For today’s giveaway, I’ve been cooking.. or uncooking up a little something. Our dehydrator is full of macaroons, and I’d love to give them to one of you, along with some other fun holiday treats/goodies.
I’ll also be ordering a copy of “HIIT IT!” (which has ALL of my macaroon recipes inside!) for the winner, which is a favorite thing because a lot of love went into making it. I poured my heart, soul, and fitness knowledge into the pages, and am so excited to share it with you all.
Some of the things you’ll find in “HIIT It!”:
-A thorough HIIT background: how it works, and how to use it in your own routine
-FULL weekly fitness plans depending on how many days you can train each week
-Workouts that can be completed in 30 minutes or less with body weight and dumbbells alone
-My HIIT style of eating, macro counting, and delicious recipes that can be made in advance to be enjoyed throughout the week
-All of my macaroon recipes 🙂
In addition to the macaroons and book, I’ll also be including some fun holiday goodies, like teas, chocolate, peppermint bark, whatever I see that looks fun. 😉

Every year my mom and I (and now my husband) drive around town and look at the lights. It’s fun to see the crazy ones, timed to music, and the giant inflatables and the simple stands people put up.
SO many congratulations to you beautiful! I am sure your book is just brimming with love, light and positivity, just like you.
Our most stead fast holiday tradition is “cab fest.”
My sister and I are both vegans, so holiday meals for us consisted of carbs, carbs and more carbs.
5 years ago the two of us moved out of our parents house together, and thus began the tradition of carb fest. This is on Thanksgiving and Christmas, where I cook for about 12 hours, making all carbs. Garlic roasted mashed potatoes, miso gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, stuffing, vegan home made perogies, raw pumpkin pie, a salad for good measure and whatever else I feel inspired to make. One year even included a home made baked mac and cheese. Now my hunny gets to participate in the fun too! It is most likely my sisters favourite day of the year 😉

My favorite holiday tradition takes place on Christmas Eve. The night is spent with my family..eating lots of good food and singing christmas carols. Afterwards, we go to midnight mass and then come home to open our christmas pjs and drink hot cocoa.
Christmas morning is always a rush with who wakes up first and breakfast pizza!!!
My extended family began doing a “homemade” gift exchange. On Christmas day, after a big dinner we all exchange gifts that we’ve made. From cookies, to wood-work, and knitting, we have it all. This year I’m stoked to give out my gifts….I’ve taken a picture of my grandparents and made it into ornaments for everyone in the family. 🙂

I have a few.
Many years ago, really up through my high school years, I sang in the church choir for Christmas, and all through high school, I had a solo every year. I loved singing at the evening Mass on Christmas Eve. The classic Christmas hymns are still my favorites.
More recently, I love exchanging a homemade/handmade gift with my husband. We’ve pretty much made gifts for each other every Christmas except last year, when our twin girls were just 4 months old. We’ve also been making our gifts for our family, too, for going on four years now, I think. We’ve created some pretty neat things for each other and for our loved ones.
And this year, we started a new tradition. I made an Advent calendar for the girls; inside each little pouch is an activity to help count down to Christmas. We’ve already made Christmas cards, watched a couple of classic Christmas shows and eaten Santa pancakes for dinner. We’ve got baking cookies, donating to charity, and taking a lights tour on the docket over the next couple weeks.
I love watching them wake up and run to the tree though. They are 16 months old and don’t really talk, so everything is ‘Dah!’ They run from their room to the living room pointing at the tree, saying ‘Dah! Dah!’ It’s adorable. They love the lights we have all over the house and it just melts my heart to see them so excited.
Listening to my Grandpa read the Christmas story from Luke 2 on Christmas night!
Christmas Eve candle light service with my family and family dinner afterwards
Our favorite tradition is on the weekend after thanksgiving, we watch Christmas Vacation and put up the tree as a family!
Every year my family and I go downtown (we live in Chicago) to check out the Christkindlmarket and take pictures at the tree.
I bake hundreds of Christmas cookies with my mom every year. Even when I was away at college, she would save a few batches for me to do with her when I came back to town.
I love our annual Hunt for the perfect Christmas tree!
Our Christmas tradition is that we watch one Christmas every night from the day after Thanksgiving all the way thru January 1st!
Cutting down our christmas! 🙂
