Telluride Time:)!!

I am off for family vacation and very excited about changing zip codes!!!!  I have signed up at a local yoga studio for the two weeks and plan on creating my own retreat!!  The kids are also super excited to hike with us, go rafting, play golf, and go on a hot air balloon ride.  I am going to take advantage of being "away" to un plug a bit.  I plan on posting some of my favorite past posts while I am away:)  Stay tuned for pics form our family vacay when we return!!

BIndu Yoga Studio- OBSESSED

                                                                  
                                                        Local girls listen up!

 I have always had a great appreciation for yoga and enjoyed the practice.  However, I was unable to find a local class that provided a challenge with the peaceful afterglow I craved.  At last I have, Angel, owner and instructor of Bindu Yoga Studio is flat out FANTASTIC!!  You can check out her studio HERE .  If you happen to be in town this summer, treat yourself to an hour of bliss and rejuvenation:)  If not, be sure to put this on your fall schedule. Perfect for busy moms who need to take care of themselves so they can take care of everybody else.

Namaste

Flat Stanley


This is my son's Flat Stanley visiting The Sabine River in Texas.  I recommend this "project" to anyone home with kids this summer.  Macky did it last fall as part of his kindergarten class.  You and your kids will have such fun reading about Flat Stanley and then making your own to mail off for an adventure.  Ask each person to take pictures of Stanley and write about where they took him and then mail him back to you.  We waited so excitedly to receive Stanley back and read all about his trips!

You can find the book here at amazon

Some of Macky's classmates Stanley's visited the great wall  of China, New York, Costa Rica!!
What a GREAT way to teach your kids about new places!!!!!


xoxo
Enjoy your kiddos with this family fun time:),
I would love to see pics of YOUR Stanley

My FAVORITE item in my make up bag:)

Anyone else LOVE this stuff?  I have been using it since I was in High School and still LOVE it!
I  know should be covered in an amazing summer tan, however it has eluded me a bit due to work and the temperature in Florida.  It  simply prohibits prolonged time outdoors:(
But you better bet I am still glowing thanks to this old standby!!
