Cookie Exchange
I set out to make a cute cookie this year at our annual cookie exchange with my girlfriends from the Junior League. Every year I bring something tasty, but not so impressive looking. This year I wanted the prize for "best dressed" and I won!
I stole the recipe from fellow Pi Phi Vanessa after she posted that these cookies were a hit at her cookie exchange. Why reinvent the wheel? Thanks Vanessa! You can get the recipe here.
HuffPost Live
You can watch the segment I was a guest on below talking about Holidays in Splitsville. I speak around minutes 5:30 and 15:30 if you don't want to watch the entire thing...and yes, the audio is not synced. I think I need a new computer :) Regardless, it was a fun experience.
Tacky Sweater Enchilada Night
We had our third annual Tacky Sweater Enchilada Night at my Dad's on Saturday. The matching sweaters I ordered for me and Jason fell through so we were duds. He wore last year's and I wore my I'm Tired Sweatshirt since it described exactly how I felt that day.
My boys however, looked amazing!
Awkward holds and all! |
Lululemon
I'm asking for lots of Lululemon this year from Santa in hopes that it will jump start my workouts after Christmas. I know, so cliche...new year, new you. I can't quite use the excuse of "I just had a baby" anymore. Luckily for me (not my wallet) a Lululemon is opening minutes from my house!!! Boy am I in trouble.
In order to get my butt out of bed at 5:30 a.m. to workout, I require a cute outfit.
Last time I was in really good shape a few years ago Lulu was my reward for pounds lost (and also minutes from where I lived then). 5 dropped pounds = a new pair of Wunder Unders. Workout 4 times this week = headband. Hey, whatever works people! Luckily I have lots of pounds to drop for my little reward system.
Until then, this is my motto:
And finally...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! I will be taking the rest of the year off from the blog, except for my annual year in review. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your friends and family. I am so incredibly thankful to everyone who reads this little blog. I love all of the virtual friendships I've made and look forward to getting to know you more! See you 2014!
{I'll be all over Instagram during my blogging break so follow me there}
Lots of love!
It was a lulu Christmas at my house! I love your motivators. The nice folks at my local Lululemon know me now because I'm in and out of there so much. (Sad, but true.)
ReplyDeleteHave a happy new year!
So happy you had a lulu Christmas! Tell me all you got! It will be very bad when the lulu opens near me. I got a new bang buster, wunder unders, crb and a base runner 1/2 zip...basically a cute little outfit. Off to bed for a 5:30 am pb class tomorrow. Happy New Year!
