If you’ve been following along on Facebook, you know that I hit a new milestone yesterday…10 miles! I ran 10 miles yesterday in 1 hr 50 minutes. That’s not super fast, but it averages about 11 min pace. I definitely got slower as the miles went by. But just thinking about two months ago, I…

Caramel Apple Cake Recipe
It’s apple season! I have such good memories of apple picking season growing up…eating the crisp, ripe apples, eating the baked goods my mom made, even selling apples outside Cougar Stadium for $0.25 each. My parents have lots of apple trees so this year I went and picked a bunch and now I get to…
12 Cozy Fall Fashions
It’s finally cool enough to start thinking about fall fashions: sweaters, cardigans, and scarves. I’ve tried to wear them in the past few weeks, but always abandon them shortly after putting them on due to the heat. But I’m currently wearing a cardigan, jeans, and boots, and the prospect of months more of these types…

Favorite Fall Boots
This September has been hot and cold, but mostly hot. I’m excited that October has the prospect of true, cool fall weather, accompanied by one of my favorite things about the fall…boots! Well, boots and clothes. But mostly the boots. I actually wore some fall boots last week to a thing I had and I…

Fall Mantle
September is fall, right? Sometimes it’s hard to remember when the temperatures are still hot and the trees seem to be taking their sweet time changing colors. Well I brought it indoors! The entire summer I was feeling kind of BLAH about projects and decorating…I was super burned out. I knew that I needed to…
Kids Homework Station
This post is sponsored by Scotch Expressions Tape but all opinions are 100% mine. My son started Kindergarten this year. Some people get teary about this big step but I was super excited.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been a fan of Duck Tape® for a long time. As a kid, it was always the strongest tape that would bind anything together. But now it comes in SO many different colors and patterns…
LeapPad Ultra Giveaway!
We got some super fun mail a few weeks ago… The LeapPad Ultra is out! One thing I love about the Leapfrog company is that they really try to improve each product they make, trying to listen to the parent feedback they get. We had the Leappad 2 and while they were pretty fun, they…
