Workouts with wine y’all!! The workout you didn’t know you needed😂

As part of my exercise routine at home, it’s important to find someone I can “engage” with and keep me motivated. I love Cassey Ho and her Blogilates videos!

LMK what fitness guru you follow!

Skype | Communication tool for free calls and chat

Stay in touch! Free online calls, messaging, affordable international calling to mobiles or landlines and Skype for Business for effective collaboration.

During these tough few months we all crave human interaction. Thankfully it’s easy to keep in touch with those we care about now through the internet and video calls.

We’ve kept off Zoom and Houseparty due to hacking and the fact that information is being run through servers in China. Skype adheres to European and US security and privacy protocols.

So let’s keep on keeping on with the standing weekly Happy Hour calls! Cheers! Have you been partying and socializing through the internet? I want to hear about it!

I’m all for meditating, baking, and enriching the mind (clearly)!

But if you can’t have a good Quarantini...are you really living your best life? LOL

This is such a cute idea! Definitely a way to engage your mind and do something besides watch TV or stare out the window! 

I myself am a physical-book kind of person with a brimming bookshelf, but this is also perfect for a Kindle library!

Time to catch up on this list and read :) (See the original OP post here.) Are you reading anything interesting right now?? I’m open to suggestions.

Getting back into an exercise routine is T O U G H. Currently I’m focusing on walking/running because it gets me out of the house. 

Although I’ve run in the past, I’m NOT a runner. Plus, I prefer to run on a treadmill; and with our little neighborhood gym closed my only option is to pound the pavement. 

I found this nifty guide and thought I’d share it! I’ve been alternating running and walking anyway, but now I’ll start timing myself. ( Check out the full OP post here.) Are you a runner? Did you start off by doing something like this?

10 Organizing Tips from Marie Kondo That Will Change Your Life in Minutes

Do you really need all that stuff? Here's the Organizing Queen's best advice.

I know it says tackle categories, not rooms...my closet has been staring me down for WEEKS!

I think it’s time to tackle this beast (again). Anyone else having this problem? It seems it can never stay nicely organized. I know nobody is accepting donations right now, but we can at least sort them out now and take them down when the world opens up again.

Lemon Blueberry Bread with Lemon Glaze | Baker Bettie

This Sour Cream Blueberry Bread is a quick bread that can be in the oven in just about 10 minutes! It comes out moist and tender and is so easy to prepare!

Literally made this super-easy fruit loaf three times in three days. Everyone loves it!  I used thawed frozen berries and it worked perfectly.

A little bit of sweetness can brighten up the day, and serves as a welcome distraction from the daily droll.

Are you bored out of your mind too?? After months of saying I’ll “get back to exercising...tomorrow”, now we’re stuck at home and I have no other excuses. 

I finally have gotten back into a routine and try to hit my goal every day (8k) after noticing my two weeks being a couch potato sometimes barely got me past 1500.

Tracking my steps is OK, but now I want more! Finding out just how much my exercise tracker can do is next on my list.  What fun activities are you doing that get you off the couch?

Easy Homemade Mac and Cheese Recipe (Stovetop)

This Easy Homemade Mac and Cheese Recipe is made with 6 ingredients in 15 minutes on the stovetop (no baking required)! Ditch the box for this irresistibly creamy, smooth & cheesy homemade recipe!

I made this yummy mac & cheese today! The only pasta left in the aisle when we went was macaroni elbows (thank God). Pretty simple and really tasty, done quickly - the perfect low-maintenance comfort food during this craziness.

Hoping I can find some lasagna next time we venture out (masked). Finding that cooking and baking brings great stress-relief and makes me feel good!
