The Sunshine State

I am officially back in the Old North State after a fabulous 4 days of Florida sunshine!  My husband's family live in Florida, and we cherish every sunshiny moment when we get the opportunity to go visit them!  Unfortunately, we do not get to visit NEARLY as often as we would like:/

While visiting, we partook in the annual family football draft, and also ate our body weight in foods that normally don't make an appearance in our house!  Needless to say, I have got some work to do now that we are home!  My yummy green smoothies are on the "detox" menu for this week, and I am super excited to share that recipe with you tomorrow! 

Other food items on the "Clean Up my Act" Menu are:

 

Rice Cakes with Peanut Butter

Celery and Carrot Sticks with Hummus

Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

Egg Whites, Turkey Bacon, and Toast

Peaches

Blueberries

Fiber Bars

Green Smoothie



 

FOOTBALL SEASON IS FINALLY ALMOST HERE!!

2012 ECU Football Season-Arrrggh!!

At the Newman's, we love football!  We have our ECU season tickets lined up, and are so ready for NFL football to get going.  At the family draft, I grabbed up the Packers and Falcons.  Finger's crossed!

My teams!

And as wonderful as it is to get away and see family, it is also wonderful to come back home to our own little family-this morning I woke up to see sweet Jax asleep on my robe:)  I love this dog!!  We also have had two showings on our house since I last blogged, and we are feeling hopeful!  I would love to be able to blog about finally moving after having the house on the market for so long.
