One Sentence Weekend!

This weekend was filled with so many fun, wonderful moments!

On Friday, Josh gave me the Mother's present (and beautiful card!) that he made...

I also worked hard on my PT exercises! I didn't take pics, so I will show these to you very soon! :)

Saturday, I made a really yummy smoothie!

Ingredients: 1/2 cup raw kale, 1/4 blueberries, 1 banana, 1 1/2 cups vanilla almond milk and 1 1/2 tbsp. Bee Pollen! Blend and serve!

I am loving Bee Pollen these days and you can find a few of my other smoothie recipes HERE!

Sunday, I woke up to breakfast in bed and these gorgeous flowers!!

We went out for Mother's Day dinner and I loved every bit of my meal - from the beet salad...

to the fresh, crunchy green beans...

and then the amazing, seafood pasta - YUM!!!

We had so much fun laughing (Megan trying on Nana's sunglasses!)...

We toasted each other and motherhood...

We loved the restaurant - great food and excellent service! Go HERE next time you are in Malibu!

After dinner, we took a quick jaunt over to the beach (one of my favorite beaches!!), for some sunset family photos...

The kiddos loved having Nana and GRANDPA to play with (my Dad is here visiting!! Are you following me on Instagram? :)

A sweet picture taking moment with the best Mom in the whole world!!

Three weeks since my knee surgery and everything is good! I am so ready to start running again, but I know I have to be patient!  I have a ways to go - three more weeks in this brace and zero pressure on the knee and then six more weeks in another brace before I can start running again. I am icing many times a day as there is still a lot of swelling in the knee. When I do the PT exercises, I am able to incorporate sit ups into the routine and I started lifting weights for my upper body. Slowly, but surely getting there!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and cheers to a great week!
