As of yesterday, it has been 8 weeks since I began focusing on my fitness. Looking back, I remember running with my cousin Emma on my first ever 3 minute run. I was panting, exhausted, wanted to stop, with stitches in my side and my heart beat like it was going to explode. LastRead more
You know, I wonder how many times in a Sweet Sharing Monday intro I have said the words “I can’t believe its already…” I know I said it in September, and I was just about to write it now that we’re headed into October. I don’t remember feeling this way last year. Perhaps its becauseRead more
I’m a huge fan of home made costumes. I can’t remember wearing a single store bought costume growing up, and that’s a tradition I’d like to keep. In reality, I’ve found that the quality, the originality, and the FUN of a home made is often better than a store bought option. Now, before you getRead more
I am very tech savvy. I work on computers, I’m a web designer, my husband is in IT. Often in life I find myself looking for techie shortcuts to improve my situation. Always forgetting the shopping list? Get a list app. Tired of moving files from one computer to another? Get Google Drive. SoRead more
Have you ever been so engrossed in a project that when its over you feel like you’ve walked out of the shadow and into the sun? That’s where I am at right now. The past 2 weeks have been super crazy for me, as I was responsible for not only the invitations, programs, and bannersRead more
I’ve decided to restart an old category called Who I Want to be Wednesday. These posts will be generally about me, sometimes related to heath, well being, and personal stuff. Alright, I admit it. I used to lie in school to get out of running the mile. (Sorry Mrs. Bowers.) My dad was aRead more
Its starting to feel like the seasons are changing! Today has a high of 60 here, and there are already leaves falling. I’ve been begging hubby to make some Roasted Acorn squash, and I even bought the ingredients for Chai ice cream. I’m craving fall like its going out of style. In prep for theRead more
A while back I posted my DIY Natural Face Moisturizer, because I use it and I love it. That recipe focuses on being light and non-greasy, and I find it works perfect for my naturally oily skin type. However, the recipe might not be the perfect solution for someone with dry, chapping skin, or thoseRead more
Well, week on of September is down. I’m starting to get into the swing of things. It has been pretty chilly in the mornings here, and I’m finding myself craving chai tea and pumpkins. But, there is still so much to do before the holiday season starts! I hope you all have had a wonderfulRead more
I wonder some times, if I’ll ever run out of crafty ideas supplied by my mom. When I think of all the cool stuff she came up with before the age of the internet, I can’t help but me amazed!! For example, when I was in 4th grade, Mom helped with our class Halloween partyRead more
September. Yeah. Say it with me. It is now SEPTEMBER. Can you believe that!? On one hand, I’m terrified. The Holiday season is screaming at me in a pace I can’t remember ever having dealt with before. I’ve got so much to do, so many projects to finish up, so many homeowner’s tasks to completeRead more
Happy Labor Day everyone! This is one of my favorite US Holidays. Its a legitimate, no-questions-asked excuse to hang out and grill. So far this year I’ve gone camping 3 times, once for an extended stay in the Upper Peninsula. I think because I spend my whole work day and most of my free timeRead more
