2 time IM champion!

My lovely snowflakes,

This past Saturday I found myself playing in a tournament of a sport I had literally never heard of before, sitting volleyball. Its a simple idea, take volleyball, make the court smaller, lower the net, and everyone's butt better be on the ground. I spent four hours shuffling 'round on my rear end and accumulating bruises and sore muscles for my legs to bare. If you are still confused here is the lovely USofA in London



Shockingly enough, our makeshift team was good enough to win the rec tournament! At pretty much every university to have ever existed, the IM champion shirts are coveted items, because it truly does take blood sweat and tears to earn them. It was so exciting to be awarded this years IM champion shirt after the adventure of learning a new sport.




Remember to try new things even if you think you might be terrible at it or it ay be a terrible experience, because you may just turn out being good at it and having a blast along the way :)

Wishing you all smiles and happiness,
Victoria

October Favorites

Hello sweet pumpkins!

This past month of October I was a little more daring with trying new foods. And oh was it worth it. First off we have the greatest thing ever created


You read that correctly. Cookie Butter. Its the texture of peanut butter but made out of the most delicious cookies. I have already gone through a whole jar and an unhealthy amount through another. It's a problem. A delicious problem. But a problem nonetheless. These jars of goodness can be bought at any grocery store, and if you live near a Trader Joe's, they have their own brand with more of a gingerbread taste if that is more your style. Basically, they are completely delicious and worth your time.

Next up I tried a Pluot. Its a plum hybrid if you have never heard of it, which I hadn't. Its the texture of a plum but sweet as an apple. It's so delicious. Definitely really sweet so if you don't have much of a sweet tooth this may not be for you.

These new discoveries will def be favorites for a long long time :)

Wishing you all smiles and happiness,
Victoria
