Feels like spring

Phew, this week is flying by. It's one of those weeks where you feel like you haven't had a second to sit and gather your thoughts, you know? We've just been busy! It's been good, and I really do like being busy, but I haven't been able to catch up on This Is Us yet or spend any time just vegging out! This weekend, I have zero plans, which is amazing. I plan to conquer my to-do list, spend some time working on spring cleaning, organizing my closet, cleaning out my car, and planning some outfits for next week. It definitely feels like spring here in Michigan right now and I'm kind of loving it, even though it's just SO weird!

Last Friday night

Happy Monday! Did you all have a good weekend? We really did... but on the other hand, it was just a strange weekend. I mean, we live in Michigan. February should mean blizzards, and below 0º temperatures, and huddling up indoors with Netflix and your coziest blanket. But not this February weekend... we were out and about enjoying the sunshine and 60º temps, grabbing iced coffee, riding with the windows down, heading to the beach to walk the pier with Winny, and only wearing a light jacket instead of our usual fur-hooded parkas! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love this weather, it just feels wrong to love it right now, if that makes any sense at all.

February uniform

Did you guys have a good Valentine's Day? We were supposed to cook a meal at home, but I got out of work a little bit late, and Eric was playing a show later, so we decided to head out to dinner. Nothing fancy! We grabbed some sandwiches and salads. I'm trying so hard to stay on my healthy kick, even though I'm not seeing the results I was hoping for so far. It's a slow process, and it only gets slower the older I get, that's for sure. But! The key is not giving up, so today is always my start over day and that's exactly what I'm doing. Begin again, and again, if you have to!

February is quickly becoming my new favorite month... just kidding! I really do love the sunshine we've been getting lately though. It's so pretty and mood-lifting! Plus, it's still light out by the time I get out of work... which is life changing for the blog. So hello! How was your weekend? Ours was pretty good! We didn't do a lot, but it was productive. I got two sets of photos taken, ate super healthy, cooked most of our meals, ran twice for 5K training, completed all of my weekend chores, and settled into the sofa for the Grammys on Sunday night. Lovely, simple weekend.

Coffee run

We're halfway through February... so close to spring, and yet so far away it feels like! I really do love winter, but I definitely start to crave spring this time of year. The groundhog has officially called six more weeks of winter, and I'm loading up on all the warm coffee, cozy blankets on the sofa, and chunky cardigans. I'm trying to just enjoy this season of life right now though. Spring will be here before we know it, and now is the time to enjoy these quiet, cold nights, get to the gym as much as possible, and cook all of the hearty (and healthy) meals.

February small goals

I’ve been inspired lately by a fellow blogger who does these posts every month, so first, I just want to credit Nicole of Writes Like A Girl. I’m slightly obsessed with her right now. It’s refreshing to fangirl over someone who is genuine, honest, real, kind, relatable, stylish and absolutely rockin’ it (in my personal opinion). I started to follow along with her last year, and now her blog is the first I check in my Bloglovin’. She’s just an inspiring gal, and if you don’t follow along with her already, I say do that first. Here are my small goals for February to get closer to BIG goals! These could be related to the big goals, or just things I want to accomplish this month.
