I took enough photos of Tulips probably to post tulip pictures for a week straight. I just love there vibrant colors and delicate shape. Plan on visiting Oregon in April, then make sure you make time to go the the <a href="http://www.woodenshoe.com/tulip-fest/" target="_blank">Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest</a>. It's only an hour from Portland and costs $5 per vehicle, I honestly can't recommend it enough! Now, enjoy the photos until you see them in real life for yourself!</div>

One of my goals in life is to go to Holland and ride a bike through the rolling fields of tulips. Tulips are my ULTIMATE favorite flower, there is something so magical about them. I still remember the first boy who bought me tulips, Ben, because he said something that hurt my feelings (after 8 years together my husband FINALLY bought me some because he hated that there was that one guy before him who bought me tulips!).<br />
<br />
In April, I had an unexpected early day off and nothing to do. I knew the Tulip Fest was happening near Portland and that I really(really) wanted to go. After consulting the calendar and realizing that I go now or forever hold my peace, I packed up my camera gear and jumped into the car. An hour later I pulled into a gravel parking lot filled with mini vans and joined families galore at walking the vast fields of brightly colored tulips.<br />

I spent 2.5 hours in the heat, walking up and down rows upon rows of beautiful flowers. I took my time so I could appreciate the unique colors and shapes. Sometimes, I even stopped to smell the flowers and take it all in. There was a set of fields located in the back, far from the first popular fields that not a lot of people wandered over to. I would stand still and just listen to the loud hum of bees and bugs buzzing around me while I watched the groups of people in the field plot over. I thought to myself, if all those people would just stop for a moment, they to could experience this amazing part of nature. But alas that doesn't happen much, people stopping to take in the WHOLE experience, we are always moving on to the next thing that we can accomplish.<br />

The washi tape bus left like three hours ago and I'm just getting to the bus stop, that's how late I am. I think it was because once I tried to find it at a craft store and couldn't find it, so I didn't try again. So, don't blame me..blame Jo-Anne Fabrics!<br />
<br />
Anywho, I found it and I'm obsessed!! I recently conducted a survey for my upcoming business and used washi tape as part of my thank you package. I created both bookmarks and thank you cards using the tape and was really happy with how it turned out.<br />

When looking for something to send in my thank you package, I found this <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2013/04/make-bookmarks-with-tape.html" target="_blank">diy post</a>. I read it and loved it and copied it. Jessica even provided the pdf quote used for the bookmarks..to good to be true. </div>

The cards were super simple! I bought kraft cards from Michael's, cut them in half to make post cards, put some washi tape on them, with a hand written note. I love when simple things, turn out so cute!</div>

If you are curious, Maggie Mae's Kids Bookshop, is the small business I am working on. I hope to open up shop this summer in Portland, giving kids lots of opportunities for story times while their parents can load up on great kid books!</div>

To me it was the simple way to add a little depth without all the cost. Plus, now we get to sleep underneath all of the adventures we have had together!<br />

I love looking at all the adventures Dave and I have taken since we have been together. I feel blessed that I have found a partner who loves to travel and see this big world with me. We have already seen a lot in our 8 years together but we got a whole lot more to see!</div>

Dave and I went on a train ride through the Columbia Gorge exploring the country side. For this little adventure, I knew I wanted to be comfortable for the 4 hours sitting in the train but still look cute. <br />

I went with my black tuxedo pants (that basically feel like sweatpants) and a soft sweater paired with studded ankle boots. I was soooo comfortable but still looked fashionable as well, I had found the perfect outfit!</div>

Hood Scenic RailroadOne of my goals this month was to explore at least three different things in Portland/ Oregon. I didn't waste any time by jumping on the good ole fashion railroad to take in the scenic Hood River area located in the Columbia Gorge. Dave and I drove an hour in the rain to get to Hood River and board the train. The whole drive there, I was nervous it was going to rain all day long and put a damper on our adventure. However, in good old Oregon fashion the sun came out and shined during the excursion and started to rain again when we got back to our car!<div>

The cars we traveled in were mostly from the 1920s - 1940s. You could turn the seats to face others or have some privacy, which was nice (and reminded me of train we would take from Newcastle to Sydney, Australia). You could also walk between cars and get yourself a snack or beverage, if you didn't bring one with you. </div>

