 + i have been doing a 30-day plank challenge every morning, but I think I really should be doing these. talk about stepping up my game!

 + the gold iPhone. hilarious! 
+ everytime i say i'm done with fall decorating, i come across more diy projects i want to tackle, like this ombre pumpkin from Anna of IHOD. 
+ i can't stop thinking about the apple cider cinnamon sugar donuts from our picking trip, but since it is pumpkin season i figure i'd give these a whirl.

happy friday

{multigrain waffle with almond butter and agave, fresh apples + morning latte}

Happy Freaky Friday! The weekend is within reach. What are you all up to for the off days? All I'm looking forward to is relaxing {read: drink wine!} and we will wing the rest. You all know that's my favorite type of weekend. This week was emotionally draining after what happened in Boston. But in happier news, I took Noah to a Mommy & Baby Yoga Class this week and we had so much fun! I definitely recommend it for all you mommas with little ones. Bonus: a super tired baby by 7pm. For those of you who've asked, the juicing is going very well. I have lost *some inches and a few pounds since I incorporated it into my daily meals and am loving the way I am feeling. My skin definitely feels hydrated. I will be sharing a more detailed account in an upcoming post. For now, hope you all have a great weekend. See you back here on Monday.

Xx,

Rosa 

*combined with a healthy diet and exercise

Happy Friday! The weekend is within reach. I received my new running sneakers last week and finally got a chance to take them out for a run and they are amazing! I now know what I've been missing with a minimalist, lightweight running sneaker. What are the plans for the weekend? There is rain and snow in the forecast for tomorrow (I'm starting to sound like a broken record!) so we hope to get out and get some fresh air. We'll be channeling the Irish inside us all on Sunday, along with all of our Irish friends and people celebrating St. Patrick's Day! :) I hope to have soda bread (it's delicious!!) and it will be my first time tasting Green Beer (yeah, I know)...

Hope you have a GREEN BEER WEEKEND 

Xx,

Rosa

Happy Friday! We made it! Any plans for the weekend? Our plans depend on this Winter Storm that is expected for the Northeast today and tomorrow. If we get hit as hard as they are predicting, we won't be going anywhere anytime soon! 

   A look back at this week: 

• - the days are getting longer. have you noticed? i did, the other day, when walking back from yet another coffee run! it was nearly 5:30 and the sun was still out but barely. 
• - had lunch with good friends in the city and did some strolling through one of our favorite neighborhoods. 
• - outfit planning for Valentine's Day. we secured reservations at one of our favorite restaurants. Super excited!
• - tried a new banana pancake recipe. the hubby loved it! 
• - found this cute site that has so much pretty in one place! 
• - any of you follow the GIRLS series on HBO? i love lena dunham's character, hannah! i  am seriously addicted. 

Have a great weekend!

Who's ready for Super Bowl Weekend?! To be honest, I don't really follow or understand football but Larry does. He has tried futilely to explain the plays to me but I'm afraid it's fallen on deaf ears. I have been known to pick things up on my own time, so I'm not giving up hope. Growing up in a household where baseball was EVERYTHING, I was surprisingly a late bloomer in coming to love the sport. Now, I cannot get enough and hubby and I count down the months until Spring Season. I have faith that one year I'll be saying the same about football. Until then, I definitely don't mind watching Super Bowl even if it is just for the commercials {and food!}. Wherever your travels take you, have a blast of a weekend!
