I DARE YOU

Hello Friends!

I'm taking on a challenge this month.  I'm joining in on the Healthy Living How To No Candy Challenge.  I know, I'm a little crazy right?  What's a girl doing giving up candy and doing it for the month of October???  I guess I just enjoy a challenge and know how good it is for me.  The last time I did this, I felt amazing.

Is anyone else ready to join this challenge?  I DARE YOU!!!!

Vanessa at Healthy Living How To has wonderful tips for being healthy and overcoming sickness with good food and exercise.  Although I can't say that I've been sick, I have experienced fatigue and chronic lower back pain.  I'm not a doctor with a diagnosis, but I do know that I feel a difference when I'm committed to eating really well and working out regularly.  For me, there is no better feeling than a day without the back ache.

Here's my Running Round-Up.  I didn't get out as much as I'd like but that's just life and I'm trying not to make excuses.  My goal next month is one more than this month.

Here's to a happy and healthy October!

Apple Picking

Hello Friends!

We had a picture perfect weekend and decided to head to our local apple orchard.  It truly felt like a Hallmark moment.  Beautiful orchard, gorgeous weather and the girls had so much fun.

The weather has been perfect for the apples this year.  The trees were so full of apples, the branches were literally reaching for the ground.  We enjoyed a hay ride through the orchard's nursery and learned all kinds of fun facts.  We'll definitely be making this an annual event and I'll be crossing this off my Fall Bucket List.

Let's Get Physical

Hello Friends!

Are you getting the cool fall weather that we are in Iowa?  I LOVE this time of year and it has me already thinking of getting cozy.  I love comfy clothes as much as I love my skinny jeans.  The thought of getting cozy with a book or good movie and a fire, has me thinking about this great Gap Fit Line.  I'm not one to put a lot of thought into my workout clothes (typically a t-shirt and shorts), but I do still love to be stylish in my lounge wear.  

I'm loving these cozy zip up sweatshirts and crews.  They are perfect paired with yoga pants, a novel and the fireplace crackling (insert laugh here as ours does not crackle, just a flip of the switch and it turns on and off).  I will be adding this to my "Oh What I Want" list ( you know me and lists) and watch for some sales.

How about you?  What do you like to wear for cozy days in?


Hugs,