We rode the train for 1.5 hours to the small town of Parkdale, OR. Parkdale is located only 40 miles from the base of Mt. Hood and I'm sure its a sight to see on a clear day. On the way to Parkdale we saw orchard after orchard, making my mouth water thinking of all the delicious fruit this summer. I can't wait to do the Fruit Loop!! The conductor of the train taught us how farmers kept their orchards from frosting over as well as knowing the difference between cherry trees and pear trees (pair trees have rough bark, cherry trees have smooth). AND around 80% of the orchards in the Columbia Gorge are pear!</div>

When we arrived in Parkdale we explored the orchard before grabbing some lunch. After the rain we truly enjoyed walking around the small town in the chilly spring air. We took our time taking pictures everywhere in town before grabbing lunch from the local grocery store. We found the perfect spot to relax and eat before the train blew it's whistle for us to board again. </div>

All in all we had a fabulous day on the railroad, taking pictures, and having a quick little adventure. Plus the drive from Portland to Hood River is beautiful in itself. We went in early April before spring had officially sprung, I recommend for others to wait until middle of April or later so you have more color outside your train window. </div>

Do you ever have those times when you just don't want to wear another pair or pants...or all your pants just don't seem to fit? I am definitely in the mood right now. I have a few pairs of jeans out of my many that I ever feel like wearing, but still times I just want to switch it up. So, I decided that it's the perfect time to start layering my dresses to give me both warmth on chilly days but also spice up my wardrobe. Plus, who says you can't wear your dress as a skirt?!?!</div>

When I put this outfit on, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it. Would it be to much with the print and the graphic...however, I ended up liking it and loved the feeling of being comfortable all day long! Plus, wearing this sweater over my dress makes it more flattering for me than if I wear it with jeans (no muffin top/tire!). I love this sweater, it's seriously one of the cuter ones I own! </div>

Have you seen my favorite purse? I think I shared it before, but how can you not swoon over it!! I have been in LOVE with this purse since I laid my eyes on it over a year ago. I use it whenever I can and always try to make sure that my skull is facing out so I can share it's beauty with others. I didn't lie in my other outfit posts, I am seriously in love with my motto boots. I wear them with almost every outfit! Plus with such a spunky print and graphic, I feel that the boots balance it out so the outfit doesn't go to girly girl for me. </div>

Since one of my April goals is to read more, I figure why don't I start sharing some of the books I've been reading. I won't give away to much about the books, just a quick little synopsis and if I liked it or not. I love looking at other people's books lists so hopefully you like this new post series as well!<br />

Did you watch the Netflix series based on this book? OH. MY. GOODNESS. It is soooo good! I devoured the first season within a week or so and can't wait for the second season to start. I knew that I wanted to read the book but was skeptical, cause really could it be as good as the show? The answer is: it's good, but not as great as the show...which is to be suspected because the show is loosely based on the book. In the book we follow Piper as she navigates her year in federal prison. She is not your average inmate and we experience her trials and tribulations as she tries to fit in and survive. I recommend this book, it was interesting and an easy read. I feel a little bit more prepared for any future sentencing (which hopefully don't ever occur)!</div>

<b>A Walk In The Woods: Bill Bryson</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love this man, Bill Bryson can always make me laugh out loud. He is not only hilarious but he can make the most uninteresting things really interesting! In this book he takes on the adventure of hiking the Appalachian Trail with one of his high school friends. The Appalachian Trail runs all the way from Georgia to Main and is hiked by thousands of hikers each year. Bryson does a great job of blending facts and history in with his own personal experience on the trail. I learned a lot about the historic AT while laughing out loud and enjoying it without all the work of hiking it myself. When reading it, I had to take a picture and share this passage with everyone...its SOOOO FUNNY! I highly recommend this book and all books by Bryson!</div>

<b>Bossypants: Tina Fey</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't know why it took me so long to read this book, it is amazing! I absolutely loved every minute of reading it. The book is a story about Tina Fey's life and I felt as if I was having a conversation with her. This is one of the first memoirs I've read in which I felt this way. She shares her stories with you, most of them are super funny but she also gives us a dash of hope and optimism. I highly recommend the book, especially if you love to laugh and are looking for an easy, fast read!</div>

<b>Gone Girl: Gillian Flynn</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You have probably heard of this book, even if you are living under a rock, you heard of it somehow. This book was huge, it was on the best sellers for months and months. I worked at a used bookstore and we couldn't keep a copy in stock for a whole year..yeah, it was that huge of a book! Because it was so popular, I think I had higher hopes for the book. I read her earlier books before this one and I loved them. This one, I didn't love this one as much. The story follows the disappearance of a wife, her husband is a suspect, and you follow both characters both past and present through the ordeal. I didn't like the characters, maybe if they were a bit nicer, I would have like them and appreciated the book more. This is a book, I say check out for yourself..it wasn't for me, but millions of others loved it!</div>

