I set out all the things I needed for the race the night before. Fairy tutus. Check. I filled my hydration belt with water. Ipod fully charged. My wake-up call the morning of the race was 4am. We had to be at the starting line and at our corral at 4:30am. I live close […]
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 are heading to the race expo today at Downtown Disney. We’re picking up all our official race items (i.e. […]

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 […]
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 […]
I mentioned on this post how my sugar consumption had become a daily habit. It first started around Halloween last year and lasted until early January this year. It was just so hard to stop. I have no problems with enjoying sugar on special occasion but eating it daily had wreck havoc on my moods, […]

A tragic accident…. Someone is dead. But who did what?” I wanted to read this book for awhile […]
My one little word last year really helped me be more intentional throughout the year. It was my first year and it was very helpful at times when I was at a crossroad in making decisions, when I was struggling to move forward and when I needed directions. This year, my one little word is […]
Tessemae’s Salad Dressings – I found this dressing in January and I think I am on my 7th bottle already. My favorite is the Southwest Ranch flavor and I’m on my 3rd bottle now. The ingredients are very simple and all real food. It packs a lot of flavor and a little goes […]
I feel like I’m getting my baking mojo back. I didn’t bake much during the holidays, which usually is the busiest time in my kitchen, so maybe I’m making up for it now? It’s also because I’ve organized my pantry and now all my baking supplies are in one place and gathering all the ingredients […]
