What a fun weekend!!

I have had such a fun weekend so far! The whole family (minus the hubby at work) volunteered to ring Salvation Army bells. (My brother would die if he knew this was on here) My race shirt from the morning soooo does not go with the apron. We had a lot of fun. You really can't judge who will or will not give or the amount by looking at people. It's quite the opposite of what you would think.

However, if you want to do something to teach your kids about the less fortunate this Christmas and have a really good time, call your local Salvation Army and volunteer to ring bells.

And, yes, I mentioned a race. The Bah Humbug 5K (what a fun name!). It benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and had a new venue this year. It ran through Antique Alley which is a really cool downtown area full of antique shops. It was a 2 loop course.

I was okay with my time (around 31:11). I am well aware that I can do better, but some calf and ankle problems coupled with too much alcohol the night before didn't go well together. But, I had fun, so what more could you want? I met up with a few people I knew beforehand and then went out for an awesome breakfast afterward.

I have made a new friend and here we are after the race was over. She also had a friend with her and this was her first EVER 5K. How fun!!

We went to IHOP afterwards and I ate the most amazing breakfast EVER. Nutella crepes with bananas inside and strawberries outside. I couldn't finish more than about half, but it was amazing!!

I also received some goodies in the mail this week. I ordered from Lift Your Sole on Monday when Tall Mom posted a Cyber Monday Sale. I ordered Monday and received on Thursday. Super fast! The necklace is gorgeous and very high quality. It came in a cute envelope with STICKERS too. How fun!

Here is the necklace. CUTE! There is a story here and when I can type it all out in detail without boo hooing (the kids are playing in the room with me right now) I will have to tell it.

I also ordered some Bondi Bands this week and they came super quick! They are cute as always.

I hope you are having a great weekend! :)
