Fun Facts Friday {2/6}

By Courtney 39 Comments

1. I decided to switch up my workouts a bit this week and ended up doing this old circuit workout on Tuesday. All I can say is WOW…my legs are STILL sore. I think it’s about time to start breaking out the old circuits again. That was a doozy (in a good way!).

2. Oh Lucas. Yesterday when we got home from work/daycare, he kept pointing out to the snow and when I asked him if he wanted to go out in it I caved and said okay. I figure I need to take advantage of these moments, right? Wrong. I got him all bundled up in his gear, we went outside, and I immediately realized it was a bad idea when I set him down in the yard and it was up to his waist.

lucas snow

So we headed out to the shoveled front walkway, and right after this picture was taken, he face-planted right into snow pile you see him pointing at. I’m sorry, but it was hilarious. And then we went back inside.

3. This weekend has been dubbed a weekend of cleaning and organizing. Jay and I actually don’t have too many plans, which is fine by me, so we’re planning on tackling the monstrosity that is our basement. You guys remember that, right? We’ve got our work cut out for us, that’s for sure.

4. Yesterday was the first time that I’ve worn the corduroys that I received in my December Stitch Fix, and I was so surprised at how many comments and compliments I got on them!

5. I got some of the sweetest packages in the mail from blog friends/readers this week. I’ll tell ya, I am one lucky person.

Thank you so much, Jessica for the goody box and Jamie for the foil print!

6. Please tell me you guys have seen the Saved by the Bell skit that was on Jimmy Fallon earlier this week? Was that not hilarious or what?!

7. Did you guys know yesterday was World Nutella Day? I had no idea either, until I saw some posts on Instagram so, obviously, I had to jump in on the fun.

Long time readers may remember my Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies! They’re from way back in the archives, but they’re still stinkin’ delicious.

8. I swear, if I could have one talent that I could be awesome at (or even just not awful at) it would be singing. I’d love to be able to have a singing voice that could be shared somewhere other than my car when I’m solo. Funny enough, sometimes when I’m singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” to Lucas at bedtime I think, “Hey, maybe I’m not that bad?” but then I smarten up and realize no, I’m definitely an awful singer.

9. A few weeks ago, I received an awesome package in the mail from Van’s. They have a few new products out on the shelves now, including gluten free pastas and granola.

van's pasta and granola

I haven’t had the chance to try the pastas yet, but all three flavors sound incredible and I’m thinking we may need to incorporate one into our meal plan for next week.

I can, however, speak on behalf of the granola…this stuff is freakin’ delicious.

van's granola

It’s different from your typical granola…it’s got a soft, chewy texture, almost like soft, no-bake cookies maybe? Either way, it’s out of this world and has been proving to be an awesome snack both right out of the bag and on top of yogurt.

van's granola

Thanks again, Van’s!

10. I was cleaning out some old photo frames last weekend and ended up coming across this old modeling picture of mine from way back (probably 2006-2008 if I had to guess?).

geisha girl

How creepy is that, right?! I remember it taking forever for them to do the makeup on my face and the butterflies were actually real. Crazy!

Okay my friends, that’s all I’ve got for ya today…I’ll likely catch ya on Sunday with some meal planning action. What’s on the agenda for all of you guys this weekend? Doing anything fun or exciting??

    I had to laugh when you mentioned your singing voice. Within the past couple of weeks, when I sing to my daughter at bedtime, she thinks it's hilarious. I'm afraid she is thinking, wow, my mom makes the funniest voices, when really, I think I am singing in my best Carrie Underwood voice ;)

    I can't get over that modeling photo! That's crazy! Doesn't even look like you! Lucas is the cutest thing, I only wish you had a photo of the face plant. And I had no idea it was national Nutella Day until I saw (too late) where you posted it on Instagram. Think it's still ok to celebrate today? ;-)

    Yesterday my four month old started crying and I started singing Party Rockers and he immediately stopped and started laughing. No clue where the song came from, but it did the trick! Haha!

    Can't lie…that modeling photo kinda scared me. I mean, it is beautiful and you look beautiful, but it just looks nothing like you! But isn't the sign of a good model that she can transform into any character? And the Jimmy Fallon skit was the best thing I have seen in a long time!!

    It's so funny--I looked at the picture and knew instantly that it was you, but I had to double check--that is crazy! Van's pasta sounds like it could be great--can't wait to hear what you have to think. I'm obsessed with granola right now--hence my post today. Have a great weekend and be careful there little Lucas!

    That picture is too funny! What in the world was it advertising for or what effect were they going for? My roommate was dipping pretzel sticks into her peanut butter jar and then into her Nutella jar last night, and we didn't even know it was National Nutella Day! I'm actually not a Nutella fan, but I'll have to tell her :)

    Hi Court! Oh snow looks like fun. I hope to really experience it one day! No snow in SF right now, but we do have rain. Funny thing - I'm actually wearing corduroys right now, which is a rare thing for me. I've got some relaxing and a couple dinner dates planned for the weekend. Have a good one! :)

    My fun (and random) fact for today: My husband and I are going away to Wildwood for the weekend with a bunch of his cousins in July. Do you want to know what makes me most excited about the trip?? That we WILL be going to the ice cream place that I have seen you talk so highly about there. You better believe that I already informed my husband of this necessary ice cream stop! haha :-) I will have to review your posts about the place to help me decide what to get when we go there! :-) Have a great weekend. :-)

      Ohh, how FUN!! Yes, definitely hit up the Seashell (although I'll admit, I wasn't as impressed by the flavors I got the last time). Enjoy!!
