first.

hello.

first post... isn't this one usually the most important? i'm not sure.

anyway i feel like i should give you a little bit of what to expect on this blog, EVERYTHING!

i love fitness, cooking and baking... so you will see healthy recipes and workouts from time to time... and not so healthy treats sometimes. :) everyone needs treats now and then. 

i also love my full time job which is doing early intervention with kids who have autism. so don't be surprised if you see pictures of the fun crafts that i do with them or if i brag a little bit too much about how lucky i am to have the opportunity to help families. i would say that it is the perfect job for me. 

with that said, i am going to start school this january to get my bachelors in special education, thats the first thing.. so you may see me posting about that as well. eventually i will have my masters in education and get whats called a BCBA (board certified behavior analyst) so i can work with these amazing kids who have autism and put programs in place to teach them behaviors and academics.

you'll read a lot about my husband, and what it is like for him owning a gym and two other businesses.. and what it's like for me of course. :) and how we struggle with meeting not only our fitness goals but our financial goals as well. sometimes things get rough, you'll read about it and might relate. things get tough for everyone right?

my animals!!! i have the cutest dog ever, his name is Milo, he is a ball of energy and is super crazy.. but we love him. i also have two cats that are brothers, fenway and toulouse. you'll see lots of pictures.

oh and my cute families. there is never a dull moment between my family and my husbands family. 

i am so excited to start writing again... so bear with me while i learn this whole blogging thing. i'm sure i'll get much better with time. 

oh as for the name of this blog sprinkles & shimmer i am totally a girl that loves anything that sparkles, it makes me happy. as well as sprinkles... there are just a million different types of them! i love it. and one day i may use them all. 

so that's my story.. thanks for stopping by. i hope we become fast friends. :)
