The Highlights

This was the weirdest week.  We had perfect days, rainy days, icy days and everything in between.  When the sun was out, so were we.  We went for long walks, played in the backyard and just enjoyed the sunshine.
I've decided that winter in the South is a mixed bag :)

The best parts of our week...

1. I try to pick up a fun souvenir whenever we travel.  I usually opt for a fun piece of jewelry or some home decor that will remind me of the place we visited.  On our trip to Oxford, MS last weekend, I found this darling stack of bracelets that I just had to have.  I have been working on collecting a few gold bracelets to wear together and I knew they would complete my set.  I love that they match everything, the wrapped wire look and I love the gold.  What kinds of things do you buy for yourself on trips?

2. I have really enjoyed decorating for St. Patrick's Day and planning fun things for the month.  It felt like Spring a few days this week so it made me happy to see a bright yellow wreath on our door!  I even used some leftover scrapbook paper to make some fun gold buntings for around the house.

3.  I made my mom's Butterfinger cookies to share with my MOPS group today and they were SO good.  I'll have to share the recipe with y'all next week.

4. The daffodils are blooming in my backyard.  My MIL and I planted them last fall and hoped they'd bloom in the Spring.  This is my first year to ever attempt any gardening or planting so these blooms make me excited to do some more planting in our yard.  I'm hoping to plant some flowers and herbs this Spring.

5.  I want to celebrate that we ate salads every day this week and we had healthier dinners than usual.  I shared my lettuce wrap recipe earlier this week.  I also hit my personal best Fitbit mark 14.778 steps this week!!  I can pretty easily do 8,000 steps a day so it was fun to work hard and challenge myself to get moving.  I am loving my Fitbit and find that it's really motivating me to get moving.  Any other Fitbit fans out there??  
 

 Any big plans for your weekend??
Hope you have a great one!! 
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  1. Those lettuce wraps look yummers and it is so nice to see some flowers blooming. We live in Northwest Iowa and it is nothing but snow here. Although...warmer temps today and all of next week. Here's hoping in melts away fast. LOL!