We discovered this beautiful spot on our trip to the Oregon coast, but it was so beautiful that it needed it's own post. Dave and I were driving down the highway heading into Tillamook for some Christmas Day chinese food when I saw a sign for the falls pointed towards a small dirt road, of course I didn't hesitate to turn off the main road. We drove up a one lane, dirt road, laying beside a corn field as we made our way down the road slowly turned into more pot holes than road. We almost turned around but thankfully we pushed forth because this is what was waiting for us at the end of the pot holed road...<br />

It was a moss covered fairy tale wonderland. We pulled into a small circle parking lot, parked and then jump out of the car to explore. We didn't have to walk to far before we were blown away, becoming speechless by the beauty that surrounded us. If you follow the path you come to a beautiful waterfall that makes you stand in awe. This was one of the most beautiful places I have been. It seriously is in my top five...and closer to the top than the bottom!!</div>

If you ever are in Portland. Jump in a car, head to the coast, and view this beautiful natural treasure when you are there! It's just right outside Tillamook, you can take a tour of the Tillamook Cheese Factory and then walk off all that cheese at the Munson Falls!!</div>

Please enjoy some more photos of our quick trip to the Oregon Coast in December! I honestly can't wait to go and take all my friends who visit me to the coast. Coming from a land lock state that is filled with over 10,000 lakes, it still has nothing like the ocean (even though Lake Superior comes pretty close). I will always hear the ocean call my name and am happy to answer the call from time to time. </div>

This little gem was hidden off the main road. When driving down the highway we saw a scenic highway sign and took a sudden turn without thinking. The road lead us to a very small town, we turned down some really small roads and landed in this beautiful spot. We climbed a sandy hill, ran through the tall grass, and enjoyed the view that we had all to ourselves. </div>

Have you seen The Goonies ( Hey you guuyyyyysssssss!!!!)? Well, if you have then you have seen Cannon Beach and you would love it as much as you love the movie!!! I truly wish we would have arrived earlier and spent more time at Cannon Beach, but I guess making it in time for the sunset is just as wonderful! Dave and I first pulled into a viewing spot, got out, pulled the end scene of The Goonies up on our iphones....and then realized we were on the wrong side of the rock! So into the car we went to try and get on the correct side because I HAD to see it just like in the movie. I don't know why I had to but I just did! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most of our stops along the coast, Dave and I had to ourselves. It was so peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing to take little breaks staring out into the ocean. The only spots we encountered a lot of other tourists were Hug Point and Cannon Beach. Even though they had lots of tourists, I would go back to both places to explore more. The coast is only 1 hour 30 min. away from Portland, so if you are in the area make sure you take a day to explore! I know we will be making many trips this summer, answering those calls of the ocean whenever them ring us come!</div>

Oh man, I had some big hopes for March at the beginning of the month. But as the monthly sped by it felt like I just fell back into my same old routine. I now know that I need to intentionally keep checking in with my goals and my progress. So, I'm going to make sure I have it in my planner half way through the month to make sure that I do! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't do bad on my March goals though: I walked/ran 52 miles (almost did it every day), blogged more than I usually have (but not as much as I wanted), had less tv time (but man...so many good shows are on!!) and created some pretty good weekly meal plans (but somethings I didn't do it until Thursday). It's all about progress right, small or large, it's all progress!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are my goals for the lovely month of April: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.<b> Bake a loaf a bread</b> - I didn't do it last month BUT will do it this month!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.<b> Decrease my intake of soda</b>: uggghhhhhh!!! I am sooo addicted to soda, it's bad...really bad! I drink it all day, all night and rarely take in other liquids. (it's okay to judge me..I deserve it) This month I'm going to start drinking more water and other good liquids for me..not just have a diet soda IV in my arm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b>Explore at least 3 new things in PDX:</b> I want to keep learning more this great city we have moved to. There is so many things that Portland has to offer that we need/ want to learn about and experience. I can't wait to share with you what we do! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <b>Groove my body</b>: I loved intentionally making sure I walked/ran a mile a day. I didn't count the activity I did throughout my normal day; walking and lifting at work, running errands, ect. it had to be something I set out to do specifically to move my body. I want to keep it up and maybe add a little bit more choices to like dancing or workout dvd. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>Read at least 30 pages a day</b>: last month I didn't read very much or the month before that. I love reading and I need to make sure that I take time to do it. I need to turn off the tv, pick up a book and make it happen. Sometimes I feel like I try to multi-task to much and sitting and reading is a waste of time. WHICH...reading is never a waste of time and I need to change the way I think about it. I LOVE READING...and need to feel like its okay to sit and do it as long as I want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making goals is the first part and now onto the second part, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making an action plan so I can accomplish my goals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month, this month is going to be a great month!</div>

