Today is Michelle's birthday!!

In honor of this momentous day, let's celebrate Michelle-style!

*Start out your day with a good run. Michelle is a rockin' runner and has competed in several races, most recently a 10k!!! (That's 6.2 miles!) If you're just starting out with running, find a good training program (like the ones on coolrunning.com) and start out slowly. Michelle has also provided her running playlist so that you can have some tunes to keep you company.

Please note: We are not fitness experts!! It's always a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program!

*After your run, enjoy a nice breakfast! We've featured quite a few breakfast ideas on the blog, but here are some of Michelle's favorites:

Apple cider doughnuts

Oatmeal souffle

Homemade maple syrup for your pancakes or waffles

Or any of these quick breakfast ideas

If all else fails, you can always enjoy a Toaster Strudel, one of Michelle's favorite childhood breakfasts!

*Now that you've worked out and had a good breakfast, you can spend your day...

Ombre nails

Perfect pedicure

...Crafting!

Michelle loves to be creative. Check out the "Crafts" label on our right sidebar for lots of inspiration. One of our most popular tutorials is Michelle's DIY dry erase book.

...Reading.

...Watching a musical!!

Michelle majored in theater and loves all things dramatic. If you want to be really authentic, watch Hello, Dolly! Michelle played the starring role of Dolly Levi our senior year of high school. I may be biased, but she was even better than Barbra Streisand!
