Whew, it's been a while since we've chatted! I have to admit one minute I think I'm losing my mind, yet at the same time, am loving all of this fun stuff going on. There are times (like tonight) I ask myself what the hell I'm doing filling my schedule this way, then I head off to barre class and sweat it away. I leave feeling refreshed and ready to go. So, what do I do with all of this energy? Bake, of course. I'm baking tonight, in addition to blogging.

and trying new recipes with my dehydrator.
Someday I'll learn to take a breather, but until then.....

Here are some fun pics of things I did during my birthday week:
Successfully brewed and bottled my first batch of Kombucha (strawberry and peach!)
Enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner on the lake with my wonderful husband. (I really was happy that night, despite the way the picture makes me look!)
Bought myself a food dehydrator (instead of jumping out of an airplane like I had intended....mini-deal with the hubs, since I have less chance of dying from a food dehydrator, he agreed). Here is my first batch of homemade (and RAW) granola! De-lic-ious!
Tried accupuncture for the first time, and have had a surge of energy ever since. I'm going back tomorrow for round two!

Went SUP-ing (stand up paddleboarding) for the first time. This was huge because I have a MAJOR fear of drowning. The whole drive there I was antsy and nervous, but once I got the hang of it I fell in love. It was so peaceful. After our lesson, my husband and I just paddled around the lake, for a good 40 minutes or so, and had such a wonderful morning. We talked and caught up, just had some quiet time.
Him, me and nothing but the breeze. It was one of the most peaceful mornings I've had in a long time. I'm looking forward to going back in a couple weeks, and will definitely be doing more of this next summer!
It's been busy, but then again, it's always busy! The point is, in the midst of the bustling, to find time to enjoy the small stuff. I challenge you this week to try something new, take some time for yourself, recharge and re-energize!
You deserve it!!