When the sun is shining and both Dave and I are free for the day, we look at each other and say, "Let's Go!". Where we are going, we don't know. We just walk down to the TriMet station, get on the train and let the day take us. We usually grab some food at a food cart, eat in a park, and then spend the rest of the day walking down different streets, exploring this wonderful city. Here are some photos from our last walk about:</div>

GUESS WHAT! If you didn't know, Dave and I moved to Portland, Oregon!!! Yep, we packed up our place in Minneapolis at the end of December and drove out west. Can I just tell you something, between you and me, I freakin LOVE it here! Don't worry, I will be sharing with you all of our adventure and exploring our new city.<br />
<br />
Before we landed in Portland, we spent our holiday on the Oregon Coast, exploring while we waited for our apartment to be available. We haven't been to the ocean since living in Australia, we were LOOOONNNGGG overdue. If it wasn't December Dave and I would have ran into the ocean to give it a kiss, hello! We spent the next day and half driving north up the coast, pulling over to look at the wonderful views, and enjoying the peace that the ocean has to offer you.<br />

This was our first stop on Christmas morning, we randomly pulled over and found this beautiful spot. What was so interesting about this location was the "river" of water that lead from the ocean into the bank. Also if you can see in the bottom picture, the ocean water rushed around the rock formation creating a river and met up with the ocean again on the other side. There were small currents and you could see the erosion from where the sand once measured. We walked around the area for a while, getting closer looks at the landscape, watching dogs and their owners play fetch, and dreaming about owning one of the houses with a view. It was a great first stop on our day full of adventure. </div>

I did it, I made one that will move my dreams to being closer to reality. It happened all of a sudden...i woke up made a few phone calls and within 2 hours, BAAMMMM, leap taken!! So what does one wear on such an occasion? Whatever they threw on that morning...and this is that outfit.<br />

I woke up with no plans for the day but to sit at my desk and do work on the computer. Therefore, I wanted something that was comfortable but not be in my sweats. Cause let's face it..its SOOO easy to wear pjs and sweatpants when you don't plan on leaving the apartment! The great thing is that these pants are basically dressy sweatpants....I LOVE THEM!! When we drove out west I swear I wore them everyday!! </div>

OH, can we talk about this shirt for a second! I honestly believe it was made with me in mind, it's such a pretty skull! I love the gold tinted butterflies flying around and out of it, such a hauntingly beautiful shirt. Remember last time I told you I loved hard and soft, I wasn't lying to ya!</div>

3. Housewives of New York City is back!!!! YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!! I love these crazy, loud, rude, entitled, dramatic (I could go on) ladies. I think it's because I don't have drama in my life (don't want it either) but I love watching it on tv. I'm such a sucker for trashy reality tv...I can't help it. How can someone not love Ramona 'Crazy Eyes' Singer? </div>

4. People doing amazing things for abandoned puppies - melts my heart and makes me cry. Have you read <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/shocking-dog-transformation/" target="_blank">this story</a> yet, about the dog someone thought was a pile of trash? Thankfully, they took a closer look and discovered it was a dog and then changed the dogs life forever. It was an amazing transformation from heavy, matted furball to a handsome prince. </div>

One of my goals this month is to run a mile a day, sometimes more than one mile. So far I have ran 19 miles, not to shabby for only 10 days into the month! When I run I need to listen to music, it's the only thing that keeps me going and focused. With the goal of running more this month and training for a half marathon, I needed more tunes. Here is a list of some of the top songs on my running playlist right now. Take a listen and you may just want to download them yourself! ( you can find 13 more songs <a href="http://photoshoroberts.blogspot.com/2012/04/tuesday-tunes-run-baby-run.html" target="_blank">here</a>!)</div>

