The girls at Sunny Slide Up have decided to join in a challenge of 100 days of happy. I am personally excited to do this challenge! Right now I have a lot going on in my life between moving, getting a dog, work and planning a wedding. I realized that often times I do not step back and take in each moment and the extreme happiness that I do have in my life each and every day. I am not sure what I hope to get out of this challenge, but I know that after we discussed participating, it felt right. Here are some “whys” listed out on their website…
I encourage you to join in with us! It is simple… just go to their website 100happydays.com, register (here) and then begin to submit your happy. There are 3 ways to do it!
We have decided to do this via Instagram using the hashtag #100happydays
You can find all of us instagram!

I love this recipe. I have been wanting to share this with you for some time, but I always forget to snap some photos before I gobble it up. Well, I finally remembered the other night, and here you go.
The Easiest Turkey Pesto Meatballs
This is so easy and has just a handful of ingredients. It literally takes like 45 minutes tops to prep and cook. Plus, it is turkey so a way more healthy choice for meatballs. Be sure to pair with your whole wheat pasta and nice green salad too!
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/2 cup of pesto
1/4 cup of breadcrumbs (whole wheat if you can find them)
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of Italian herb mix
1 jar of tomato pasta sauce
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of casserole dish with non-stick spray.
2. Pour sauce into bottom of casserole dish.
3. Mix together the turkey, pesto, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and garlic with your hands to combine and roll into balls about 2 tablespoons large. Could make smaller if you prefer.
4. Place the meatballs on top of the sauce and COVER dish.
5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Shorter if you made smaller meatballs. Cook your pasta while these are in the oven.
6. Serve with pasta of your choice, a dash of mozzarella cheese maybe or parmesan shreads….and don’t forget the salad!

I was recently having lunch with my friend and fellow designer, Kelsey. We were eating lunch and I couldn’t help but notice her watch!
I love the size and the bright teal color. She told me about the watch and I began to like it even more. This is the Watch Hunger Stop watch by Michael Kors. You can read more about #watchhungerstop here. Such an amazing partnership.
Michael Kors has partnered with World Food Programme and for every watch purchased, WFP will provide 100 meals to a child in need. Through this program, they have already delivered over 4 million meals.
I don’t know… I may have to go and get myself a watch!
