Woven Pocketbooks

A couple of days ago, I stopped by one of my favorite online stores DSW to do a little online window shopping and was greeted with this headline.  The Trend? WOVEN.  I am not a trend follower 100%  More like 60% or a trendsetter but when did woven bags come back in to trend and when did they go out of trend.  I can't remember a time when they were not on some ladies shoulder somewhere.  So I did a little more online window shopping and found a few things to support my point.

Martin Luther King Jr

On everyone's calendar, today is marked Martin Luther King Jr Day.  But in fact his birthday was a week ago.  Martin Luther King Jr was born on January 15, 1929.  
Today, I wanted to let you know about a few books about him for adult and young readers alike.
There are so many great books out there to pick from and here are just a few notable and award winning reads.

Fitness Friday #2: Gym Must Haves

Hosted by Jill @ jillconyers.com

Welcome to the second week of Fitness Friday.  Where I (and you) put down our books and talk about our fitness goals.  As well as other fitness stuff!

 What is Fitness Friday?

If you blog and/or have a Facebook Page about health/fitness, want to learn more about diet, exercise, nutrition, setting goals or if you just want to meet new people and find new health and fitness focused blogs, then join me for Fitness Friday!

FF has been great way to meet new friends and find new health and fitness blogs. People have shared their endless encouragement for reaching fitness goals and support for days that I’ve lacked motivation or have fallen into a rut. Without Fitness Friday I wouldn’t have 13 other ladies joining me this year to run 12 half marathons in 2012. Through Fitness Friday I met my running coach, learned how to prepare my new favorite breakfast, overnight oats and have planned blogger meet-ups at running events.
