Have 10 minutes?! Check this out

My amazing husband got me a treadmill for my birthday years ago (best gift ever- not exaggerating), however with a toddler it's getting harder and harder to do cardio while she is with me. I don't know about anyone else but when I am trying to do cardio at home she feels that it is necessary to jump on the treadmill with me while I'm running; she has no fear!

I will be the first one to say I'm not going to slave away at the gym or pay a ridiculous amount of money on a gym membership. I will do some cardio while Bella is sleeping, or after I put her to bed at night! As far as toning I am obsessed with Popsugar Fitness; they have everything from 5-30 minute videos for every level with Pilates, full body toning, target areas and so much more!

Popsugar Fitness :: one of my favorite workouts

If you have 10 minutes in the morning put on a video and get to moving, not only will you boost your metabolism first thing in the morning but also you just feel so much better! Have a great week!!! Start it off right... 

DIY Inspirational Quote

For the longest time we wanted to get matching furniture for our master bedroom. We finally indulged in a rustic style set. Our night stands were a lot larger than a normal nightstand (meaning more crap to pile up & dust to collect). 

Our golden retriever who thinks he is a human is a great site in your face at 7 a.m., but why not something inspirational? I decided to decorate my nightstand; one trip to hobby lobby and $20 later I had everything I needed. There are so many amazing sayings and quotes to chose from but I decided on one! 

What you will need::

Sheet of paper

Permanent marker 

11 x 14 frame (hobby lobby normally has them on sale for 50% off)

8 x 10 border ($2.99 at hobby lobby)

Small glass vase

Faux flowers of your choice 

Books 

You can use any type of quote and  any writing, I used a thick permanent marker because I liked the way it turned out on paper. Once you get that written out, frame it! And wa-la you have a piece of art that looks like something you bought at a over priced boutique. 

 

Now to decorating your nightstand! You always want a stand alone piece of inspirational art, flowers (faux ones work just as good & easier to maintain), a vase of your choice. I picked up one from Hobby Lobby for $2.50. Of course, books; you can use ones you have laying around or buy some you will eventually want to read. Last thing needed is a nice lamp in the empty space, I just haven't found one that I absolutely love! 

Good luck on your decorating!!!
