yum

energy bites...aka...yummy balls!!!!

a friend of mine found this amazing little recipe on pinterest and it has become a staple in my house for the last month.  yummmmmmmm!!!!!!

here is the original recipe found on pinterest, but i have made a few changes each time i make them.

these taste fabulous with almond butter instead of peanut butter, chia seeds instead of flaxseed, agave nectar instead of honey, and carob chips instead of chocolate chips!!!

we are in love with them at work and there the name was changed to yummy balls!!!!  

enjoy

monday loves...whoaaaaa

hello sunny monday morning!!!  so happy to see the sun after the clouds covered our sky for the last week or so.  life has been a little crazy around here as school comes to an end next week and the activities of summer are filling our minds.  we only have about 13 saturdays in our summer up here in alaska, so, as you can imagine, each one of them is sacred.  i have so many things i would like to share with you, its just finding the time to sit and type on the computer.  heres to a new week and a happy sunny monday loves to you all.

here are some pics from our walk to the river a few weeks ago.  the snow is all melted now and the birds are chirping...such a wonderful sound after a LONG winter.

monday loves...life lately

life has been full of all sorts of stuff lately. the above picture is of my husband and i at my work weekend party.  we go to a small little artsy town about an hour and a half away, stay at a hotel thats right on the ocean with amazing views, have dinner, and laugh ALOT!!!!  i work for an amazing family who takes such good care of me.  i work full time, but i don't miss any of my kids events.  i am so grateful!  

speaking of the kiddos...they are keeping us running all over the place.  our daughter is a competitive gymnast working out 15 hours a week.  she is so focused and loves what she does.  i admire her dedication and hard work.  

my husband is coaching our sons indoor soccer team right now and then shortly he will start a competitive soccer league.  

spring is in the air and i have been outside walking with my workout friend. it has been so nice to see the ground again and feel the warmth of the sunshine.  i have been waiting for this for too long, so glad it is finally here!!!

i am trying some new recipes that i will share soon.

hope you are all doing great...happy monday!!
