Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

My parents have been married for 45 years today!  They’ve had 2 houses, 6 daughters, 4 son-in-laws, 7 grandchildren, lots of dogs and cats, and enough love to make it through the good times and bad! The wedding party. I love how simple wedding were 

Happy Birthday Summer!

Today is my sister Summer’s 35th birthday!  She lives in Vegas, so we don’t get to see her nearly as often as we want! Isn’t she lovely?

Workouts: July 2-6

With the 4th of July falling mid-week  and skipping lunch on Friday when my parents come in town, I thought this would be a busted workout week.  As it turned out, I actually managed 6 workouts in two days, though they weren’t the highest quality 

Patriotic Wreath

Now that we have a house that people actually see, I find myself wanting to give it home-y touches that didn’t seem worth my time at the apartment.  I never bothered with wreaths when we lived in the apartment because we had a private stairwell that

June Foodie Penpal Reveal

This is the first month that I’ve participated in Foodie Penpal and I’m so glad that I joined!  Lindsay from The Lean Green Bean created this program last September to link foodies from around the world.  On the 5th of the month, each participant is 

Workouts: June 18 – 22

I stuck to a lot of yoga again this week, even though I struggle with counting it as a workout. I know that is insane because the yoga that I’m taking is actually hard and I sweat like crazy.  I think because I enjoy it
