A Fit Life: Getting Cardio Crazy

Happy Hump Day!  Does anyone else think it’s crazy that we’re already halfway through July?  Seriously, where is this summer going?  Every year it makes me sad how fast it goes and this year is no different.  I think I need to plan some fun weekend activities so that I can look back on this […]

Real Life: A Battle of Early and Late Twenties

Check, check… is this thing on?  Yikes.  It’s been more than two months since my last post.  Life has been crazy busy the past couple of months and to be quite honest, I’ve felt a lack of motivation and inspiration lately.  I recently bought the “Blog Life” e-course from the ladies of A Beautiful Mess so […]

The Travel Itch: From the “Minni” Apple to the Big Apple

Hello, friends and happy Thursday!  Right now I’m hunkered down at the Minneapolis airport, waiting to board my flight to New York!  I can’t express how absolutely excited I am to head out east for a few days.  My cousin [aka bestie] has lived in Brooklyn for the past two years going to school for […]

100 Days Until Summer – A Fitness Goal

So, if you haven’t heard the news already, there is only 100 days until the first day of summer!  I realize it seems kind of silly to be setting summer timelines when we haven’t even celebrated the arrival of spring [which is next week – yay!] but there are so many great things that come […]

Take Me Out: 10 Non-Traditional Valentine’s Date Ideas

This Valentine’s Day will be the 7th “anniversary” of mine and hubs first date.  Yep, that’s right, we had our first official date on Valentine’s Day at a little booth at Applebee’s..  But before you get all sappy on me, I must tell you that it had nothing to do with the holiday and everything […]

Real Life: Getting It All Done

Don’t be scared by the title, but today’s post is a little different than posts I’ve published lately.  This post has been on my mind lately because I just feel like there isn’t enough time in the day to get to all the items I want to accomplish. For as long as I can remember […]

Nearly to Newly Fit: Fitness Goal Updates

It’s another depressingly cold Monday her in Minneapolis.  If you read yesterday’s posts, you know that school has been called off for the kiddos again.   I still have to work though – the joys of a adulthood, I suppose.  The only thing that’s really keeping me going this winter is the thought that the hubs […]

Life Through a Lens: Investing in a New Hobby

I’ve always had a love for photography so it’s no surprise that I saved and saved to get a digital SLR camera.  My saving paid off last January when I was finally able to purchase my first DSLR camera.  I was finally graduating from a point-and-shoot to a fancy schmancy DSLR… how exciting!  I bought […]

Now We’re Cooking: Easy Chicken Wild Rice Soup

There’s nothing I crave more during the cold winter months than a bowl of warm, delicious soup… and I mean all kinds of soup.  With the ridiculously cold winter we’ve had in Minnesota so far, it should be no surprise that some kind of soup shows up on my dinner menu each week.  Lately, my […]

Blog Me: A Week of Good Reads

Another Sunday down in 2014 means another round of Blog Me: A Week of Good Reads.  This past week was crazy busy at my full-time job and it seemed as if it would never end.  Did anyone else feel that way?  I think it had something to do with the fact that it was my […]
