lately {7}

all of these pictures were taken during the best time of the year - christmas break. so to say this is what we've been up to lately would kind of be a lie. because lately we are back to work. back to filling up gas tanks every week. back to grocery shopping on a budget. back to waking up early. back to the grind. but lately things feel different. in a good way too. because lately i've been more spiritually driven. & i like it! lately i've been working out with karena & katrina. since my gym membership ended in november i've really missed the push to stay physically active. lately i've been reading lots of new blogs & you all are so inspiring. i've even got new sponsors! Check em out: Jane Caroline, 23Seventeen, Anne the Adventurer, Heather Marie, & Kelsey
