World's Largest Gummy Bear!

Happy Valentines Day! I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day like we did :) We've never been huge on Valentine's Day and don't really do much for presents or anything like that but when my friend Besty at work brought in a 5lb Gummy Bear that she won in a bet over the Packer/Bears game I knew I had to get Jeremy one for Valentine's Day. So that's what I got him!

We had a relaxing Valentine's and it was wonderful. I made fajitas for dinner, we exchanged out little gifts and we spent the rest of the night watching Dexter episodes!

My hubby knows me well, peanut butter M&M's are my favorite! :)

Isn't this the biggest gummy bear you've ever seen? I wonder how long it's going to take him to eat it!

Just had to throw a picture of cute little Maple in there!

Happy Birthday Mom!

It was my mom's birthday on the 12th so I took another trip to WI to visit my mom and help celebrate her birthday! We had a great weekend but sadly we didn't take any pictures :(

On Saturday morning my mom, her friend Shawn and I went to a "hot" yoga class in Madison. Even though it wasn't a "Bikram" certified studio, it was still the 26 postures in a 105 degree room! I felt like I did so much better in my third class after getting my breathing under control and after time, you don't even realize how much you're sweating!

Saturday afternoon my brother and his girlfriend Brittany came over and we all went out for a nice lunch in Cambridge.

Saturday night was a blast. My mom had a Silpada Jewelry/Thirty One Gifts/Passions Party and it was so fun! My mom and Eric have so many great friends in their neighborhood and in Cambridge which made the party such a great time! My mom is amazing and is letting me get some of her free jewelry, thanks mom! I also got a couple of really cute bags from Thirty One and I can't wait to get all my cool stuff! :)

On Sunday my mom and I did a little shopping a target for some new shelving units for our basement remodel. I haven't posted any pictures of it on here yet, but once it's finished I'll have a whole post about it! We're getting the carpet installed on Monday so I'm hoping by the end of the month it's complete!

All in all, another great weekend and I hope my mom had a great Birthday with all her friends and family!

Bikram Yoga

Let me start off by saying I don't think I've ever sweat as much in a workout as I have while doing Bikram Yoga. Has anyone every tried it? My good friend Rose got my mom and I hooked on it when I went to visit her in Milwaukee a couple of weekends ago.

Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 poses that are practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees and the class lasts 90 minutes! Can you tell why I said I've never sweat so much in my life?

For anyone looking for a great workout, this is amazing! There is only one Bikram certified studio in WI and that's the one we went to in Milwaukee however there are also yoga studios all over that off "hot" yoga which will sometimes be the same 26 postures as the Bikram Yoga. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good workout and to gain more flexibility.

Rose, my mom and I went to the class Saturday morning and then we went to a cute little bakery in Milwaukee for lunch. We had delicious sandwiches and got a few treats to take home!

On Sunday we went to class again before I headed home and I must say, I love this yoga class! The only disappointment for me is that the closest yoga studio I've found to me that offers the class are the Bikram certified studios up in the cities. I'm going to try to make it to a class a couple of times a month because it's that great of a workout! If anyone wants to go to a class in the cities, I'd be up for it anytime :)

Project Scrap 2011

So for anyone who has been reading our blog they know I've gotten into digital scrapbooking and follow the Shabby Shoppe Blog and use their products! They've started something called Project Scrap 2011. The idea behind this was to make an attainable scrapbooking goal that would be fun to do! The basics include taking 2 pictures a week, per month and at the end of the month you'll have enough pictures to make a two page spread. They are providing templates for the pages so all you need to do are plug in your papers, embellishments and pictures and create your page!

Enough of my babbling, check it out here for yourself! If you've ever thought about getting into digital scrapbooking, you should check out their kits and tutorials! They even have a few free kits that you could play around with to make sure you like it :) I've really enjoyed it and think it's a fun hobby!! Anyway, here are my pages for January.


Christmas Party in January

We had Jeremy's work Christmas Party on Friday night and we had a great time! We started off with dinner at The Hubble House in Mantorville, MN. It's a really neat restaurant that we've ate at a couple of times and every time we've had delicious food and our food was awesome again this time!

After dinner we went to a comedy show at the Kahler hotel in Rochester, MN. The headline comedian was Dave Mordel and he was pretty funny! I'm come to really enjoy going to comedy shows, they are so funny but I guess that's the point right? There is a comedy club in Rochester and I'm thinking that we need to try to make it there more often. A good dose of laughter is a necessity!
