High Five for Friday - Link up Vol. 11

Linking up for another weekly edition of...

 ONE. My new Gussy Sews medium zip pouch

I just love seeing that note - "YEOW! - you own a Gussy!" :P

TWO. Wild Harvest goodies came in the mail

Part of registering for The Healthy Living Summit consisted of receiving some freebies!!! Um, yes please! Hello Wild Harvest cherry vanilla granola, animal cookies, applesauce, black beans, peanut butter, mild peach salsa, ground ginger & ground cayenne pepper - and THANK YOU!!

THREE. Jumped 30 in. on my box jumps this week!

I promise, I'm not really one to brag on myself, but I was pretty excited about this one! Box jumping is probably my favorite part of a WOD (I know, I might be a little crazy!) :P
p.s. I think I definitely need the tank above, don't you?!

FOUR. Right around the same time as Lauren got her journal & blogged about it, I too found this 5-year journal and couldn't resist snatching it up...been slowly filling it up ever since

You answer 1 question a day for a year, then start all over again, answering the same questions again - for a total of 5 years. Then you get to go back and read it all once you're done..seeing how you've changed OR haven't changed and reminiscing about your life over the past 5 years. LOVE IT! <3 

FIVE. My best friend gave birth to her 2nd little girl this week...introducing Miss Zoey Blythe

 Is she not the cutest little thing...and in those hand mitts?! She is precious and I can't wait to meet her!

Thanks for checking out my 5 favorite things from this week & thanks for hosting Lauren!!

ALSO...did you check my video out that I posted yesterday?? Strong, amazing kids from Seattle Children's Hospital (hemoncology floor) rocking out to Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger"!

Gifts from Mama

I just had to give a shout-out to my lovely mother who is always sending me cool & thoughtful gifts!


For our anniversary, since the 1st year Anniversary gift is paper, my mother sent me this gorgeous eco-friendly idea journal:

And the coolest part...the cover is embedded with wildflower seeds, so you can actually remove the cover when you're done and plant it! How freakin' cool is that?!

Plus, the journal is made of 100% post consumer waste paper! Their theory "If you think you write and if you should think & write you will most certainly grow!" So neat! Check them out here

AND, since my bday is coming up :) My mother added to my already-growing Friends DVD collection!

Seasons 4 & 5

My collection thus far! It's a growing...

Thanks Mom!! Isn't she the greatest?!
