Weekend Recap: Yoga Flowin’ for a good cause with a side of PB & J Rice Cakes.

April 22, 2013 By Kasey 8 Comments

hi all! Happy Monday! One of my inspirations Lori Harder said it best in her facebook post this morning; If you’re like me, my TO-DO lists are always ridiculously long. Instead of looking at tasks as “barriers” between me & my day, I look at them as an accomplishment when I complete one. It’s amazing what the shift in attitude can do. After spending the weekend on the couch, I got hit with a random head cold, I felt a lot better yesterday & was very productive! Having an awesome snack totally helped the situation. Let me introduce you to heaven in your mouth – PB … [Read more...]

Good afternoon everyone! I hope wherever you are that you’re safe. With everything that’s happening today, I wanted to update you on some of my favorite things lately to hopefully just get your mind off of things for a few minutes. As Kelly Ripa said the other morning, her job is to be a entertainment show & that’s what they will do. So even though I am nowhere near the status of Kelly, I do agree that I will do my best to hopefully put a smile on your face while continuing to pray for Boston. Lately, I’ve been starting my morning off with a big green smoothie! I tell ya, I look … [Read more...]
