Today is International Podcast Day! What does that mean? It means everyone and their mama is promoting their podcast in the hopes to get new subscribers! While I haven’t officially started my podcast yet (it’s under construction), I do love to listen to podcasts! I especially love them for when I’m driving, but I’ll sometimes listen…
Howdy, lovely reader! Now that I have a week under my belt at the new/old job, and yesterday was my last day at my part-time job (Ann Taylor), I feel like I can finally unwind a little bit and give my blog (and my readers) a little more love. Woohoo! That little bit of extra…
Last week was busy! I did a lot of activities, and while I wish I could say that I feel so refreshed because of it, that would just be a lie. By Sunday morning, I was so rundown that I had to cancel my morning running plans because I felt so terrible I couldn’t even…
When I first started dating my boyfriend, I discovered something unusual about him. Dude cannot go to bed before eating at least one bowl of cereal! He is obsessed! When we went on vacation with my family last week, he actually located a grocery store nearby, and bought himself some milk and cereal. Now that’s…
Happy Hump Day! Is is still considered Hump Day, since most people in the States had Monday off…? I hope you’re having a wonderful first week of September! I know I am! I spent the first day of September (Labor Day) getting my sweat on! Sweatember, I think they call it? My brother and I…

My February started out so strong, yet ended so… blah. I feel mentally and physically exhausted, writing this, but I think a little evening goal-setting will help me feel a little better! How Did I Do in February? In a nutshell: Meh. To recap, my February 2021 goals were: Go on 4 hikes: I went…
I had been talking about starting my own podcast for a while, and I finally did it! It took several friends and colleagues asking, “what do you have to lose?” to inspire me to get my act together and go for it. They were right; the worst that could happen would be that my podcast…

My friend Shanique hosted the #BasicBowlNutrition Challenge that ended yesterday, and it was truly transformative! I loved putting my bowls together, and it was amazing how quick and easy they were to build. It really took a lot of the guesswork out of cooking dinner after late nights of volleyball, spin class, and work. The…
Hello friends! I haven’t posted much lately, have I? Well, I’m sorry about that! I’m back, so now we can get back to having fun! Over the course of the last week, I have been crazy busy, working hard during the day, and cranking out new ideas for the blog in the evening (after all…
A few weeks ago, I ran my first 4-mile race, which is also the first race I’ve run in about two years. The race was called The Cougar Dash (not that kind of cougar), and I was invited to race by my teammate Nikki. Her daughter attends Seneca Lake Elementary School, and the school’s PTA…
