have one less thing to think about while I get ready for our Aussie influx!! 😉
What are your plans for the holiday?
Do you plan your meals? I am never this organized, so we’ll see if it becomes a habit!
What was your workout this weekend?
Sounds like y’all had an incredible weekend!!! And, I’m very much looking forward to all that you have to share this week!
