Happy Friday! I’m off to Florida for the long weekend! Bob and I will be vacationing with my parents until Monday, and we cannot wait. This little trip comes at a perfect time, as temperatures around here have really dropped lately. But before I go, here’s my weekly round-up:
Friday’s Five
1. Who knew an old set of ice cube trays that my Mom had could be so useful?!?
I’ve used them to save basil, leftover wine, and this week I filled a few cubes with greek yogurt. I think they’ll do a great job at making extra creamy green smoothies.
2. Back around Thanksgiving, Bob and I randomly bought a bottle of wine because it was on a fantastic sale. We decided to open it this past week, and LOVED it.
We’re usually big fans of Russian River Valley pinot noirs, and this Martin Ray was no different. In fact, it was one of the best we’ve had in awhile.
3. I thought this was a good list of some functional dumbell exercises. I already do a few of them, but I also found a few new ideas!

Do you incorporate functional exercise into your workout routine? I haven’t always, but now I do. I appreciate how the movements strengthen muscles that I use day-in and day-out.
4. Maybe you’ve already seen this . . . I tend to be a little behind on things that go “viral” and such. Bob and I were mesmerized by this guy’s skill. Holy cow!
5. Something to think about (saw this on Katie’s blog):

Though we usually don’t have any, I do like to freeze leftover wine. So useful for cooking!
Me too, Tiff! Who knew there was such a thing as “left-over wine”!
Good tip! Bike dude was AWESOME!
I saw that dumbbell list too — some great ideas! Happy Friday!
Oh my god – that guy on the bike! I was so nervous the entire time I watched that!
You just blew my mind. Greek yogurt ice cubes?! I feel like I should have thought of it. Can’t wait to try it! Especially since I’m new to the smoothie bandwagon
Have fun in Florida! Get some tan for me!
Enjoy your time with your parents
You froze wine? Interesting! Did anything happen to the alcohol content or did you use it for sauce purposes later?
Wait a minute… What is leftover wine? I’ve never heard of that….
Have fun on your trip!
Haha I freeze hummus in ice cubes!
Have a wonderful time in Florida. Take plenty of pictures of the sunshine! I will have to keep my eyes open for that wine. I love a good pinot noir.
Ps When you get back in town I nominated you for the Liebster award!
Love the idea of freezing certain liquids in ice cube trays.
Have a wonderful weekend <3
Have a great time in Florida! Enjoy the sunshine!
oooh i love number 1 such a good idea!
Love Russian River Pinot’s! I’m not sure I’ve had Martin Ray though…. I’ll have to add it to our list! Hope you had a great weekend!
Have a great time in Florida – I’m jealous – it’s so darn cold here!!
You picked the perfect weekend to get away – this morning the windchill was -10 when I woke up!
And great idea about making yogurt ice for smoothies- totally stealing that idea!
Wow awesome video! Can’t believe I watched all of that…Hope you had a great weekend at your parents’!
