Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone! I don’t know about you – but it is downright freezing around my house today (actually, technically it is below freezing). I have been drinking tea all afternoon and I was so thankful to have a bunch of Chicken Tortilla soup on the stove for lunch today. It wasn’t until I…… Continue reading Chicken Tortilla Soup and Chickpea Cookies
This weekend I decided I would do whatever it takes to get myself back into going to the gym, training for races and working out on a regular basis. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being lazy. I walk a lot. I take the stairs everywhere I go and on my best days I go…… Continue reading Whatever It Takes
I woke up this morning thinking about cold weather. What does cold weather meant to you? To me, cold weather means getting out some of my favorite pieces of clothing. It means North Face & Patagonia down jackets, Ugg boots, wool hats, wool sweaters, warm down comforters, and so much more. I just love fall…… Continue reading What Does Cold Weather Mean To You?
Do you know what the Curse of the World Series is when your favorite team is in the series? I will tell you. It’s sleep deprivation.

We have had a busy weekend, but I still made time to cook on Saturday night. This recipe came to me in a funny way. We were heading out to Home Depot to buy bags and bags of mulch for the front yard, and I realized that we needed something for dinner. I quickly went…… Continue reading Saturday Night: Penne, Kale & Chicken Recipe
Happy Saturday morning, everyone! I am not quite sure, but I think Saturday morning is my favorite part of the traditional weekend.

This morning mom was getting ready for our out of town guests that will be…… Continue reading Banana Pudding: Southern Hospitality
Hi Blog Readers: You might recall that I am a huge fan of bringing a healthy lunch to work. Sometimes it is just a salad with lots of greens, vegetables and occasionally some protein (grilled chicken?) and a nice slice of french bread. Other times it is leftovers from whatever I had for dinner the…… Continue reading Bringing Lunch To Work
Do you have a personal trainer? I do, when I can afford her. And I love her to death. Both as the wonderful person that she is and what she makes me do at the gym. But buying time with a personal trainer can be expensive, and recently I have been on a strict budget,…… Continue reading A Digital Personal Trainer
