My Finds Friday – Link Up

Happy My Finds Friday!

My-Finds-Friday-228

Who else besides me is super excited to be here again? At Friday, that is. I can’t even say it was a bad week, I just love the weekends so much. I love spending the time with my family, even if we’ll be spending most of it packing. 🙂 Tomorrow is also Super Saturday at Sears, so we’ll be spending part of our afternoon at Sears buying a new washer and dryer for our new home. I’m actually really psyched about this! I’ve never owned my own washer and dryer and for some reason I feel really grown-up going out to buy a set.

So what’s on our agenda for the weekend? Not much. We’ll be packing, going to Sears (as mentioned above) and then grocery shopping on Sunday. Despite the packing, it should be a pretty restful weekend… love those!

Now – Time for My Finds Friday!

Top Three Blog Articles I’m Lovin’

  • Emmett’s a pretty active toddler, flying from one activity to the next, but he doesn’t seem to be too out of control. However, one day he may need a break and a chance to calm down, this “Calm Down” jar by Daily Mom is a fantastic idea. One I will be keeping in my back pocket for the future.
  • It’s not secret around these parts that I struggle with my eating. Part of the problem is my all or nothing mentality, in this article on Science-Based Medicine, it talks about the book The Diet Fix, and the logic behind it. There are no gimics or quick fixes (which we all know), but there is also no reason to cut certain foods out if you don’t have negative effects from them. This is definitely a book I will be looking into.
  • In the same vain, this article on Mind, Body, Green, discusses the phases in which you can completely eliminate sugar from your diet. It’s a quick read and very comprehensive.

Top Video of the Week

A friend of mine shared this video with me earlier in the week and the end had me crying, I was laughing so hard.

Top Recipe of The Week

This delicious Paleo breakfast casserole is something you should make this weekend. I made it Sunday and split it up and took it all week long. Super delicious! It tasted great with some hot sauce sprinkled on top, as well.

Top Workout of the Week

Okay, this isn’t a specific workout, but it is a workout timer that has shown to be very effective over the last couple of weeks. Twice a day a few of my co-workers and I have been meeting to do a certain exercise in the Tabata Format, and this app, Tabata-Timer is awesome! It works perfectly and is so simple to use. I recommend you download it and go down some Tabatas right now!

My Finds Friday

Time for another addition of My Finds Friday.

I hope by now you’re all out of work or nearly out of work, on this wonderful day that should be considered a holiday (each and every week).

This was a very busy and tiring week and honestly I can barely remember what I did each day. Not because I did nothing but because the days flew by in a blink and before I knew it I was in bed and my alarm was going off to start the new day. Yikes! I’m not a big fan of how quickly life is passing by but I don’t see it slowly down any time soon.

Alright, onto My Finds Friday, I hope you like this week’s finds!

(These are in no particular order.)

  • I’m going to start tonight right off with a motivational post. Lauren, at closer to 30, wrote the post, “Running: it’s not for everyone, but it could be.” She has some great tips on how to get into running, even if you’ve always thought that it wasn’t the sport for you. I recommend you check it out if you’re looking for some seriously good inspiration.
  • Here’s a hilarious article on Daily Life, titled Things Your Yoga Teacher Won’t Tell You and like it’s title it talks about everything your yoga teacher might think, but won’t say out loud. I laughed at more than one!

  • As I was recently promoted to a supervisory position, I’m constantly Googling and searching for great tips to be a better manager. I came across this one on Twitter, it’s an infographic all about What Makes Up a Successful Manager? There is some great info and some great insight.
  • All of our mornings are crazy but there might just be a way that you can cut down on the time it takes you and your family to get ready. Daily Mom’s Article, 5 Time Saving Tips For Your Morning Routine, might have some ideas you’ve never thought of before. My son’s only 1 but I never even thought about choosing 5 outfits for him on Sunday so that I can just grab and go in the morning, I’m hoping this will shave off some time.
Mmmmm... This food is good!

Mmmmm… This food is good!

My father-in-law sent us a flash drive of pictures of Emmett from his birthday party, I can’t wait to share them all with you!

Your turn!

Do you love Fridays as much as I do?
