4 Things

1.  Have you ever tried hot yoga?  I tried it for the first time recently and consider my mind blown and my body officially challenged.  It was so good and so hot and so hard, but all in the best kind of way.  I loved every second of it…even the hard as hell moments.  I was really nervous and intimidated to try because I’ve only done one yoga video ever, but I found out there was really nothing or anyone to be intimidated by.  Everyone in the class was in their own zone doing their own thing and there were all sorts of different people in the class too.  And the instructor Misty, sooooo good and kind.  The best.  I’m officially sold.  Locals if you’re looking for a class to try I totally recommend Misty’s classes.  You can check out her schedule HERE.

2.  Has anyone tried the 21 Day Fix app?  Lots of questions in this post today 🙂  I do not do diets.  I like food too much and that includes all foods, but I do love something that helps me keep my eating on target and in moderation.  I really loved the 21 day fix because it was more about making a long term change rather than a diet and there isn’t any food elimination.  It’s about eating real foods, moderation and exercising.  Ashley, Alissa and I are doing the workouts for all of January and then Ashley told me about the 21 Day Fix app.  You guys!!!!  It’s awesome and makes tracking your food so easy.  I have really loved using it and keeping up with what food I’m putting in my body.  I love the reminder of how many fruits, veggies, proteins, etc I need daily.  If you need a little something extra to help keep you accountable I totally recommend this app.

3.  Our Usborne Book Fundraiser is still going on.  Have you grabbed your books yet?  More questions.  We are seriously telling everyone.  I’ve put fliers in every teacher’s mailbox at our school, our sweet MDO sent home fliers to all the parents and we’re sharing like crazy on social media.  We would be so grateful if you’d help us spread the word.  This is such a fun and easy fundraiser.  To order just head over to SuzanneSharesUsborneBooks.com browse all the amazing books and make you selections.  As you check out you will be prompted to “Select An Event.”  Choose “Kelley Adoption Fundraiser.”  And check out.  That’s it.  Our family will receive 25% of your purchase to go towards our adoption fund.  Easy and awesome.  Tell everyone you know!!!!

And 4.  You may remember I used to Zumba…oh, those we’re the days.  Life got busy and I was unable to make it to classes, but I still keep in touch with our sweet instructor Janet.  Janet text me yesterday and said she wanted this little site and our sweet China boy to be the recipients of her January Zumba Party where locals help raise money for others.  And then I cried.  How kind and nice and thoughtful and generous and Janet never ceases to amaze me.  She made up fliers and everything.  We’re even wearing red and gold for Chinese New Year!!!!  So come join us for a sweaty dancing workout with Janet on Saturday, January 28 in Rivergate Mall from 4:30-6:30.  All money raised goes directly to help cover our adoption expenses.  Mark your calendars and check out all the details below.

This has been a good week.  Hard, but good.  God is faithful and mighty and I love meeting you guys again here in this space.  Thank you so much for reading and thank you even more for the prayers and encouragement.  Have an awesome weekend.

Happy Friday!