Can you feel it?! The sun starting to shine a little bit brighter, the air becoming a bit warmer, the charge of spring slowly poking it's head out? I most definitely can feel it and am welcoming it with open arms! Whenever the sun is shining here in Portland, I feel like I HAVE to wear a dress or skirt, there is no other option! The sun is shining and I must obey by wearing spring clothes.</div>

Not only when the sun is shining do I feel the need to wear skirts or dresses, I feel the need to wear bright colors. Your outfits are starting to show color and bloom just like the flowers around you. Matching bright colors is easy, just make sure you pair them with a color that isn't overwhelming and can stabilize your outfit. For me that is my grey skirt with black tights. </div>

I LOVE these boots, I wear them all the time with jeans, dresses, skirts, anything. They help give my outfits the edge that I desire. I am a huge fan of wearing semi-girly clothes with harder accessories. I'm a sucker for almost anything that has studs, spikes, or skulls. The key is to wear them in moderation, don't over do it and try to wear all of them at the same time!</div>

So what does HANSON have to do with this outfit, you may be asking yourself. The answer is, EVERYTHING! Without HANSON, I wouldn't have picked up this sweatshirt, without this sweatshirt I wouldn't have this outfit. If you didn't know HANSON has a song, GIVE A LITTLE, which will explain everything!! (p.s. you can find the video at the bottom of the post..heck yes!!!)<br />

Should I tell you something else about this outfit? It could also be called the Old Navy and Target outfit! Yep, everything that you see was purchased from those two stores and a majority of it on clearance. I am a clearance queen, I go to those racks first before looking anywhere else. I also like to scan the 30% racks at Target so I know what I want to keep my eyes on when things it marked down to 50%! </div>

I LOOOOOVVEEEE these shoes, but really don't wear them much. They tend to be comfortable in the beginning and then eat up your heels half way through the day. Once I take them off, they usually remain off! And these pants, my absolute favorite pants from Old Navy. I actually had to throw them away the other day because I wore them to much and they got an unpleasant hole in and unpleasant area (you ALL know what I'm saying!). </div>

For some reason, March just feels like a month of change. It could be because winter is slowly leaving and spring is just around the corner, the air starts to feel different. But there is something in the air, Dave feels it too. So what a great month to start blogging again, making goals, and start to make some needed little changes in life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I believe in making small, attainable goals that push me towards living the life I picture for myself. Here are the goals I have for March:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>Bake a loaf a bread</b> - different bloggers make it look so easy and I LOOOOVVEEE bread. So, why not push myself a little and try to make it myself! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Create weekly meal plans</b> - meal planning is a struggle for me. At the beginning of each week, I feel like I've never cooked before and have no idea what I like to eat...so we just eat stuff, not meals, stuff. Ick! I'm starting to pin away recipes on pinterest, so hopefully I actually have meals planned and not just all the delicious desserts I find!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.<b> BLOG!!</b> - yay! I noticed when I was blogging regularly, I was happy. I had things to say, adventures to plan, music and outfits to share, and felt like what I was doing was worthwhile! When I don't blog, I feel kind of blue and boring. SOOOO, here we go, you my friend will be getting LOTS more of me..like it or not! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4.<b> Post 3 outfit posts/week</b> - Currently, I nanny full time so I'm not getting dressed up for the 9 hours I am with two little kids. But on weekends I love getting dressed a bit, I'm hoping by posting outfits that I will actually get dressed more during the week as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>Run a mile every day</b> - ARRRGGHHHH!! I haven't really ran since my half marathon in October. I had a hip injury and then you know....I got lazy, real lazy. I need to get back to running regularly, so running a mile will help with that. The hardest part is to actually go out and run, but a mile is only 11 min. and I can do that. The hope is that when I'm running my mile, I just keep running because the hardest part is done, I've already started! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b>NO TV 1 day/week</b> - I love t.v., it's true. I LOVE reality t.v. and I watch it more than I should and I will lie to you about the hours if you ever ask me! There are more important things I could be doing with my time, so I'm going to try and ween myself off of tv slowly. But the Housewives of New York start this week...so I definitely will be watching tv on that day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I would love to hear what your goals are for the month?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't have any, you can always join me on some of mine!</div>

Hello! Hello! I'm pretty lucky to work at a bookstore that lets you wear basically whatever you want. The only guidelines I was given when hired were: 1) wear closed toe shoes and 2) don't wear anything you wouldn't wear in front of your grandma. Easy enough! Sometimes I don't feel like dressing up so it's a company shirt and a cardigan or sweatshirt. But most times I enjoy putting thought into how I present myself to the world.<br />

