This winter seems to be taking forever to switch over, especially since we’ve been dumped with more snow than I can remember. Many of us in northern climates feel the same way, desperate for summer, or even weather in the upper 50’s! I’m looking forward to transforming our backyard into a serene space. The main area of focus is a deck or patio that is great for relaxing and entertaining. Here is a collection of ideas I have. Some of the spaces and pools may not be realistic, but bits and pieces are. This is what inspires me. Oh, and if you are looking for a reputable company to make these dreams come true, I would recommend a company like Imperial Building & Roofing Co Inc.

We can all get in a rut or plateau when it comes to our health routines. Regretfully, I haven’t been to the gym in 2 and a half weeks after going die hard for a year. I’m coming off a vacation, which always seems to make it tough to sync my routine. Sometimes it’s tough to find the motivation to keep going or to get started again, especially with the winter approaching. Regardless of where you’re at with your fitness goals, this weeks fitness inspiration gallery will help keep you motivated for sure! Share and enjoy!
