MM: Marvelous Mondays, Roadtrip

Did I tell you, we’re going on an 18 day road trip?

3,000+ miles, 8 states, 4 kids, 2 adults, 1 mini-van.

I’m excited to share with you all the places we’re going to visit, & our adventures along the way.

We’re getting ready to go this morning, so I don’t have much time to post, but I it wouldn’t be Monday without another edition of Marvelous Mondays.

Remember last week’s edition where I share 16 of my favorite blogs?

This week, I’ve got some more great links lined up for you.

Here we go.

 

♥  In case you missed it, posts from this weekend:  I jumped (a video of me jumping into some icy cascade waters) & what’s in a vegan kitchen?, a video resurrected from the early days of the blog.

♥  Do you like once-a-month cooking, or freezer meals?  Here’s a list of delicious vegan freezer meals (my ginger soup is on the list!)  that will save you time in the kitchen & is easy on the budget.

♥  Great summer reading list, for all ages.

♥  Once I get my sewing machine back, I’m making this little contraption to keep the books in our car organized.

♥  Choco-holic?  I think this site may contain the answer to naturally, serving your cravings.

♥  This site makes me want to live more simply.  Not sure if that is possible with a brain like mine, but I certainly aspire to it.

♥  9 varieties of vanilla beans?  Wowzers.  Thanks Averie, for the recommend.

♥  Speaking of vanilla.  Did you know today is National Vanilla Ice cream Day?  Who knew there was such a thing?  Check out other quirky holidays, here, & make sure you don’t miss things like National Lasagna Day (July 29), National Watermelon Day (August 3), or National Chocolate Chip Day (August 4).

♥  Need a vanilla ice cream recipe to celebrate today?  My recipe for vanilla bean ice cream & Hailey, from Daily Bites, also has a good one, using macadamia nuts.

♥  Sayings I need to memorize before I move down south.

♥  Are you a mom, & do you work for pay?  You may want to read this.

♥  A delicious allergy-friendly, easy-to-make, tabbouleh.  (soy-free, nut-free, grain-free, vegan!)

♥  A pop-up dinner party sounds like so much fun, don’t you think?

 

My workout of the week (45 minutes):  

Having a hard time finding time to workout?  Sneak in your workouts throughout your day (for a total of 45 minutes), or do a straight shot, one after another.

Cardio Intervals (18 minutes),

Arms (7 minutes),

Pilates legs (10 minutes),

& Solid Abs (9 minutes)
