We’ve had quite the dark and stormy start to this Monday morning – lightening and thunder galore! I made a cozy, comforting breakfast to combat the wind and rain, Apple Crisp Oatmeal. In the mix: 1/3 cup old fashioned oats 2/3 (read full article)
Today’s going to be a GREAT day, and here’s why! I kicked my morning off with a run. I must have brought some of that warm Texas weather home with me, because we’re supposed to have heat indexes in the 100s this week. No way I̵ (read full article)
It’s a beautiful morning here in central Iowa, so I decided to head out into the sunsetRISE for a 4.25 mile run after my Mom walk! Plus, there’s no time like the present to break in a new pedicure. The morning air was humid, but cool, a (read full article)
Goood morning! After a particularly indulgent past couple of days – ie, cake for lunch – it feels good to get back on the bandwagon! Starting with a muggy Mom walk and a fresh Greek Yogurt & Fruit Bowl for breakfast. In the mix: S (read full article)
After we filled up Ben’s gas tank last night, we headed to The Max Culvers! Culver’s is best known for their juicy burgers served on a buttered bun – or if you ask Ben, their cheese curds – but I go for the silky, velvety smo (read full article)

Good morning! The birds are out again. I can’t tell you how heart warming it is to hear them singing away in the mornings after a long, cold winter. What can I say, I’m a sap. It’s genetic, my Dad’s the same way! Did anybo (read full article)

I slept 10 hours last night! It was amazing and left me feeling like this: aka bright eyed and bushy tailed. Also kind of feeling like a sailor in my blue & white stripes and red scarf…or is that Frenchman…either way I feel good. (read full article)
