My name’s Kristin and I’m an Iowa Girl! I eat as well as one can with a massive sweet tooth, run as often as I can despite the finnicky Midwestern weather, and am more often than not, thinking about the insanely cool places I want to travel to!
Good morning! Holy. Cow. It was 62 degrees when my Mom and I left for our morning walk! Those two crazy women walking around with their arms stuffed into their t-shirts so only their hands were visible? Yeah, that was us. It was ch-ch-ch-chilly! Ch (read full article)

Mornin’! My temperature gauge…I guess what you would call a thermometer…is reading 65 right now! My morning Mom walk was dreamily reminiscent of a cool, crisp Fall morning and I was actually cold in my Barney Butter t-shirt (love t (read full article)

Breakfast was out-of-control amazing today – Banana Split Oatmeal!! Remember when I told you I had 10 jars of almond/peanut/nut butter in my house at this very moment? Well, four of them are some nut butters that MaraNatha sent me to try! I (read full article)
It’s a fact that I turn into a pumpkin around 7pm on weeknights. Sure, I’ll go for the occasional late night walk or after dinner bike ride, but I’m more likely to be in my PJs than a party dress on Monday-Thursday evenings. Last ni (read full article)
Good morning! I’m thrilled to say, TGIF – finally! Right? AND, Ben just officially declared it the start of my weekend (my birthday is on Monday). Wheeee!! Well, last night’s festivities couldn’t have taken place on a more p (read full article)
1. Early morning runs. Especially when it’s a perfectly cool & crisp 60 degrees, like it was this morning! After my Mom and I parted ways, I zipped off on a blissful 3 miler. No yapping dogs in sight. 2. Edible bowls, like the one cont (read full article)
Oooo second day soreness from my tennis escapades has set in with a fierceness! I felt like a little old lady peeling myself out of bed this morning – ankles creaking, hips tight and, omg, my swinging arm!! Ok, it’s definitely not as bad (read full article)
Well, the return of morning Mom walks was short lived…we were foiled by rain today! I’m hearing Thursday is supposed to be dry. Which might be the first dry day in…weeks?? Sheesh! Making the best of the dreary view out my window, I (read full article)
Isn’t it fun to see what the people in front of you in line at the grocery store are buying? The guy in front of me today was going home to make breakfast fit for a KING. He had the works – OJ, hashbrowns, breakfast sausage, biscuits, egg (read full article)
Good morning – happy Monday! I’m certain that Iowa will no longer be considered a land locked state after this week is over. The rain will not stop! My Mom and I had to navigate around the lakes and rivers that have consumed the sidewal (read full article)
Breakfast was outstanding this morning! Cheese in a ‘loupe! Doesn’t quite have the ring of oats in a ‘loupe, does it? We’re talking creamy cottage cheese, stuffed inside a seeded cantaloupe half, then filled the rest of (read full article)
Ahhh, I woke up to the sound of the rain this morning. A gentle thunderstorm, actually! It started coming down here around 7pm last night and hasn’t really stopped since! Morning Mom walk was canceled, but the extra sleep to the soothing rai (read full article)
WOWZERS – thank you guys so much for all your book recommendations! I have a nice little summer reading list to look forward to now. I was actually up and at ‘em pretty early this morning, as I’m heading up to St. Paul, Minnesota (read full article)
Mornin’! I woke up feeling like the Pillsbury Dough Boy Girl! I guess the advantage of making chipotle burrito bowls at home, is that YOU control the salt content. Lots of water for this girl today! In other news, breakfast was absolutely lu (read full article)
At some point this summer, get a bike. It can be a new bike, an old bike, a borrowed bike – you get the idea. Just get a hold of a bike. Then, find a hill. The steepest, most treacherous hill you can find. The kind of hill you would never in y (read full article)
Operation dessert makeover was a success last night! Around 7:45, just as I was about to settle in to watch The Bachelorette (this season looks juicy!!), I got my nightly craving. Instead of reaching for Ben & Jerry’s, though, I reached f (read full article)
We had ourselves a good ol’ (indoor) birthday BBQ last night! It’s true – sadly, the rain did not hold off and it poured for most of the day yesterday. But, ever the improviser, my Mom still made the grilled burgers my Dad requeste (read full article)
Mornin’! Wow – I stepped outside the door for my morning Mom walk at 5:30am and swore that was 10:30am! It has gotten to be SO light out in the mornings. I just love being able to see all the pretty, blooming lilac bushes and, ohhh, my (read full article)
