Birthday parties

I know I always gush about my running group friends! We celebrated our 3rd birthday last weekend and it was so great to see how much we’ve grown. We celebrated with a run of course followed by breakfast. A few ladies brought their kids along too. It’s never too early to start mentoring the next generation of our group right?

Momentum Jewelry

I’ve been seeing these Momentum bracelets floating around for a few months now and I finally got my hands on one. I love the message! They have so many great mantras to choose from. I am excited to be part of the #ShareTheSpark campaign where I will be giving a few of these out to some friends who may need a little extra support or boost. Want one for yourself? You can use FFspark15 for 15% off.

These yummy oranges that are a cross between a grapefruit and an orange are one of my go to snacks lately. While waiting for all the sweet spring fruit to come out, I am loving these.

Honestly I am hoping that we are done with the snow for this year! I did however, have so much fun using my Yaktrax during our snow storms last month. I was injured last year and didn’t have the chance to try them out. I felt like a little kid out there running in the snow. My friends over at Yaktrax donated a few pairs to our Moms Run This Town group and they are also generously giving me a pair to raffle off to one of you! I will be giving away a pair of the Yaktrax Run in the size of your choice. Even if the snow is done for this year, you will be set for next year. Enter Rafflecopter below.

    Mixed feelings, I love skiing and snow, but since that’s seems almost done for the year (despite the fact that I live in New Hampshire) then lets get the cold and ice over with and move on to a nice spring.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 7:58 am

      Yes the cold and ice are much worse than the snow! I am ready for spring too. Thanks for stopping by today

    02/26/2016 at 7:31 am

    I am hoping for Spring to make an appearance soon!! February s always a tough month for me… glad to see it on its way out!

    Love your momentum bracelet!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 7:59 am

      February is a tough month for sure. It’s usually the coldest time here and kind of dreary. Yes bring on spring

    I recently just bought my first momentum bracelet and I have been really liking it too. Those wraps are much softer than I thought they’d be. I would like to try those yak trax but I am hopeful we are done w the snow but I’m sure we will get one more storm in March. We always do.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 8:01 am

      I love the momentum bracelet too! I hope we are done with snow too but you never know!

  4. Julie @ Running in a Skirt says

    02/26/2016 at 8:15 am

    Those oranges look perfect for my fruit-a-holic heart! Yum!!! Happy weekend. 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 8:15 am

      They are so good have you tried them?

  5. suzie says

    02/26/2016 at 9:18 am

    early spring!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 10:11 am

      That would be great! It’s freezing out there today thanks for stopping by today

  6. [email protected] says

    02/26/2016 at 9:21 am

    I love momentum wraps… I have a couple… I’m happy to say that I don’t need Yaktraks…although when I see everyone’s snow pics, it does make me want to try running in snow just a couple of times.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 10:11 am

      It’s fun to run in the snow but I think I’d prefer your weather year round! The momentum wraps are so great!

  7. Cayanne Marcus @healthyezsweet says

    02/26/2016 at 10:44 am

    Sitting here in sunny So Cal, I doubt I’ll be getting my hands on a snowball ha! But one of my favorites this February is Kiko cosmetics!! I saw a store recently at my mall and the lipsticks were like $5 and actually. stay. on. Unbelievable!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 3:36 pm

      Well I am jealous of your weather but maybe you can win them for a friend! I’ve not heard of those lipsticks but I will keep an eye out. Can’t have too many thanks for stopping by!

  8. Jennifer @ Dashing in Style says

    02/26/2016 at 12:08 pm

    I’m also hoping the snow is done for the year. I have my first race tomorrow and of course it’s snowing today. Luckily it doesn’t look like any accumulation though. And I love that you had a birthday party for your running group!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 4:57 pm

      We love to have parties for our running group always so much fun!

  9. Marla says

    02/26/2016 at 12:11 pm

    I actually want some snow. We don’t see much in Alabama and it’s fun!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 4:58 pm

      It can be lots of fun for sure! I don’t think there is too much hope for this year for you anymore is there?!

      • Marla says

        02/26/2016 at 5:36 pm

        I doubt it but in Alabama, you never know. Fingers crossed!