This is an outfit I wear on a typical day. It has comfort, style and function..easy to lift lots and lots of books! I have had this sweatshirt for a few years now, but have just now figured out to layer with it instead of just wearing a scarf. I love how just adding a nicer shirt underneath dresses up a simple sweatshirt. </div>

Last year when coaching for Girls on the Run for the first time, it was a tough year for me. I was going through a lot of personal things that truly affected my self esteem. But slowly through the 10 weeks this group of 15 young girls started to change the way I saw things, myself, and how I worked in this world. They saved me. I thought a lot about the lessons we were teaching this young girls and how they still apply to us as adults. Therefore, each week on the blog we will be discussing the same topics that the girls are learning about!<br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">LEARNING ABOUT COOPERATION</span></h2>
<div>
We all know that we are suppose to work in groups well and that being a team player is a great selling point for any resume. What we don't talk about is how hard this really can be! It's difficult at times to work with a group of diverse people all with different opinions and accomplish one main goal. Raise your hand if you have even been paired in a group project with someone you don't particular get along and are not sure how to work with them! I'm sure we all have experienced this either in our schooling, work, or other areas in our life. How did you accomplish it? Did you listen to the others, not just wait for them to stop talking so you can talk, but really listen to what they have to say and add? This is the first important step, hearing what all the voices have to say, then it's important that as a group to define your goal and how each person can have a part in that goal. When you look at the final result, if you really have cooperated with your group you will be able to see the areas in which everyone has uniquely added. Since we are all unique and add something special, it important that we let that shine through. </div>

<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">STANDING UP TO PEER PRESSURE</span></h2>
<div>
Even though I am a 29 year old adult woman, I still fall victim to peer pressure...sigh, it is true. Peer pressure doesn't stop when you leave high school, college, or hit a certain age, it follows you throughout your life. The things we feel pressured about have changed, but the pressure is still there. Now it's about eating that cupcake, buying that expensive item you can't really afford, going out when you don't really want to, getting that trendy outfit to look younger, getting a better paying job, ..the list goes on and on. Even though the things we feel pressured about have changed, the way we can handle the pressure is the same. What we teach at GOTR is to STOP, BREATHE, LISTEN, and RESPOND. When you feel pressured stop, take a deep breathe (this will help calm you), listen to that little voice in your head, and then respond. This is an easy thing to do, but we all forget about it from time to time. Next time you feel pressured just remember that you do have a choice and it is one that should be respected, so stop take a deep breathe, listen to how you truly feel, and then respond accordingly. If the person respects you they will understand, if they don't understand maybe it's time to reevaluate that relationship. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How do you work with groups? How do you stand up to peer pressure now that you are an adult? I think these are topics that still affect us as adults and I would love for this to be a place of discussion. I would love to have you leave comments where we can continue the discussion, help support each other, and feel safe to ask questions. </div>

First off, Girls on the Run was founded by the amazing, Molly Baker, in North Carolina back in 1996. Now it is an international organization (what!?!) with the Twin Cities chapter starting in 2011 by Mary Urban and Kori Fitshchen (thank you ladies!!). The mission of Girls on the Run <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">i</span>s to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and
confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates
running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> They envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams (umm...are you not already falling in love with organization?) Also, an important thing to note, is that this <b>IS NO</b>T a running club!! We don't train girls to run and compete, we encourage girls to keep moving forward be it running, walking, or skipping! It's about setting goals and working towards accomplishing them, in your own style and time!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The trained coaches work with the girls and teach a 20 lesson curricula that empowers the girls to have a greater sense of self-awareness, achievement, a foundation of team building and enhancing their communities, all in order to help them become strong, healthy, and confident women. Some topics inclue how to handle peer pressure, dealing with body image and the media, feeling comfortable with our emotions, and community service project. As well as the curriculum that we teach each week throughout the 10 week program (we meet twice a week ) we have interactive activities such as running and playing games. This helps the girls apply what they have learned, reflect, and express their own unique selves (as well as gets them moving their bodies).</div>

After the 10 weeks of running and learning the program all the girls, their running buddy, and the coaches run or walk a 5k! This is sometimes the very first 5k a girl has done (as well as some running buddies) and they worked hard to cross that finish line! I remember my first 5k, I was 25 and I struggled throughout the course but crossing the finish line I felt triumphant and proud! This is going to be what all the girls, their running buddies, and coaches will feel when they watch the girls cross the line at the 5k!</div>
