Can you believe that it’s almost January?! I still can’t believe that Christmas is over! We had an amazing Christmas-once I got over the whole “buyallthethings” issue. We did a small Christmas-everyone got great presents, but they were small, and you know what? It was so refreshing to not have loads of new toys and gadgets lying around!
I asked for Chiropractor visits. And that’s what I got…plus the Anniversary Edition of Gone With The Wind (my all time favorite movie and book!), which was an awesome surprise.
I got Ish this smoker/roaster and wood chips. It totally rocks. If you’re on a budget (I couldn’t afford a $200+ smoker!), you need to pick this up. So far we’ve only smoked wings, but I have big plans for a brisket next weekend!
What cool, thoughtful gift did you get?
It’s time to share my weekly workouts-you’ll notice that I did a lot of yoga this week. I just felt like my body needed to stretch. And, because each flow was different, I got a solid yoga flow each day that challenged different muscles.
