Sooo, anyone getting really really excited for the Winter Olympics? If you can picture me waving my arm frantically over here, you get the picture. I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics pretty much my whole life. Kristi Yamaguchi winning figure skating gold back in 1992? Yeah, highlight of my fourth grade life. (Or was it third? It hardly matters. Suffice it to say, it was a big deal to me for some unknown reason.) Not that I’m necessarily partial to the winter games. Just round up a whole bunch of amazing athletes, have them camp out in some random place for two weeks, give me a solid underdog story or two, and I’m a happy happy lady. Today’s color palette is my first ode of the season to this year’s winter Olympics, but you can expect more where this came from.
p.s. I started a ten week T25 group challenge today! Has anyone tried it? My gym routine has gotten out of whack lately so I’m hoping this is a great way for me to make sure I’m continuing to make fitness a priority. Let me know if you’ve done it! I’ll keep you posted on how it goes, but so far first impressions are good on day 1!

I am equally so excited for the olympics, while i love both the summer and winter games, there is something about the winter olympics that i love just a bit more. Maybe how nice it is to take a break and just curl up with a cup of tea and a warm blanket and watch all the amazing competitions and cheer for the good old U.S. of A!

Agreed, Nan! I love curling up on a cold winter's night and cheering on our nation's Olympians. One of my favorite things! :-)

Love this! I am super excited, too! My girls are already "figure skating" around our living room in their slipperiest socks. :)

Hahaha, Jenny, that's great! I secretly skate in my socks, too! ;-)
