Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies & Launches

I have really enjoyed participating in the Secret Recipe Club. One of the best parts of the club is discovering new, incredible blogs and bloggers. Sadly, the SRC lost one of their members recently. Daniel’s wife wrote of his passing in this post. As a tribute to Daniel, many of us are making and posting his recipes. I made these amazingly delicious peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

My heart is with Daniel’s family & friends.

On a lighter note…I hope everyone had a great weekend. One of the highlights of my weekend was our Body Pump and Body Step launches. A few pictures, the pump crew take 1:

Love launch days!

I also received a fantastic gift from a friend- an autographed copy of Jenna’s book! I so wanted to go to her book signing, but both Kaylin and I were under the weather and I didn’t make it.  I heard she is incredibly sweet. Thank you Amelia for the gifty!!

So sorry to hear about Daniel's passing. I think it's awesome that you paid tribute with one of his delicious recipes.

The launch pictures are awesome - love how happy you are in that first one! Your outfit + ribbon/bow in your hair look great!

that's such a lovely way to pay tribute to Daniel - so bittersweet at the same time!

I've been wondering if Jenna's book is any good! If it's good keep me posted - if it's not good keep me posted hahah.

I read about Daniel's passing on Veronica's blog last week. How very sad. Makes you remember to live each day to the fullest, as you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Love your pics and your crew! I'd take your class, if I lived closer! Looks like fun!

So super cool you got an autographed copy of Jenna's book! Yay!
