february favorites

I can't believe today is the last day of February. February is (one of) my favorite months! I am biased because it is my birthday month, but in my mind it's also such a cute month because it is the shortest month.

March is another story. Not one of my favorites. It's actually pretty low on the totem pole, if not the bottom. My friend, Jenn, over at WithLuck, is trying to help me get past my dread of the month by focusing on the good: daylight savings arrives and then the start of spring (let's hope the weather gets the memo), which means free Ritas. (The first day of spring is actually Jenn's birthday, too!!)

So with the end of a month comes some of my favorite things from this month.

My birthday!
Getting older isn't always the best but I did not mind my birthday this year at all. My husband and I both took the day off from work and he made it very, very special. 



First valentine's day with my husband. Even though hubby had class until late, we still had a very enjoyable and special weekend together.




My new toy aka Ninja blender. One of my birthday gifts from my husband was my ninja blender and I absolutely love it! I am pureeing as many things as I can get my hands on.

Which brings me to - soup.
I made a potato leak soup this month and it was delicious. I only made a little (only one leak to use up from a failed cauliflower soup) and  I wish I made more - it was gone after one night.




Despite being injured for almost a week, I managed to get my stride back (for the most part) and got in some good runs this month. Here's hoping they continue and only get better as the days get longer and warmer!

And finally the Yoga Challenge - I have been trying my best to get some yoga in every day. How is everyone doing with trying to incorporate some yoga into their daily (or weekly) lives?

What are some of your favorite things from this past month?!

I live by the motto "I get to because it's my birthday" or "I'm not doing ___ cause it's my birthday"
