Fall Porch Décor–Pumpkins Galore

Didn’t want to go too crazy with this year’s fall porch décor.

Nah

Last time I made my own glaze, painted pumpkins, crafted up some fall themed tea lights.

Yeah it was cute and all but it was a lot of work!

This time I just wanted to throw something together.

Here’s what I came up with………

I’m still using the same fall wreath I made a few years back. It’s been around for awhile but I love it so it gets to stay!

I thought I would save myself some time and just plant pumpkins instead of pansies. You don’t have to water pumpkins……well after they’re off the vine you don’t!

My shadow aka Brady aka The Tornado was having a hissy fit that he had to stay inside.

I didn’t  realize he was photobombing until I looked back though the pictures. Only 3 1/2 months old and already rocking the photobomb what a little genius. Winking smile

On Friday I’m going to the World’s Longest Garage sale with my mom. In fact by the time you read this I’m probably already getting my shop on!

Y’all I can even tell you how excited I am. We’re talking miles upon miles of awesomeness! I’ll be taking pics and video so I can share. If you would like to follow along find me on Instagram. I’ll be posting throughout the day!

Trust me you’re going to want to see this!

What it’s Like to Workout for 6 Hours–Shaun T’s STRIDE Certification

 

IMG_20121004_120922                                              I’m kind of in love with my cutup Kelly K. workout shirt.

 

1 fitness certification down why not go for an second one!

This time around I got certified to teach S.T.R.I.D.E which is Shaun T’s (as in Insanity and Hip-Hop Abs guy) new toning/hip-hop format.

Holy mother of Francis

We had to earn that certification……

6 hours of dancing, squats, pushups, planks

Oh my

I work out a lot BUT I even shocked myself. I had no idea I could survive 6 hours of that. We’re talking Biggest Looser last chance type of workout. Okay maybe not that cray-cray but it was challenging for sure!

I HAD A BLAST!

My certification is good for 2 years but I had so much fun that I wouldn’t be upset if I had to do it again.

It’s always more fun when you have a buddy to do things like this with am I right?

The S.T.R.I.D.E format ROCKS!

 
You get your groove on then drop to the ground and hold a plank. Get your groove on and throw in some squats. Get your groove on then break it down with s series of pushups.

Yep it pretty much has awesomesauce all over it!

 

Little clip we recorded during the certification Smile

Watch this so you can see what class is like.
I’m wayyyyy in the back last row all black with light shoes.

 

Doesn’t that look like fun?

 

Our closing thoughts on the experience.
We were a little giddy and delirious at this point.

 

If you live in the DFW area work in the fitness industry and are looking
for new formats to add to your location let me know!
