Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! Hard to believe that it's been one year exactly since we graduated law school and our mom's were both here to cheer us on.  

I have so many things I want to say about my mom today but the words turn to tears too quickly.  I am so eternally grateful to have this woman as my beacon, my rock, my shining star, my heroine, my inspiration. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for choosing me to be her daughter and her to be my mama.

Things to give up to be happy.

I loved Katie's thoughts on living in the moment.

And what you might have missed: Monday Motivation, my spring picks from Target, and a little Zumba workout for you.

What do you have planned for the weekend?  K and I are seeing Iron Man 3 tonight and going to see the Twinkies play tomorrow!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Zumba Zumba Zumba.

It's no secret I love Zumba.  I credit Gina at The Finessista for inspiring me to give the class a try.  I've been going regularly for over a year now and it is by far my favorite way to work out! I even kicked around getting certified to teach Zumba this winter. Maybe someday! However, I've missed my favorite class for a couple weeks now because of work.  But I love my job, especially after we had a Zumba instructor come in on Monday and teach us a class!

Anyway, when I can't make it to class, I will sometimes dance at my house using the Zumba songs from class or a compilation of YouTube videos to get my jam on.  

I can never share enough about Zumba so I thought I'd try to put a quick little "class" together for you! Enjoy!

 

 

  

Sweating?  Smiling?  Good.

A Target Spring

Winter has lasted forever here in Minnesota (seriously, snow in May in just ridiculous) and last week when we got a couple days of sunshine, I decided to spring for a little Target shopping spree. Here's what I found, all for under $45 (I love me some Target sales/clearance)!

one/two/three/four

I love my funky little purse. It's totally outside the box of my "normal" style but I'm trying to embrace color these days.  As for the t-shirt, I live in these.boyfriend shirts. Day to day, gym, bed, work...I love all the shirts. As for the nail polish, this turquoise/teal color is probably my favorite color ever.  It's my grandma's favorite too which I think is kind of special.  And these shoes...I'm trying to embrace heels which is new for me but I'm loving the height!

Anyway, have you had any good finds from Target lately?

Target obviously didn't compensate me for this but I wouldn't hate it if they did!
