I wanted to write a quick update since I haven’t blogged in forever!!! Steve, Emma, and I are staying with my parents until our house is ready for us to move in. They don’t have Internet, soooooooo….my blogging is on hold until we are in our new home. I can hardly wait!! Seriously…hardly wait. It [...]

It feels so good to be back on an early morning routine! Seriously good. It really all starts the night before in getting myself to bed. I was having so much trouble making myself get to bed that I finally set a daily alarm on my cell phone for 9 p.m. to remind me to [...]

I went for a short run this evening. It felt awesome. I’d love to get back into running again. It feels like it’s been forever and it kinda has—since before Emma was born. I don’t care for the sensation of running when you’re pregnant, but maybe I’ll have to get over that when the next [...]

Between 4th of July and my birthday, I think I have consumed my fair share of party food and am excited to get back to cleaner eating. I started this morning with a two egg omelet sprinkled with a little cheese and salsa, a slice of sprouted wheat toast, and cut up strawberries and banana. [...]

Well, my birthday is now officially over until next year and I must say it was one of my favorites!! The best part was getting to share it all with one of my dearest friends, Alli, who drove over to spend the night and be there for everything. We started the day off with blueberry [...]

My friend Alli is getting here this afternoon, and I wanted to make something yummy to have ready for tomorrow’s breakfast. Here is the recipe from Cooking Light. I always use at least half whole wheat pastry flour rather than all [...]

Happy 4th of July everyone!!! I hope you had a fun friends- and family-filled 4th this year! Steve, Emma and I spent it on the Lake at Duroga Park. Hawley, Eric and their little ones Lydia and Bryce came up to join us and the Colyars, which made it all the more fun. We swam, [...]

Can I just say that I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!! My birthday is in 3 days and my amazing hubbie just ordered me my dream gift…a pump-driven Delonghi Espresso Machine!!! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh my gosh, so excited. Can’t even tell you!! I love drinking lattes, I love the process of making espresso, and I [...]

This morning was an early one. I woke up at 5:20 to meet a friend at Starbucks by 6. We had a really sweet prayer time together there and it definitely started my day off on the right foot! After that I walked over to Great Harvest to chat with a friend and buy some [...]
