Peaches and Bubbly

August 28, 2014

We are hanging onto the last moments of summer with this Peaches and Bubbly Cocktail:: Peaches and Bubbly ::

I am hanging onto every ounce and last minute of summer with this Peaches and Bubbly cocktail.  No I don’t want to, do I have to wake up early and rush around? I am craving a routine, but honestly I hate the beginning of the school year.  Adjusting is something I never do well with, so I am going to hide behind my crate of peaches and this pretty summer bottle of Chandon….

Simple Sangria Recipe

August 26, 2014

This Simple Sangria Recipe really is that simple.  Perfect for end of summer parties and great for Game Day!:: Simple Sangria Recipe ::

This Simple Sangria Recipe has a fun story.  In September I will be celebrating my 11th wedding anniversary! My hubby and I got married at a winery.  We both love and enjoy wine. I learned how to make this Simple Sangria Recipe after we had a tasting at the winery in which we wed.  They had a band playing on a warm Sunday afternoon and large vats of Sangria on hand for those customers tasting wine.  It was delicious and it seemed fairly easy to make from what the wine employees had said. {Mind you I wrote down what I thought went in this Sangria on a napkin}.  A little of this and a little of that and a bunch of fruit that sits over night.  The perfect Sangria for Game Days when you are celebrating a good win with friends.

Date Day in Old Towne Orange

:: Date Day in Old Towne Orange ::

Last week, this super cute guy and I had a daytime date. We dropped the kids off at his mom’s house… and spent some time meandering around Old Towne Orange. It’s not a place we normally go to, when we have time away from the kids {maybe because it’s so familiar}, but for some reason… I had wanted to walk around our old stomping grounds. Perhaps it was the thought of Valentine’s Day being in the near future that had me hoping to revisit where we started… the place where our relationship began, and our love bloomed… more than sixteen years ago.

We spent the afternoon wandering around the circle, taking our time sifting through the old antique stores, and dawdling in the quaint boutiques.  [Read more…]

  • 19 Core-Strengthening Exercises | POPSUGAR Fitness
  • For rapid leg weight loss, a combination of intense cardio and targeted leg exercises is key. High-impact activities like running, cycling, or jumping rope burn calories and reduce overall body fat. Adding exercises like squats, lunges, and leg lifts tones and strengthens the leg muscles, giving them a more defined, lean look. Pairing these exercises with a healthy, balanced diet will accelerate the process.  #RapidLegWeightLoss #SexyLegs #FitnessJourney #LegToning #FatBurning #StrongLegs #CardioForLegs #HealthyLifestyle #LegDayWorkout
