Sweets for your sweet

I don’t think I’m going to give anything up for Lent this year. For starters, I’ve already consumed my usual Lent-banned suspects within the past 24 hours: nut butter, wine and chocolate. Next to that, I’ve found that having a little one means that I’ll eat pretty much anything that’s available and quick. Sweet potato…

In the New Year…

2012 was an amazing, amazing year. It definitely went by a little more quickly than I would have liked, but was a life-changer. Livi was born in the very beginning of the year (I’m still in shock that her birthday is next week!) and we’ve also added a fur sister for Bella. Our house and…

Out with a bang + party apps, cocktails

Can you believe that Monday is New Years eve?! What do you have planned? I think we’re going to spend the day relaxing and then head to a family/friend party later that night. Since little miss will be a pumpkin by about 8pm or so (even though she stayed awake until 9 on Christmas Eve),…

First Christmas with Liv

I’m pretty sure nothing in the world makes me happier than A house filled with the people I love so much, warm food waiting in the kitchen, (+ egg casserole, ham, tamales, oatmeal, mimosas and the necessary nog) and moments that are so beautifully imprinted in my mind. After the Pilot, Liv, MIL and I…

The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the streams were running from the recent rain, and it felt nice to shake our legs out while enjoying beautiful scenery. After our adventure, we met up with the cousins for our annual…

let there be lights

Hi friends 🙂 How’s the weekend going? Thank you so much for your race tips and motivation yesterday. I especially loved the fact that I won’t remember how much it sucked to wake up early, I’ll remember how I feel when I cross the finish line. I woke up with pretty fresh legs -I think…
