Do you know the downward dog?

Here's my YOGA teacher saying "you cant do this, oh come on give it a try?"

Here's me being squashed by my crazy yoga teacher

Here's me after class flexible as can be!! I am a PRO what can i say??

Just kidding..My friends and I have decided to be really ambitious and go to yoga every Tuesday and Thursday night. Tuesday was the first day of class and can I just tell you it was killer!! I haven't been in a long time and forgot how doing all of these crazy poses and holding them for like five minutes each, can make your muscles shake like they are trying to pop out of your arms, legs and pretty much everywhere else.. My instructor was INSANE she did a pose that made her look like she was floating!! Picture a girl instead of a guy standing on us trying to make us more flexible and that's pretty much what it was like.. So tonight i get to do it all over again!! Despite all of the sore muscles and crazy instructors I am actually looking forward to it!

Lucky!!






I am so LUCKY....
I heard this new song on the radio yesterday and it made me really think about how lucky I am..
I am so LUCKY I have an amazing husband, who works so hard and tries his hardest to support our family..
I am so LUCKY I have a supportive family who is there for me whenever I need anything at all...
I am so LUCKY for friends who make us laugh, give us support and make our lives better because they are around us...
and last but definitely not least..
I am so LUCKY to have a healthy boy, who makes each day an adventure and reminds me every day what a piece of heaven really feels like..
Please take a second to remember how LUCKY we all are to have each other, to be healthy and to be loved!!

JEN'S FAVORITE THINGS
I decided today I am going to start sharing all of my FAVORITE things with my friends and family. I LOVE when Oprah does her favorite things show, so I am going to make my own little twist on that. I am going to share with you all of my favorite things for the next couple of days!! I wish I had lots and lots of money so I could shower you with the things I love, but getting them off of my blog will have to do!! ENJOY!!!


MY FAVORITE THINGS DAY ONE:
SPINACH BACON SALAD w/ POPPY SEED DRESSING
3 cups baby spinach
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and torn
3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 lb cooked bacon, crumbled
4 boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup craisins
1 cup cottage cheese
DRESSING:
3/4 teaspoon poppy seed
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon dijon mustard

Mix together ingredients for salad, do not add cottage cheese until minutes before serving. In a blender mix dressing ingredients, do not over mix.(Overblending will puree poppy seeds). Pour over salad a few minutes before serving and mix well.
