Just MOVE! pt 2

HEALTHY LIVING
I have always been a proponent of keeping your body in motion to stay fit and healthy. And with Austin’s picture perfect spring, I find there is rarely an excuse these days for me not to be exercising. I wrote  6 ways to healthier you a couple of months ago and my siblings read it and pooled their cash and bought me a Fitbit for my birthday! I LOVE IT. It keeps me counting. Keeps me accountable. Keeps me wanting to do more....

February Highlights

LIFE
Today is the first day of March… The Month where Spring Begins and the trees start budding… The month of March Madness & Saint Patrick’s Day Fun. The Month of Lent. The Month of Easter. My parents will be visiting soon and E & I will also be traveling with friends. I am so pumped for the adventures ahead :) I’ve started a series of monthly highlights because I’m practicing daily gratitude and looking back at each month is a fun...

The Best Salmon Salad. Ever.

RECIPES
  Glazed Salmon, Toasted Walnuts, Cranberry, Avocado, and Red Onion served on a bed of Lemon Zest Arugula, lightly drizzled with Honey and Balsamic Vinaigrette Hi. Just sitting here imagining how this glorious salad would be listed on a restaurant menu. That sounds so friggin good, right? Whenever it says ‘glazed’ or ‘drizzled’, I’m sold. “Glazed Cow Brains drizzled in red wine vinaigrette”- Glazed? DRIZZLED? YA! Let’s try it! YUM. Totally kidding. But they know what they’re doing with that lingo. Ps: I’m no...

Spring Style Inspiration

Collages•OUTFITS
Happy Monday! Now I know you midwesterners experienced a little warmth over the weekend and are probably getting pumped for Spring. I’m getting pumped for Spring too. It’s been gorgeous here in Austin. Warm but not too warm. Sunny. 75 degrees.  I got a chance to read and lay out at Barton Springs on Friday. It was perfect. Now that Spring is on it’s way, I’ve been getting inspired by Pantone’s colors of the year: Rose Quartz & Serenity. I love...

Home Inspiration

OUR HOME
I’m sure many of you have thought about what your dream home would look like. Growing up, I envisioned a wrap around porch. Several bedrooms. Kids running around. Lots of natural light. A fireplace. Or two. Lots of accent colors. Leather furniture. Rustic decor… They call it a ‘Dream’ Home right? So you can envision whatever you want, no matter how unrealistic or unattainable. So if I’m playing by those rules (which DUH, I am), then we’ll also include...

Spring is in the Air!

*
The weather here lately has been so warm and gorgeous that I’m starting to walk with a new spring in my step.

We took full advantage of this beautiful weekend by spending as much time as possible outside. Heyyyyyyy patio weather. I like you very much. E’s parents and I met him for lunch on Friday at...

Attitude is Everything

LIFE
Today I’m pondering attitude. And sharing an inspiring quote. Love me some HumpDay Wisdom ;) Attitude is so important. Things are going to happen in life that we aren’t ready for. Certain things will change. People will come and go. You’ll be judged unfairly a time or two. And you’ll probably judge somebody else. Without even meaning to. You’ll face challenges and new beginnings. You’ll receive criticism. You’ll have ups and downs and highs and lows. What’s important to...

Blogger Secrets Revealed!

BLOGGING
I’ve been at this blogging game for about 4 months now and I cannot believe how much I have learned and discovered in that time period. Who knew that this blogging world had so much to offer. Who knew how much strategy was involved? I originally started this journey inspired by a friend to merge my creative outlets. I had no idea that I would find even more ways to get creative. Or that I would find so much...

Avocado Toast with Salmon

RECIPES
I hope you had an awesome weekend! #GOBRONCOS I had coworkers over on Friday night for wine and crafts and E and I spent most of our weekend running errands and laying low. We watched the Superbowl with our Sunday School class and snacked on delicious appetizers. I brought over chocolate strawberry footballs, which if you saw my instagram post, realize had a low turn out rate in terms of aesthetics. But man, they were delicious! Eric made a...
