{ Birthday Card Craft }

* Happy 91st Birthday Gammy! *

Handmade birthday cards always add character to someone's special day! Taking the time out of your day to make an extra special keepsake... If someone you know has a birthday coming up, or you just want to tell them how much you love them, send me a pic and I will share them on the blog! 

We love you soooo much Gammy! Through her 91 years (and counting) she has touched the lives of so many! She is an amazing cook, never letting anyone go hungry... EVER! Always has Butter Pecan ice cream in her fridge and opens her doors to anyone who needs a place to stay the night... Amazing! Oh and did I mention she has babysat my brother and I for the past 18 years. Yes, and she still does! Well, hopefully this card makes it to the piano with all of the other family photos, holiday cards and special mementos. 

Hope everyone is having a great day!

{ Vibrant Workout Outfit of The Day }

Champion Raspberry Long Sleeve Tee | Champion Green Berry Short Sleeve Tee

My favorite way to exercise? WALKING! Every night and weekend morning (when I don't have to get up to go to school) I take Cooper on a long walk around town... A great way to get me out of bed (and do something productive). Cooper demands it and so does my Fitbit! (I will be talking more about the Fitbit on Friday so check back!)

On another note, I wanted to tell you about these two workout outfits that I got for Christmas. The raspberry long sleeve is perfect for night walks or cooler mornings... Green berry short sleeve tee for afternoon! Both are lightweight and easy to wear... and they keep you cool! Nobody likes to be all sweaty! Best of all, they are from Target! Who doesn't love Target?!

{ Cinnamon Apple Brown Rice Recipe }

Hey everyone! I wanted to share this easy, healthy and yummy breakfast idea with you. Fast and simple to make (and store) it will be ready whenever you are! All you need is:

One Serving:

1 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 cup original unsweetened almond milk
1/2 an apple; cubed
1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
handful of almonds; chopped

Combine. Cook over medium heat until most of the almond milk is absorbed. (Feel free to add more or less almond milk depending on how thick you like it)... Serve in your favorite cup or bowl... and enjoy!

I love that it is healthy yet super tasty, and keeps you full all morning! Make a big batch and store it in the fridge for a fast breakfast or even dessert, you can simply heat up.

{ Post-Holiday Outfit of the Day }

J.Crew Necklace | Fitbit Band

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I can't believe it has come and gone already, but we now we can enjoy our Christmas presents! 

With a chambray top, my Babakul jeans (my favorite everyday pair), orthotic boots, and new Fitbit band (which I will share on a future post) you just can't go wrong.

This J.Crew necklace was one of my favorite gifts! It is easy to wear with any outfit, simple and classy with a bit of sparkle.  It is supposed to be worn as a long necklace as it is 31" in length. I decided to double wrap it and make it short instead. I also showed two different ways it can be worn short above.

I wish I could tell you where to find the Babakul jeans but unfortunately I can't find them anywhere! I have been wanting to buy more ever since I bought these about a year ago, but they no longer make them, as far as I know. If I had known when I bought them, I would have come home with 20 pairs!
