Slumps and Faves
I was in a little bit of a slump yesterday. I loved hanging out with my little sidekick after work but after she went to sleep, I had a decent amount of time to be productive before bed. I just wasn’t feelin’ it. So instead, I painted my nails and watched Glee, which ended up being…

Healthy Chocolate Sauce
Things have been very savory on ye ol’ blog lately. I can’t even remember the last time I posted a sweet recipe! Please accept this as a token of apology. I was thinking about a chocolate sundae ALL morning yesterday. Usually after teaching Zumba, my thought process looks something like the following: -That was SOOOOOO…

Meg: Holiday Yarn Wreaths
To say I’m excited for the holiday season is an extreme understatement. October is always a fun month filled with various birthdays, horror films, and Halloween festivities, but the moment November arrives, the world just seems a little brighter to me.

Birthday
Welp, another birthday, another year older. Shall we begin the special treatment? Bahaha. Birthday pomp and circumstance makes me a little shy. For starters, whenever anyone draws attention to me and sings “Happy Birthday,” especially if a Japanese drum and fruit boat are involved, I look like a beet afterwards. A card and a cake…

First postpartum half marathon: done! It was a little bit of a last-minute decision to sign up, but I’m really glad that I went out there and did it. I have a goal winter half that I’ve been training for, and one of my friends suggested running the one this morning as a “practice” for…
