martini glasses | Day With KT

I feel like I’ve been way more negative than I really want to be on here lately so today is all about fun and some of my favorite things!!!

I could spend every day just like this!!!

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned a time or 500 that the beach is my favorite place!!!

If I can’t be on a beach then a pool with full service and one or more of my favorite people is the next best thing –

see - a tan is always a good thing!! — see – a tan is always a good thing!!

I might have mentioned that I collect cookbooks. My favorite cookbooks are the Taste of Home books –

Taste of Home & hick Cooking — Taste of Home & Quick Cooking

My other favorite cookbook is the book that our MOPS (Mothers of Preschool Students) group put together years ago –

This is the book I go to when it is after 5:00pm and I still don’t have a dinner plan!

I also collect martini glasses. I had a hard time picking a favorite so I went with 3 of my favorites –

Five O'Clock Somewhere Texas Decisions (shoes) — Five O’Clock Somewhere Texas Decisions (shoes)

Even though summer is my favorite, I also appreciate the beauty of fall –

Pretty sure that I have talked about how much I like the wine Chris brings back from Germany!!!

My favorite way to workout will always be running!!!

Patriot run – Hunter was a great crew member!!!

And, the fact that both of my boys like to run now makes running even better!!

before the 4th of July race around the lake

Some days I look out my kitchen window and feel overwhelmed by the beauty of the lake –

And, lately my boots have been making me happy many days!!! It is hard for me to pick a favorite pair (I’m not saying how many pair of cowboy boots I have!!!) but here are a few:

maybe I like these the best... — maybe I like these the best…

Boots and dresses are my favorite thing to wear if I’m not wearing workout clothes!!!

What are some of your favorite things?
Do you wear cowboy boots?

Happy Friday!!!

Today’s 44 was similar to a move that Jody shared on Instagram recently. She did an oblique crunch on the stability ball – doing all reps to the same side before switching.

I changed up the move some and don’t look nearly as graceful as Jody but…..

You can sort of tell that I did more of a reach and I alternated sides. I did count a right and left as 1 rep so it was actually 88 crunches to complete the 44.

Today is more running – nice and easy to make sure that my Achilles is OK after the pain the other day. (chronic injury – have to baby it sometime!!) I’m trying to keep my mileage up because this month Taylor has a fun March challenge. The challenge is to get at least 31 miles of walking or running BUT if you already do that then it was to pick a number that would be a good challenge.

My goal for March is 150 miles of running. That isn’t much for a lot of people but for me that is a very high mileage month!!!

So……last night while making dinner, I also made this –

2 days in, did I already fail on giving up my Happy Hour???

Nope!!! Because that is actually….

It’s just Crystal Light in a fun glass!!

Part of why I enjoy my evening cocktail is because I love my fun glasses – I have a collection of Martini glasses all around my kitchen soffit and they are just fun to use. I decided that I can still use the glasses – just with a different type of drink.
