Last Saturday, I attended the “Be Fit and Pain Free in 2011” event hosted by Kathy Kaehler and sponsored by Salonpas Pain Relief Patches. SALONPAS is a pain patch with NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) medication you can put on your body for relief. So instead of taking an aspirin or ibuprofen, you can just put a […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]
Today had so much potential. We had plans to go hiking, stopped by the farmers market afterwards and maybe grill some fresh corn when we got home. Well, it’s not happening. After being spoiled with mid 70s temperature the last few weeks, the rain surprised us today. Instead of showing you some pictures from […]
I am a morning person. I like waking up early and getting a lot of things accomplished before I head out the door for work. There’s nothing like a hot cup of tea or coffee and a tasty breakfast plate that gets me excited to start my day. I had a great start to my […]
600 miles and 24 hours later, I am home sweet home. I don’t know when I’ve felt more tired, driving solo for 4 hours or the morning after a long race? 4 hours is the longest time I have ever been driven straight and I did it twice in the last 24 hours. I did the […]

I don’t remember the last time I used my big DSLR camera. I didn’t even bring it on our last family vacation. I want to use it more often though and I thought of the excuses I had that was preventing me from grabbing it….and the biggest gripe I had was that it was too […]
The mood is jolly around here. Chris and I are starting our Thanksgiving celebration & preparation today.

It’s going […]
– I’m close to starting a wardrobe capsule. I am trying it out for 3 months and see what happens from there. Here are 33 reasons to start this project – Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, how about working on 1 thing a month. I really like this idea – I love this […]
It has been awhile since I’ve made muffins. So long that I forgot the last time I made them and searched the blog and see the last time I used my muffin tin. Can I just say how great it is to use keywords and search for certain things that have happened in your life […]
Before I start the recap of the race events this past weekend, I just want to say that…I DID IT!! I am proud to say that I am now a two-time half marathon finisher!!! I had a great time running the race. It was even more special because I ran it with friends and […]
We visited another location for a possible wedding venue. This location has a spectacular ocean view, surrounded with lots of greenery and very private because it’s tucked in a residential area. This is in the same area as the previous location we visited. The view is the back drop so no need add a lot […]
After resting all day, I am feeling a little better tonight. I think I drank gallons of water, probably ate a whole bag of clementines and drank Emergen-C every hour. I’ll do what it takes to get better. I am determined. I ate soup all day but the most exciting thing I ate was my […]
My “about me” page is going to be updated soon, just posting my old one as a blog post so I have a way to archive it. A lot of things have changed since I started my blog in 2010 (I got married, I became a new mom, we bought a new house and […]
