I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! And for those of you that are moms, I hope that you got to relax and had a great time doing whatever makes you happy! I definitely did and now I am stuffed to the brim with brunch, cocktails, cookies, a sushi dinner and frozen strawberry almond faux ice cream (from Fresh pressed juicer- it’s my favorite!) STUFFED.

And, have I told you all that I am heading to Greece one short month from now? I am so excited to get back to my favorite place on earth, where we get to spend two weeks with friends and family there. Then we are following it up with a week in Italy and we are going to show the kids where we got married in Tuscany almost 11 years ago! (Don’t worry we are going to be doing major coverage and already have lots of Facebook lives planned!) But I guess that the point is that this means 30 days from now I have to wear a bathing suit. In public. Which also means that I am going to be including as many healthy and light recipes as possible over the next 30 days. Don’t worry, there is some juicy recipe stuff planned too (pizza and treats!) that I have stored up for you! Also, please GOD can you guys encourage me to exercise??!! I have one month to whip things into shape, and that is not looong.
