I heart this post! I grew up in MN!!! And although I could never deal with that weather again, and San Diego & SoCal will always be home now, I never forget MN and my family is all still back up there. If it wasn’t for the weather, it’s such an awesome place
Thanks for these great pics and giving me a little taste of home, minus the windchill!
love this post
I live in MN (Roch) … the sunrises have been amazing lately–makes the snow/dreary it’s-still-winter feeling better.
P.s when I saw the photo of the muffins you posted I got wayy excited and went straight to your sight… When will you be posting them, I can’t wait!
Ummmm PLEASE link to those Target shoes! I’m in love and can’t find them on their site
Oh no! They were in a few weeks ago. They’re by Prabal Gurung for Target. I can’t find them on their site either, but maybe they are still in stores.
Ahah, I love looking through these photos!
Dang, makes me want to eat. AGAIN.
Love this post! You take awesome instagram photos! I totally love that Jillian DVD – well until I got hip problems from doing so many lunges. I did it almost everyday for a year then switched to running every other day then all the sudden got this weird thing called FAI. Awww I miss exercising =). Those muffins looks delicious!
