Ice Cream and Exercise

I know the title of my blog is contradictory!  Today is National Ice Cream Day.  Since ice cream is one of my family's favorite treats, we had to make sure that we made time in our day to get some.  We started the day at the pool.  It has been so hot here lately that the pool is not even a cool enough place to be!



After the pool, we went Coldstone Creamery.  I love the flavors and the mix-ins!  (You can see from the photo above that my girls love it too!)  My favorite is peanut butter cup perfection.  If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you must try it!

Later in the day it was time for me to exercise.  Let me preface this by saying I am not someone who exercises all of the time.  I know that I am supposed to, that it is good for me, etc.  Honestly, I usually do not have time during the school year to fit it into my schedule.  I try to do a better job in the summer.  I have found that my favorite workout is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred Level 1.  (There is a level 2 and 3, but I have found level 1 to be my favorite.)  Don't let the fact that it is level 1 fool you.  It is quite a workout!  The best part of this workout is that it only takes about 27 minutes from start to finish.  It is hard to make excuses when a workout is only this long!  It incorporates strength, cardio, and ab work.  You only need hand weights.  (I actually used cans of soup when I first tried it before I had weights!)  Give it a try.  I bet that you will love it!

What do you do to keep in shape?

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday!  We are linking up with  Erika ,  Narci  &  Andrea  for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted!  We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several of Will's friends came and

Ladies Who Link: August Edition: Back To School Prep

Hey everybody!!  Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts:  Allie over at A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa at Coast to Coast ,  Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell  and  Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time! Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud
