Happy {Lounging On The Couch} Weekend!

Friday, finally! Wow, this week seemed super long, but extremely busy. How was your week? Any fun plans for the weekend? I'm planning on staying in this weekend and catching up on tv shows, watching movies and cooking delicious food for Josh and I.


Girlfriends

A few fun pictures from last weekend. I absolutely love it when my best girlfriends come in to town.

Spring

It was such a beautiful, sunny day in Portland, which reminded me that Spring is just around the corner! I can't wait for flowers to bloom, cute spring outfits and sunny days. A few looks I'll be attempting this spring..

Travel Itch

For my birthday, Josh got me a bag filled with all the travel essentials, including a gift certificate to Alaska Airlines to purchase a plane ticket for our trip. The only problem is, we can't seem to figure out where we want to go... Hawaii, Mexico, Florida? We know we want to go somewhere tropical, with water and sand, other than that we have NO idea!

Any suggestions?

Valentine's Day

Josh and I dont really celebrate Valentine's day, but we do find it as a great opportunity to spend time together, eat good food and enjoy each other's company in the midst of our busy lives. I came across a few cute cards that are absolutely perfect for us.

Have a very, happy weekend!

Healthy Breakfast


Last night, I made these healthy morning muffins and I must admit they are pretty darn tasty. They aren't too sweet, which makes them a perfect morning treat. If you're on a search for something tasty, low-fat and healthy, I would definitely recommend these! A great way to start the morning and keep up with those 2010 resolutions (hah!).

Hello 2010


Happy Monday! Hope you had an amazing holiday season. I definitely needed the time off from work, and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my family and friends. I'm slowly easing back into work on this Monday morning.

As we head in to the new year, I've started thinking about my resolutions for 2010. I can only hope for a fresh new start, where I can leave my old disappointments behind me and move on. I think 2010 is going to be a great year, I can just feel it! Here's to a new and wonderful year! xoxox


A few 2010 resolutions:

1. Take pleasure in the little things in life
2. Spend more time with my family and friends
3. Join a book club
4. Spend less, save more
5. Travel often
6. Stop being so indecisive about every life decision
7. Bake and cook more. I'd love to learn how to cook up a few family recipes
8. Try new things. I need to learn to step out of my comfort zone
9. Appreciate more, complain less
10. Cut down on coffee
