Hey all! I hope you are having a great start to your week! I had today off (due to the snow) and I also have tomorrow off. I also would not be surprised if Wednesday was taken off. There will at least be a delay!! I just love the south when it snows!
I have been LOVING the yoga lately. It is my favorite form of exercise, with strength training as a close second. Today I did a lovely 60 minutes of Heart Opening Flow #1. It was glorious, to say the least 
Today, I worked on my year-long research paper, and got over 6 pages done, or around half. I am VERY glad and feel really good to have this much done. I plan on doing another 3-4 tomorrow. I like being ahead. Tomorrow’s agenda:
- Work on paper
- finish Beowulf/notes
- study Biology (dissection test…EEK!)
I don’t know about you, but my closet had gotten out of control. So I decided to tackle it and be brutally honest with what I don’t wear or use anymore. It feels so much better!
Before: 
After: 
I had good intentions of making raw cookies/babies a month or so ago, but just never had the time. So, I thought this afternoon was the perfect opportunity. I decided to make Averie’s Raw Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls and Katie’s Cashew Cookie Babies. Oh my, so, so, so good! I’ve only tried the balls so far, but I had a little taste of the cashew cookies…I never knew raw desserts could taste so yummy! I highly suggest these. And they are SO EASY. 
Tonight’s snack…
Other delicious eats from the weekend!! 
Kath’s Whole Wheat Yogurt Pancakes…DELICIOUS. So yummy, especially when topped with banana, drizzled with agave, honey, and peanut butter. Heaven in breakfast form? I think so. 
Tonight’s Dinner: Breakfast for Dinner
- Raspberry Yogurt (Stonyfield Organic)
- Cinnamon LIFE
- Honey Sunshine
- Apple/Blueberry Granola
- Raisins
- Banana
- Cinnamon Raisin Swirl
= Happiness in a bowl

UH-OH?! Does this mean my Saints are going to lose the Super bowl? Haha.
I’m off to comment on some blogs. Have a wonderful night everyone!!

Sorry I’m so slow in commenting. But your closet is sbeautifully organized! I need to be MUCH more self-disciplined in organizational areas!
And I still haven’t made Averie’s balls, but they do look healthy and delicious and they are definitely a project on my to do list.
