Things I Love Thursday 2.0

After a two day snow break, I'm up early this Thursday (it is 23 degrees outside!!) rushing around to get back to my kiddos. Lucky for me, I only have two days back at school before another long weekend! One of my Christmas gifts from Rob was a weekend in New Orleans surrounding our race on Sunday. We're staying at a fancy hotel and eating at all kinds of delicious places! I can't lie - I'm totally excited to indulge after 13.1 miles on Sunday. Please say a little prayer because the weather forecast is showing lots of rain for our race. I just don't think that I can run my best in freezing rain, and we've worked SO hard to prepare for the race that it will be devastating to have to miss it or end up with a bad time!

Anyway...here are some things that I love this week:

1.

Can you imagine eating marshmallows with your favorite Instagram pictures on them? I want to get some just because they make me giggle! Click here: InstaMarshmallows

2. Speaking of marshmallows, last week at school we had a teacher luncheon and one of the teachers made these:

Can we collectively say Mmmmmm???

3. I'm obsessed with the idea of seeing these castles. Anyone up for a trip?

4. In preparation for the Divergent movie, I decided to finish the series and read Allegiant. It has been while since I read the first two books, so I felt lost and disinterested the entire book. I pushed through and finished it, but I quickly went back to Divergent and reread that one. I'm almost through with Insurgent, and I honestly still feel bored by Allegiant.  I looked up reviews, and apparently everyone is feeling the same way about the book. Any thoughts?

5. I NEED THIS PRINT. Today. Actually, yesterday. Our built-ins are slowly coming together, but they still feel so empty. I just want to buy all the gold things in the world and fill them up. Overdramatic much? Never.

6. Speaking of gold things that I need, THIS is at the top of my Valentine's Day/Anniversary gift wish list. ROB, I AM TALKING TO YOU. Anyone who knows me knows that terrariums are among my favorite things in the universe. This geometric shape + gold + terrarium = HEAVEN. Seriously. 

7. In preparation for my race, I've been remembering how far I've come on this weight loss/get healthy journey. I want to do a big post all about it next week, but for now, go follow my friend on facebook here: This Mom is Losing It. She has an AMAZING journey that I know will inspire you! 

...And that's all, folks. :) It's time to face these temps like a champ because I have 22 Kinder babies who need lots of hugs to stay warm today! Have a lovely day! :)
