You probably know how I will start this one.  I’ve been so busy, blah blah blah, but seriously, I haven’t stopped home for longer than 4 days for a few weeks now.  Last Thursday we headed out to Utah to visit Erik’s family in Park City, attend the University of Utah football game, and visit with one of my bestest down in Salt Lake City.  It was a busy and very eventful weekend, filled with beautiful scenery and great times.  Here are a few snaps from the weekend!  Enjoy

{ tailgating, no more pics for Erik? }

And I cannot forget to share the little Princess’s birthday picture and give her a shout out.  Happy birthday to the cutest, sweetest dog ever!

Now Maca talk…

When I was taking off for my trip to Seattle, I posted a recipe to my new favorite smoothie.  I mentioned how I include Maca, and now I’ll give you a few reasons why you should consider incorporating this into your diet too!  Maca is used to:

• improve energy levels
• promote mental clarity –>brain function, memory
• hormone balance –> help you better deal with stress and anxiety
• help the body mentally and physically recover from daily stresses

For us ladies, it’s can also help with PMS and promote fertility.

Here is a good link further explaining the magical root.  I buy this dark mint one, it tastes delish in smoothies!!
