weekend in snaps

Back to Monday tomorrow, 

amazing how quickly the weekends go.

It was a busy weekend with the byu men's volleyball game,

friends birthday celebrations, 

catching up with friends till 2 a.m. {getting too old for those wee hours},

our first real snow fall in the valley{snowshoeing is a must soon}, 

and having some of my dad's amazing chicken soup for Sunday dinner, 

not a shabby way to end a great weekend.

A new taste.

Last week some of us went to Banana Leaf a new 

Sri Lankan restaurant in Provo.

The ambiance, the food, the presentation 

was all so delicious and foreign to my palate it 

was refreshing.

If you're in the area I definitely suggest trying it out.

Happy 1st to Odin!

I can't count all the ways that I love little Odin.

He's absolutely my favorite little boy.

He always makes sure to bring a smile to my face.

He gives me big wet kisses all of the time.

Dances when I put music on.

Always shares his cheerio's with me.

We're the best of pals.

Happy Birthday to the cutest nephew ever!

A good read.

Over the Holiday's I read this amazing book, Intuitive Eating.

My friend had given it to me some time ago, 

and unfortunately for me I got busy 

and didn't get to it till now.

I am not a health expert, I realize that there are 

a million ideas out there on what to do or not do.

I am just a chica that wants to be kind to my body{eat healthy & exercise}

& have a good relationship with food.

So when I picked up this book it helped me realize many things, 

like listening better to when I'm full instead of just eating to be eating and so forth.

It is a book that makes sense on every level.  It's not a diet or miracle working book.

It just brings you back to the basics like these 10 principles outlined.

If you're looking for a good read on health, I highly recommend it.

Cotton Candy Skies

Driving home from work lately I've been

in awe of how gorgeous the skies are.

The sky is painted with intense shades of pink, orange, blue & maroon.

I could stare at it all day, it's mesmerizing.

Island life dreaming...

 

Now that the Holiday's have sadly left us, I've got my sights

on vacationing in the sun and away from this brown cold winter {sadly no snow this year yet}.

Which I will be gladly doing end of February in the Caribbean.

I'm so so excited and looking forward to exploring some islands 

{Bahama's, St. Maarten, St. Thomas & Grand Turk}.

It's my first time to the Caribbean...

so if you have any tips please send them my way.

Meanwhile...shhhh...I'm daydreaming!
