Random thoughts on a Saturday sunrise morning in Atlanta:
1. Y’all.
Just now I had to pause my fingers to try and find the words.
I’m at the Haven blogging conference in Atlanta and last night I had a mini meet-up with over 70 members of my coaching group. I stood up and tried to talk and started crying with the sheer joy of it all. Watching people achieve their dreams is humbling and incredible and amazing and awe-inspiring.
And I’m so grateful I had a front-row seat.
2. Another episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is live on my YouTube Channel. I found the CUTEST way to organize your suitcase for under $20. I added it to the end of the post and you can see it here.
3. Are you aware that there is a Downton Abbey 2 about to show up in our world? It’s coming to theaters in 2022. Here’s a look at the cast.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We discussed this amazing before and after and then I shared how blue and yellow is my new favorite color combination.
5. I found the most amazing new treat at Starbucks and it’s not coffee. It’s yogurt with fruit and oatmeal and yesterday my husband walked a mile to go and get one for me.
Nothing ever tasted sweeter. 🙂
And now?
WAIT until you see all the FINDS I discovered for us this week.
LET’S GO.
And just when I thought my yogurt sounded yummy?
This power breakfast of champions showed up.
Peanut butter and chocolate and banana and greek yogurt showed up together.
You can see the yummy recipe here.
This is SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA.
She made these chairs over for almost nothing.
Wait until you see the before here.
This summer kitchen is everything that’s right in this world.
Light and bright and airy and filled with yummy food.

And maybe I’m just hungry this morning, but I really wanted these pancakes to hop in my tummy.
They are perfect for a lazy Saturday morning.

Hi Karianne, I know you answered my question before but what weight loss program did you use? I'm so in need of some help to loose weight for health reasons. I should have written down the answer when you told me but I didn't. Can you please send it again, thanks so much, blessings, Jan
