Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14th is my mom’s birthday – Happy Birthday Mom! My mom is the best because she birthed me (I was a very large baby) and the other red headed anomaly in my family, Michael.red head kids

She fed me well…messy eater

And raised me to be the questionable internet personality I am today. I knew that Communications degree would come in handy some day.SCAN0192

Happy Birthday Mom! I love you.IMG_5543 (800x533)

Here’s a fun workout to do on Valentine’s Day with a buddy.

1. Grab a friend, or Valentine or stranger that you’d like to be your Valentine.

2. Do these exercises 3 times.

3. Only eat the good candy, make it worth it.

dont call me fatQuestion: Do you like candy as a gift? Are you buying your own or taking it from the candy dish at work?

    I prefer my husband don’t get me candy (or flowers) for Valentines Day…that stuff can get expensive and I’d rather he buy me a kitchen appliance or something. 🙂

    I’m so picky when it comes to candy I hate receiving it as a gift. Making sure I can actually eat it first of all, and then making sure it’s a kind I even like. Yeah, I’m the worst person to buy a gift for!

    I’d rather get flowers than chocolate. Candy doesn’t really excite me, I like my sweets in baked good form, ideally with ice cream on top.

    I hate candy as a gift; however, I am a-ok with buying it for myself. I am not sure what the difference is! I plan on buying a Valentine’s Day treat tomorrow when everything is marked down 50%. 😉

    My husband and I know the way to each others’ hearts is through the stomach! Beef Jerky and chocolate raisins for him and Reese’s Pieces and m&ms for me. We don’t go all out for Valentines Day, but something sweet to eat makes us both happy.

    That video was just the highlight of my morning. I *love* the high five planks!! And when you’re in the side plank and you say, “tummy in, squeeze the butt” Matt responds with, “yep!” So cute.

    My husband is a boob about Valentines Day. He figures that once you’re married you have your anniversary, so I go all out for my kids. I did buy myself some chocolate covered strawberries last night though : )
