Happy New Year everyone!! Here we are on January 2nd, and it’s time to start making some goals for 2014! I was going to post this yesterday, but opted to go spend the afternoon/evening with this guy (and his parent!) before he left town. I’m sure you understand 😉 I’ve been trying to decide […]
2013 {Mostly} In Pictures & {Mostly} About Running
2013 was the year of running. I consciously made an effort to run more this year because I knew my body needed the cross-training (my regular cardio = Zumba which = mostly lateral movement), and the only way I can make sure I run? Sign up for lot and lot o’ races. Race #1 […]

My 2013 Race Season is OVER!
Yup, as of about 9:45am Sunday morning my race season is over! Sunday was actually the first time I’ve run since my half so it wasn’t my speediest but I covered the 7km in 44:19 which I was still happy with! I’ve run more races this year than any other year in the past, and aside […]
Cultured Foods for Life: A Review

How To Make The BEST Microwave Popcorn
If you’re like me you like popcorn but don’t have room to keep a popcorn popper in your kitchen. So, you probably buy microwave popcorn at the store so you can pop a bag whenever you want, right? Well let’s forget about all the crap that is in microwave popcorn (in fact I can’t eat it […]
