1. I’M WATCHING: Wimbledon and Tour de France. I’m on sports overload right now. Such a happy clam. These past few weeks I have seen some of the most exciting tennis – Nadal’s mind boggling loss, Murray losing his balls, Fed pulling a pro comeback…tennis at it’s best.
2. I’M READING: The ‘Busy’ Trap: Idleness is not just a vaca, it’s as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body. It’s a fantastic read from The New York Times. You’re not too “crazy busy” to read it.
3. I’M PINNING: The hus has a huge 24-hour mountain biking race (relay team) this weekend. I am going to be a good wifey and whip up some No Bake Energy Bites.
4. I’M LISTENING TO: Chris Brown – Don’t Wake Me Up. A perfect run/workout song.
5. BIG Special K Granola Bar Giveaway Winner: High fives to those bold enough to go with the inflatable whale as a way to beat the summer heat. Our big winner of the tasty prize is Abby! (email me with your deets girl!)
How are you extending your holiday week into the weekend?
I am obsessed with those No Bake Energy Bites. So easy to make and a great fuel for a long run (or bike ride). Oh, and oh-so-yummy!
My friends and I rented a boat for tomorrow. So excited to soak up this crazy heat wave (we are suppose to reach 106* today….IN MICHIGAN!) on the lake!
Hope you have a great weekend:-)
They are now my fave thing to make, such an easy recipe to remix a lot.
Boat, yeaaass. Adore Lake Michigan, jealous! Have a great time.
No-bake cookies were my favorite in the tween years – it was “safe” cookie dough/brownie batter cousin that we could eat all night long!
These little balls look perfect.
TdF overload is the BEST part of July!
Safe cookie, ha! That’s my new term.
A 24hr. bike race…Is that something like the biking version of Ragnar? What a good wifey you are, those bites look delish!
I have to admit, I can’t get into tennis…mostly because I have no clue what’s going on! Cheers to your weekend, enjoy the sports galore
I had to google Ragnar, there are tons of series out there. All of which are equally insane to me:)
I think some people watch Wimbledon like people pay attention to big finals, you can’t help but get sucked in.
It’s been an amazing few weeks with all of the sporting events on t.v. I’m excited that just after the tour the Olympics will be starting up!
I know!! So much awesome this summer. Makes you want to get out there and kick some a**.
One of my best friends is a HUGE tennis fan so I’m trying to get into it, too. I no absolutely nothing about the sport though so it’s a slow process.
After a short hiatus I’m back to pinning stuff like mad. My grocery list is INSANE. I think I need to tone it down a bit.
It’s super easy to learn, promise!
Pinning leads to all sorts of shopping:)
Those energy bites look pretty awesome…I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t do well at containing myself to just one or two, though.
I’m SO excited I won!! Thank you!!!
How did the husband’s race go? That sounds like fun!
