A Few Friday Favs!
Okay, so I'm on an alliteration kick, but here are a few gems I discovered this week via blogs, or just out in my 'real' life. Ya ready....?
1. Using Beets for Dye to Make Red Velvet Cupcakes.
Huh? Never thought of that, but teamarcia did and shared on her blog. You can find her recipe here.
2. Making Kale Chips.
Yum! (Again, never thought of it, and it's another great way to trick get my kids to eat new veggies.) You can find it on Jill Costantino's blog here)
3. Getting my 2500 yd swim done on my 4th day of hard workouts.
It was Thurs afternoon, and I REALLY didn't feel like it (do you know the feeling?) I was just tired from a more active week than normal. But thru the encouragement of my DH and his friend in the next lane over they said 'hey, just jump in! You'll feel better! You don't have to finish the workout, but just do something.' So I (somehow) jumped in. And proceeded to get the whole dang swim done. STOKED.
4. Reading new blogs and comments.
It's been fabulous and I love becoming connected with so many awesome mama reader/writer athletes out there.
What fav's did you find this week? Would love to know. Oh, and hope your team wins Sunday (I'll be watching for the commercials and the above mentioned snacks! ;-)

I found many new blogs this week that I love:) I am always sifting through different ones to see if there is anything that looks intriguing! Just a few days ago I found two bloggers from Northern England! Sarah or AKA Running Bear B is a speedy girl and Running Fox is a 77 year old runner. I find them both extremely fascinating. They were so happy that their blogs were found by someone across the pond:) I will do a post on them both in the near future. Go check them out, I know that they would appreciate American blogger friends:) Have a great weekend!!!
Let's see...some of my favorite things this week were discovering a great new yoga class at my gym, making yummy sweet potato coconut soup, and watching the season premiere of LOST!
Have a great weekend! :)
Here's something I'll be making (along w/the kale chips)for the big game this weekend:
