Frosty Flapjacks

December 6, 2009 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Well, the weekend is winding down and so am I. I’m a bit anal about my daily schedule, and making sure every day is productive in some way. This weekend I certainly worked on improving my lack of spontaneity, as it did not exactly go as I would have planned.

Unfortunately, I did not manage to capture many of my eats on camera, except for Saturday’s breakfast. After failing to attempt Kath’s Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancake, I resorted to TJ’s good ol’ mix.

  • 1 1/2 cups TJ’s Buttermilk Pancake Mix + extra baking powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • cinnamon
  • garnished with 1/2 banana, walnuts & real maple syrup

Adding pumpkin makes the pancakes super smooth and light – yum yum!

An unproductive weekend also means little exercise. Yesterday I fit in a mere 30 minutes on the treadmill and today’s trip to the gym wasn’t much better: 20 minutes ARC trainer + 10 minutes running (track) + 25 minutes strength training (added in some new moves today!). I think I burned the most calories dancing at the Christmas party last night ; )

I hope you all are staying warm. It is absolutely freezing outside. Snow is in the weather forecast for tomorrow – crazy! Jack Frost has certainly been nippin’ at my nose. We try to avoid using our heater, so I’ve been bundling up with layers. Hot tea and candles are my #1 sources of coziness these days.

What do you enjoy most about cold, winter days?

    Looks really yummy, that’s something I gotta make once I start my winter break. The best thing about winter? getting a break from school and enjoying hot starbucks.

#happynewyear
❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
