We Are Spring Breaking It (& Friday Links)

Jack's Spring Break begins tomorrow and David is OFF for the whole week!  This break comes at a much needed time, as we are all starting to unravel a bit and I'm feeling a strong need to hit the pause and then reset buttons.

We are spending the first weekend with some friends at the lake and then headed down to Orlando for, most importantly, time with other dear friends and, secondly, to dip our toes into the land of Florida Theme Parks with a trip to Universal Studios!  

Have a great week, y'all!  I'll leave you with some interesting links:

Eating to save her mind.

I've been hearing so much about the benefits of turmeric lately.  It seems to be the new craze.  I am excited to try this miso-turmeric dressing and this tropical carrot, ginger, and turmeric smoothie.

In addition to drinking smoothies for breakfast, I've been juicing more lately and have loved reaching for a fresh green juice in the afternoons instead of a coffee- I feel more invigorated over the long haul rather than an energy spike followed by the inevitable slump.

Recommended by a friend, this is an excellent read by Ariel Levy.  Now, I cannot wait to start reading her memoir, The Rules Do Not Apply.  

Speaking of books, I might try my hand at an audiobook during our road trip next week.  I am not anti-book listening, I just haven't found time to carve out for this in my day of virtually no car travel.  Yet, I hear RAVE reviews for the audio version, in particular, of George Saunders' debut novel

I am really loving this sporty swimsuit look.
