We made it, it's Friday!

Today I am embarking on the first installment of "Fitness Friday" here on Scribble & Dash.

What this means is every Friday I will be sharing something with all of you pertaining to fitness, whether it be a work out I really enjoy, a progress report of where I am at, a new item of clothing I have found to be excellent for working out in etc.

I hope you enjoy, I for one am very excited!!

Okay, with that being said here we go...

Summer is literally right around the corner (Hello June 20th *also my sister's birthday!*)

What does Summer mean other than trips to the beach or the pool, or a float, right?!

So, with these days of wearing bikinis creeping up I have been severely focused on my AB routine.

Pinterest is FULL of 30 Day Ab Challenges, to the point where it gets overwhelming at best.

Yesterday I was browsing one of my favorite websites LaurenConrad.com and she announced her own 30 Day Ab Challenge and it hit me... This was the challenge I was going to jump on board with.

Personally, I like having a plan when it comes to working out, it helps me hold myself accountable. Having this 30 Day Challenge is going to make it hard for me to not keep up!

Here is the breakdown of the challenge

I would love to hear from any of you who are planning on joining up with this challenge as well! Also head on over to LaurenConrad.com yourself and comment on her post that you are taking the challenge as well! Make sure to take pictures of your progress and if you decide to post them on any social media use the hashtag #LCdotcomloves

Here's my before...

I hope everyone has a great weekend, I'm going to go and complete today's workout!

Cheers!

Acai Smoothie Bowls have been taking the world by storm here lately.

I have seen them all over Instagram these past couple months and decided I wanted to try my hand in making my own at home.

I'm an avid smoothie drinker as it is and this just seemed like it would be a perfect recipe for me to try out.

I was right. I'm obsessed with these Acai Smoothie Bowls!

My boys are obsessed too so I have to make a double batch OR make it when they're napping or in the other room and sneak in a bite here and there.

I mean, what's not to love... It's so pretty!

...Yes I did take this photo! If you want to use it, that's totally cool I just ask that you link back to my blog and this post with it! Thank you :)

What you'll need:

For Smoothie-

1 Cup Almond Milk

2 Packs Simply Balanced Organic Acai Berry Puree

1 Tablespoon Honey

1/2 Banana (reserve the rest for topping)

1/2 Cup Fresh Blueberries & Blackberries

2-3 Frozen Strawberries

5 Frozen Mango Chunks

6-7 Frozen Pineapple Chunks

1/2 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseed

1/2 Tablespoon Whole Chia Seeds

For topping-

Granola (mine is Home Made... Working on recipe post, stay tuned!)

Blueberries

Blackberries

Banana

Dried Coconut Flakes (Unsweetened)

Drizzle of Honey

Kiwi

What you'll do:

Step One : Measure out all ingredients and put in blender

Step Two : Get to blending

Step Three : Pour into bowl once well blended! This makes one bowl, two depending on how hungry you are

Step Four : Top with goodies

Step Five : Eat immediately & enjoy!

**Here's what the packaging for the Acai Smoothie Packs look like**

I got them at a local Target.

Once I ran out I went to a different Target store and they weren't there so I guess it's hit or miss.

Lucky there's so many Target's all over! :)

I hope you enjoy making this smoothie bowl!

Share your thoughts on this recipe in the comments & feel free to send me pictures of your finished product as well!

Cheers!

This weekend my husband, myself as well as a few of our friends decided to take a trip to Ste. Genevieve, MO to visit Crown Valley Winery, for a day of sipping wonderful wine and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

*Entrance*

We were so fortunate, the day turned out to be beyond gorgeous. Perfect for sitting on the patio and relaxing together.

Andrew and I were treated to a tour of the winery as well as a wine tasting by Crown Valley Winery.

We got an up close look at how the wine is made, bottled and shipped out.

The tour was very informative, I never knew so many steps went into creating wine!!

*Where the wine is bottled* 

My favorite part was seeing all the wine barrels, and learning that Crown Valley not only gets their barrels from Missouri but also France!

Once the tour was over we got to sample all of their wines, which were quite delicious.

My number one favorite would have to be the Chardonel.

We then took our favorite wines and sat outside on the patio and ordered some food from their full menu!

It was so hard to choose what to get!

I settled on the Blue Bison Salad with the Blackberry Wine Vinaigrette.

Seriously, I can't even describe how excellent this salad was. I would highly recommend this to anyone who goes and visits Crown Valley!

*Sunglasses c/o Ditto*

After we were done with our meal we decided to make the short drive to Crown Valley's Brewery.

We grabbed a glass of their Craft Beer and went to sit on their patio where we were able to enjoy the wonderful weather some more as well as live music.

The scenery was absolutely gorgeous here as well, so I insisted that we take pictures {the guys weren't that thrilled but they will just have to get used to it!}

*Romper - Old Navy*

I want to thank Crown Valley Winery for a wonderful day and for allowing my husband and I to take a complimentary tour and tasting!

Cheers!
