I had a lovely run at the park this morning. I am trying to run consistently so I can get back my running mojo. I seem to lose running steam whenever I don’t do it consistently. I have been spending time at the gym or hiking this past summer and Fall season seems to be […]
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 […]
My youngest sister Hazel, who is a senior in high school, is enjoying her Spring Break this week. I invited her to have an early workout date with me this morning. She joined me on her first ever Zumba class (and first ever gym trip). The class was different because there was sub today and […]
“I can see clearly now the rain is gone” Rain Begone I had that song in my head on my way to the gym this morning. I think the weather does put a damper in my mood. When I wake up and it’s raining, I have less motivation to go to the gym, I […]
What a great weekend I had. Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes to Chris. He said Thank You to you all. I got to bond with this little one (Jonah, my newborn nephew, 3 days old). His face has a lot of expressions and he has a strong grip too. I let him hold […]

The fiance returned this week from his family vacation and fishing trip from La Paz in Mexico. He brought me some neat presents. The bracelet have opal stones on it. It’s the first time I’ve heard about these stones. After the fiance told me it was rare, I went ahead and looked it up […]
Ever since Monday, I haven’t been feeling well. My beverage of choice has been fresh ginger tea with honey. Sometimes I make it really strong and it’s spicy, sometimes a little light and with more honey. I’ve also been craving comfort food. Chocolate gives me comfort. I have been adding chocolate shavings on top of […]
I love baking. I make decadent dessert recipes and I make healthy ones. The cookies I have been enjoying is definitely on the healthier side. Eating cookies is not the healthiest food you can eat, but if you can make them healthier and still taste good, this is how I imagine they would taste. These […]
This week marks our first year wedding anniversary. Around this time last year, the husband and I, along with our family and friends, all vacationed to Puerto Vallarta in celebration of our wedding. Our actual wedding anniversary is May 30th, but because we got married last year during Memorial Day weekend, this weekend feels more […]
We hosted Friendsgiving at my house this year, I hope it will become a yearly tradition. We have a few young kiddos now in our circle of friends, so we asked everyone to come early around 4pm so we don’t keep the kids up too late. We had a great time catching up with […]
I made breakfast last night in the form of overnight oats. Usually overnight oats are made with uncooked oats but I wanted some chewy oats this morning and used cooked steel cut oats instead. It worked. I put in 1/2 cup cooked steel cut oats and 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt. I used Fage […]
I’m changing the format of my book reports. The once-a-month book reports were getting too long and by the time I sit down and write about the books, I’ve forgotten my review already. I’ll be posting the book reports in real time, so that they will be fresh in my mind. I’ll post as soon […]
