Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!  It's time for another installment of Friday Favorites!  I'm linking up with Katie, Clare, and Heather this week, and I feel like this is more of a continuation from yesterday's post...so here are some more favorites...

Speaking of continuation from yesterday's post...remember when I said that I am a crazy pet parent.  I checked out my pictures from this week and this is what I found...

Out for a walk

Doing abs with my helper


Stretching with my helper-he was a little tired after our walk!
 I may have a problem!!  He's just so cute that it is hard not to take pics.

I recently signed up to be a coach with Girls on the Run (a great organization which encourages girls to feel healthy and confident and empowered by running). When I was on their site signing up, I found out that they are one of the charities on Charity Miles.

Charity Miles is what I really wanted to tell you guys about. It is an app on your phone that uses the GPS to track miles, and equates them to either $.10/mile for biking or $.25/mile for running or walking to be donated to the charity of your choice. Once you finish your activity, it asks to post to Facebook or Twitter. You are required to do the post for the miles to count because it raises awareness for your charity and the company sponsoring you/donating the money. I encourage all of you who walk, run or bike to download the app and check it out. If you are doing the activity anyway, why not raise money and awareness for your favorite charity??



My strawberry plant has fruit! It has been growing tiny green strawberries, but I finally have an adorable red and ripe strawberry!!! I should not be this excited about one strawberry, but I can't help myself!


The summer trend of cute flowy and light tops is fantastic.  This shirt from Francesca's is super cute.  So is this from this top from Express.

What are you loving right now?

  1. My puppies like to be "helpers" too! It's all well and good until they start licking my face :)
    Enjoy your strawberries! It's so cool when a plant you care for does what it's supposed to do!
