My Fave Salad

My Favorite Mid-Week Salad

 

I like to do Pure Barre on Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday. On Monday and Wednesday, I do Pure Barre at 530, and end at 630. By the time I get home, I'm starving.

There is a little delay in my post this week. I have been so tired lately, I guess the honeymoon phase of my pregnancy is over. 3pm naps are now normal!

I received a call on 4/1 (not an April Fool's Joke) that I was invited to be in the audience at the Ellen's 1st time expectant moms Mothers Day Show. SOOO EXICITED, I CANT WAIT FOR MAY!! I was shaking and jumping up and down. I am so thrilled and feel so blessed to get one of 300 spots.
