thankful (was for memorial day)
On days like today I get overwhelmed with saying something meaningful. Often paralyzed, but that doesn’t mean that I am any less thankful. I am truly overwhelmed with what families go through after losing a family member, let alone losing a family member in the service while they are serving out country. I’m so thankful! We will never forget to remember and try not to take it all for...

29
Well, 29 is upon me. Whether or not I want it. And I think that I’m just going to embrace it with all I’ve got.
28 was beautiful. A year that I invested in me, lived out dreams and created new ones. Tried to love with all that I had, failed, and tried again. 28 may not have looked how I anticipated when I was young(er), but that’s okay. I’m happy with where I am,...

11:11
So, I have this new thing, this thing is that I look at the clock multiple times a day when it is all the same numbers. Like 11:11. It is so bizarre, but it seriously happens 3-4 times a day.
When I started to notice that this was happening a lot, a co-worker randomly brought up the fact that she sees the same series of numbers on a regular basis. She then looked up that series of numbers in...

I absolutely love Joss & Main. Have you heard of it? It is an online store, but it is like what is amazing about Home Goods but online and some great prices! Joss & Main allows you to shop all kinds of different stores (at all different price points) for awesome finds!
I have been shopping for a new runner rug for the kitchen and have found the best priced and best looking rugs on...

oops
I think I try to torture myself with dehydration. Let me explain…
Today I have had 2 cups of coffee (1 decaf, 1 not) and a pepsi. And I just filled up my water bottle to start drinking water for the day and it is 3:15pm. Ya, I might barf in bootcamp tonight.
When am I going to learn?

take a step back
Tonight as I lounge on the couch watching the second season of Army Wives (which is currently my favorite…and I have 3.5 more seasons of this great stuff), I took a step back to remember how grateful I am for my life, my love, and all that that is.
On Saturday morning I get to see my sister, my brother-in-law, my miracle mom, and my dad! I can’t wait! Sometimes I don’t...

cut it out
Today was my first day trying to cut out sugar…and it was a total failure. In fact, I’m sitting on the couch with a handful of white chocolate chips. The upside? They is definite room for improvement!

he said...she said
Today we had a little wedding celebration for a co-worker that got married a while ago (it was a bit overdue, but was the best we could do with all of the crazy schedules). So, I was put in charge of the event…a casual fun affair with food, cause that is what the groom (my co-worker) likes most.
My other co-worker suggested a Pantry Party (which I can’t help but read as panty...

wipeout
I just ran 45 steep hills with a burpie at the top of each of them and then a ton of other leg, arm, and core exercises!! I absolutely love boot camp! Kicks my butt every time!

closed for business
I’m not going to lie, I thought it was pretty cool to have an Etsy store…until I only sold 2 things in the last 8 months! So, as of today, I am no longer an Etsy seller. It is an end of a dream and the beginning of the realization that fabric blooms are not popular anymore (I actually realized this when I was starting to create the shop, but thought I would try anyway…it...

failing
I am so failing at my new “drink a glass of water ever hour challenge” today! Ugh. I have only had 4 and it is already 3pm.
Remember my 2 minute challenge…ya, that has disappeared too.
Time to reinstate. Who’s with me?
