Whew–I just took two weeks off blogging and it was awesome. My husband also had the two weeks off so we just got to spend all day together, amidst suffering through the World’s Longest Cold, which I still have a little bit of. So happy new year! 2014 is going to be a great year….

Llama Llama Holiday Drama!
I need to have a moment of honesty here…I’m in a funk. Who is with me?! I hope you are not, but I also hope you are because then I wouldn’t feel like such a schlub. I’ve been struggling for awhile now, not really feeling like myself. I feel like I’m living this Reader’s Digest…
I Ran a Half Marathon!
So I did it…I ran a half marathon. And just four months ago I couldn’t even run a mile. And I did 13.1. I wish I felt a little more impressed with myself, but I guess I’m just that person who can never be satisfied. But it’s what keeps me going, keeps me motivated to…
Cookies or Lean Cuisine Honestly Good?
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lean Cuisine, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HonestlyGood #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO. Wanna know what I had for breakfast today? Two peanut butter cookies from last night. Yep–that’s how I do it. I treat myself right. Nope…wrong. My…
Arby’s Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich & Giveaway!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Arby’s for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. One great childhood memory I have is going to Arby’s with my best friend and her dad in the winter. We’d go to Arby’s, get some yummy roast beef sandwiches, and go home and watch movies…
Back to School with BIC®
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. One of my fondest memories of my grade school years were notes. Passing notes was a huge thing back then. (I guess it could still be huge but I would have no idea.) But more than…
Ten Great Audio Books to Read
Anyone who knows me knows that I pretty much read exclusively by audio books. I don’t even remember the last time I made it entirely through a regular book. Every time I try to read them, I fall asleep within about ten minutes and/or get interrupted by someone (*cough cough KIDS cough cough*). I have…
Running a 5k in One Month
Last Saturday I ran my very first 5k. Seems kind of crazy that I’m 29 and just now running my first 5k. The truth is, it never occurred to me to even do one until now. A 5k is 3.1 miles. It’s not really that bad. But I wanted to run the whole thing straight…
Training for a Half Marathon.
Yesterday I was determined to actually write a worth-while post. It was great–full of handy tips and tricks for travelling with young kids. And then it got erased. Completely. Gone. I don’t have the energy to re-write it at this time so I think you’ll have to google that topic until I do. Instead I’m…
Kiss and Makeup mmmkay?
All week long I’ve been having anxiety about the fact I haven’t posted one single thing on the blog this week. And last week I think it was nothing but sponsored stuff. You guys, I just have to apologize for that. I am not sure who of you is a loyal reader or not but…
A Difficult Anniversary
One year ago my brother released his wife from life support and officially let her spirit leave this earth. It’s the anniversary week of the hardest week of his life, of really our family’s life. I know that so many of you have said so many prayers for my brother and his family and I…
5 Tips for Falling Asleep
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ZzzQuil for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I sometimes suffer from insomnia. Not all the time, but I go through phases where I just toss and turn for hours before falling asleep. And if my kids wake me up in the middle of…