  10. RFC says

    02/26/2016 at 12:36 pm

    I’m both elated and sad that I cannot enter this Yaktrax giveaway, for we have moved from snowy Vermont to sunny South Carolina. I miss the snow. I do not miss the cold, heh heh 😉 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:05 pm

      Well you could give it to a friend!

  11. Kelli says

    02/26/2016 at 1:28 pm

    EARLY SPRING!! For sure! I’ve always liked the idea of Yaktrax but only tend to think about it after it has already snowed.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:05 pm

      ha ha well you should try them it’s fun!

  12. Tamieka says

    02/26/2016 at 2:34 pm

    Those oranges…..I have never even hear of those!!! Where do you get them?

    Cool giveaway…I wonder if I would feel brave enough to run in the snow in those….hmmmmm

    Love my momentum bracelet! I need to get some more bands to change up the color for Spring!

    Happy 3rd Bday!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:06 pm

      Ooh the oranges are so good they have them at my regular giant. You have to try them!!

  13. Artney @ My Pretty Brown Fit says

    02/26/2016 at 2:55 pm

    I’ve never heard of Cara Cara oranges. They look so yummy! I love your Momentum bracelet, too! I need to get one for myself.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:07 pm

      The oranges are delish you have to try them! The bracelets are great you should get one

  14. Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says

    02/26/2016 at 2:57 pm

    I’ve never heard of that type of orange. I love a good grapefruit, so I think I would be all over these. Sweet or sour?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:10 pm

      They are sweet you would like them! They are at Giant

  15. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    02/26/2016 at 2:58 pm

    I have never heard of those oranges, but now I must find them!

    Glad the Yaktrax worked so well for you! I have to say I’m hoping the groundhog was right and spring is just around the corner.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:10 pm

      Me too but it’s been really cold out!

  16. josephine says

    02/26/2016 at 3:05 pm

    i am hoping for NO more snow! bye bye winter (please!)

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:11 pm

      ha ha yes it’s been cold but they are nice to have just in case

  17. Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says

    02/26/2016 at 3:19 pm

    Oh I hope we’re finally done with the snow until next winter. I don’t even want to discuss the small possibility of snow that I saw in the extended forecast. I hope that possibility disappears!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:14 pm

      I saw that!

  18. Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says

    02/26/2016 at 3:40 pm

    Running in the snow is so fun, I still can’t believe I don’t have Yaktrax! I’m looking forward to the spring!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:14 pm

      Well you need a pair!

  19. Edye says

    02/26/2016 at 3:43 pm

    I’m not the biggest fan of mowing the grass, so I would like more snow 😉

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:29 pm

      Well there’s that too!

  20. Laura says

    02/26/2016 at 4:01 pm

    Love both! But excited for spring to come.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 5:37 pm

      Me too!

  21. Annmarie says

    02/26/2016 at 6:40 pm

    Hooray for YakTrax! If I didn’t already own a pair I’d totally enter!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 9:39 pm

      You can always give them away to a friend!

  22. Heather@hungryforbalance says

    02/26/2016 at 7:05 pm

    I hope we’re done with snow this year! I’m ready for Spring!
    Valentine’s Day was one of my favorite things this month.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 9:42 pm

      I always love Valentine’s Day 🙂

  23. Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says

    02/26/2016 at 8:14 pm

    I have a new pair of YakTrax to test and I have no snow. Not that I’m complaining, but I need to post a review of them. This could be interesting!

    You posted about all my favorite things today–I love those oranges. And the #sharetheSPARK campaign? I cannot wait to give my bracelets away!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 9:43 pm

      I knew I liked you! I am so excited about the bracelets it’s going to be hard to decide who to give them to

  24. Nicole @ Fitful Focus says

    02/26/2016 at 9:17 pm

    I hope we won’t see any more snow this winter. I’m ready for spring and delicious oranges that look like yours!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/26/2016 at 9:43 pm

      OH I am too! It got cold again today

  25. Safari @ Tri-ing To Run Boston says

    02/26/2016 at 10:15 pm

    LOVE the Momentum bracelet! I’ve been seeing them around online as well…will definitely have to get me one.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/27/2016 at 12:27 pm

      Yes you need one asap!

  26. Karen - Fit in France says

    02/27/2016 at 2:20 am

    I feel kind of lucky that I don’t need Yaktrax. No snow here in Paris !

