After spending a good 9 months watching my postpartum body go from pretty good to pretty bad, being able to count the number of times I made it to the gym on my fingers and toes, and then spending a month in Europe drinking and eating everything I could find, I decided it was timeRead more
Hey guys! As a result of preparing for a dinner guest yesterday, and doing a good job of cleaning as the night went on, I walked in to a clean kitchen, and just happened to have a sleeping baby, and I thought…”I think I would like to blog a little!” Life has been hectic, asRead more
Boredom is really starting to catch up with me. I may regret saying that in a month or so, but right now I feel like I’m operating in the great abyss. Outside of a few part time blogging things here and there, I’ve essentially not worked since September. At first I remained very focused andRead more
I mentioned that while I was home I co-hosted a baby shower for my best friend Liz. Our friend Amanda was handling the decorations and games and Hannah (my sister) and I handled the food and venue (Hannah’s apartment). Catering is something Hannah and I have always loved to do.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it on here before or not, but Husband is a running machine. He recently ran his 1.5 mile physical fitness test in 8:42, and just a few years ago he ran a half marathon in 1:36. In my eyes he is a running god! His Colonel talked him intoRead more
Anyone who knows me knows I am a Food Network and Cooking Channel addict. Like, if I could only have one cable channel (or two I guess) it would be those. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard the Food Network show, The Great Food Truck Race, was coming to Rapid. And thatRead more
It wasn’t ideal conditions, and we didn’t even get to our camping spot till after 5:00 in the afternoon, but I was determined to put the tons of new camping gear we had purchased between this year and last to use. And it was my birthday weekend so Husband complied. We went back to theRead more
