Rise & shine pretty girls – IT’S FRIDAY!!

ONE – Valentine S’more Mix.  Don’t make it.  It’s dangerous.  But, your kids will love you.  A yummy snack mix without the messy s’more aftermath.  This snack mix is the traditional flavors of graham cracker + chocolate + marshmallow with a twist.

• Vanilla cupcake Goldfish Crackers
• Valentine’s M&M’s
• Mini Marshmallows

When I saw the cupcake flavored fishy crackers, my wheels started turning.  I’m not a fishy cracker girl, but holy cow – these cupcake fishy’s are legit.  Good luck saving some for your kiddos 🙂

TWO – Ash Wednesday was this week.  Bailey stated attending Faith Formation classes a few years back.  She’s making her way through the seven sacraments.  Since beginning Faith Formation, we’ve made Ash Wednesday a tradition.  This year we asked each other what we thought the other should give up for lent.  I thought Bailey should give up her beloved flavored water.  Not very happy with my answer, she then through back at me, “well then, I think you should give up your favorite drink.”  My heart stopped.

“WINE!!”  Whattttt?  Noooooo?  I’ve been limiting my intake for the last 6 weeks with BRIK and I have been looking forward to a little extra vino in my near future.  Then she shattered all my future plans.  Wine it is:(  It’s going to be a looonnngggg 44 days, let me tell ya.  Wine, my dear friend, until we meet again…it’s been real!!

THREE – Ladies of the big D // The Real Housewives of Dallas Prove Everything’s Bigger in Texas — Including the Drama.  My girlfriend Alex tagged me in their FB announcement yesterday.  We both have a Real housewife addiction.  What’s one more show on the DVR?  We need to plan a season premier party!!

Read this shit, it’s going to be good:

Pack your cowboy boots and 10-gallon hats because The Real Housewives of Dallas is coming to Bravo this spring! The newest Real Housewives installment will follow five Texas women as they navigate the exclusive social circles of the famed city. And your new ‘Wives are: Cary Deuber, former East Coaster and medical professional, actress and Texas native Tiffany Hendra, “girl next door” and charity maven Stephanie Hollman, one-time pageant princess LeeAnne Locken, and former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Brandi Redmond, as well as friend Marie Reyes, who also has a passion for charity. In Dallas, it’s all about negotiating between the worlds of the old money and the new money, but no matter where you fall, know that this Texas city likes to live life loud. And you’ve been warned: Everything’s bigger in Texas.

The Real Housewives of Dallas premieres April 11 at 10/9c. Check out a preview above

FOUR –  Isn’t this swimsuit super cute?  You’ll never guess where it’s from?  I ordered it this week.  Fingers crossed it look that cute on me…lol 🙂

FIVE – This morning was my last 5am Amplify BRIK workout.  I bet this is only 1/2 of the 5am girls.  It’s a full house.  This photo was taken after our fit test on Thursday morning….we were sweaty and exhausted.  Can’t wait to continue next Monday with the start of CORE Up & Out.

Have a  fab weekend and soak in as much of this beautiful weather + sunshine as possible 🙂  Come back Monday for {weekend notes}