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/27/2016 at 12:27 pm

      You are lucky that your winter has been pretty mild.

  27. Elle says

    02/27/2016 at 12:12 pm

    More snow! I like running in the cold and the snow makes for pretty scenery.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/27/2016 at 12:32 pm

      It is really pretty to run in! I had lots of fun with the Yaktrax this winter. Thanks for entering

  28. Akaleistar says

    02/27/2016 at 1:59 pm

    I’ve been craving oranges lately, and the Cara Cara oranges sound intriguing! Also, I love that bracelet 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:34 pm

      The oranges are so good! It seems like they keep coming out with new combos of veggies and fruits

  29. Hannah says

    02/27/2016 at 2:31 pm

    I always wear trail shoes for running in the snow, but I need Yaktrax for this unseasonably warm weather where the trails keep melting and refreezing…so slick and nasty! Spring can stay away forever as far as I’m concerned, I am 100% a winter person.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:37 pm

      Wow really?! You need a pair for sure then thanks for entering

  30. Coco says

    02/27/2016 at 2:39 pm

    Oh, I would LOVE to win these! I also would NOT mind if I had to wait until next year to use them!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:41 pm

      You and me both! They are great to have though

  31. paige c says

    02/27/2016 at 6:01 pm

    I want an early spring!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:42 pm

      I do too! Thanks for entering and they are always great to have around just in case

  32. Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says

    02/27/2016 at 8:03 pm

    Seeing as though I live in Florida I highly doubt I’ll see snow or need to use a pair of Yaktrax! They do look like fun, however, hopefully I get to try them out one day.

    I’m also a part of #ShareTheSPARK campaign and I LOVE the momentum bracelets! I’m eagerly awaiting mine in the mail! This might become a new addiction 🙂

    This month I’m sort of obsessing over the color orange- I didn’t used to like it, but I got a pair of the Asics Gel FuzeX shoes and they are pink/orange/grey so I’m trying to find workout clothes to match! I don’t own many of the colors that are in the shoes. Hopefully Skirt comes out with some more orange stuff lol!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:43 pm

      I am already loving the #sharethespark campaign too! I am thinking the new Psych print might go with your orange

  33. Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says

    02/28/2016 at 12:07 am

    Thankfully I don’t need snow running shoes… but I’ll take ALL those oranges. I am obsessed lately! Cara Caras are the best.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:45 pm

      Aren’t they just so yummy?!

  34. Sharon says

    02/28/2016 at 2:19 am

    Happy birthday to your running group! Love Momentum Jewelry! Their share the spark campaign is awesome!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:45 pm

      Thanks! I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already

  35. Lindsey says

    02/28/2016 at 7:55 am

    I REALLY hope we don’t see anymore snow this year! It was great weather two weeks ago, last week was cold again…and not this week seems promising with warmer temps. No more winter! 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:48 pm

      We are in that flip flop weather time as well. Can’t hurt to be prepared though right?! Thanks for stopping by today

  36. Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says

    02/28/2016 at 12:07 pm

    I have a feeling we’ll have more snow, since we’ve lucked out with very little so far. I already have a pair of Yaktrax and they are great! Can’t say I used them yet this year, but I love having them as an option.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 1:50 pm

      They are great to have as an option! You can always give them away to a friend and run together

  37. Abby @ BackAtSquareZero says

    02/28/2016 at 2:10 pm

    I just ordered a ton of momentum jewelry because they are having $10 bracelets for their Share the Spark campaign. I got 10 of them and cannot wait to pass them on.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/28/2016 at 6:52 pm

      They are so great love their messages!

  38. GiGi Eats says

    02/29/2016 at 12:00 am

    You know what’s amazing?? I HAVEN’T SEEN ANY SNOW THIS YEAR! HA HA AH AH!! And I don’t plan on it AT ALL!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/29/2016 at 7:39 am

      It would be weird if you did!

  39. Nik says

    03/01/2016 at 10:07 am

    Spring please. I can’t take winter!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      03/01/2016 at 2:34 pm

      I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel 🙂 Thanks for stopping by today

  40. Brittany Koelmel says

    03/02/2016 at 11:55 pm

    Early spring please!
