I have written this post a million times in my head, but now that it’s time to put my words to the screen, I’m at a loss of what to say. I guess I will start at the beginning. When I started my first blog nearly five years ago – See Bride Run, remember [...]

I saw this on Tina’s blog, who saw in on Julie’s blog. It was so fun to read their responses that I thought I’d do Eleven Questions, too. However, I was confused because their Eleven Question surveys only had ten questions, so I guess the 11th question is for YOU to answer one of the [...]
Do you exercise when you’re sore? Muscle soreness that occurs a day or two after working out is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness and is caused by small tears inside the muscles. While this is normal, if you are really sore, it’s a good idea to take some time off to allow your muscles [...]
Henry and I have a new game to play! It’s called “Drink all the coffee that you can and watch your mind turn on.†Haha. Just kidding… I read about this concept somewhere on the Interwebs – basically, you take an empty, clean coffee container (a formula can would work, too) and cut a wide [...]
Well, it’s just one of those days. I spent the morning at AT&T because I dropped my iPhone yesterday during a training run – destroying the screen. Then, I was informed that my cell insurance plan was officially dropping me because I’ve filed “too many claims.†Whoops. Afterwards, I drove to the supermarket to pick [...]
We are having a very relaxing mommy-Henry day. Nothing else to do. No conference calls to attend, no freelance deadlines to juggle. Just me and my boy. I like it! Here’s my favorite way to liven up a grilled cheese sammie – an apple! Mmmm. Sharp cheddar cheese + slices of Golden Delicious. Perfecto. [...]
Did I get you? It’s getting harder and harder to trick my readers, but I know I got at least a few of you! I guess I’m getting a reputation as a prankster. My favorite HTP April Fools posts include… Wealthy Tipping Point – I won the lottery (and changed my blog name, of [...]
Met our newest furbaby, sweet Emma. Oh yes. You know how I always joke that my house is a zoo? It certainly felt like a zoo between the Husband and myself, brother-in-law Nick, baby Henry, the pups James Bond and Maggie Thatcher, and our other recent addition, Pippa Middleon the cat. But now it’s a [...]
Hah. Thought I’d grab your attention with that blog title! Let me explain. Donkey Balls – AKA Ladder Golf – is a very fun game. There are two golf balls, connected by a string, and you throw it at a three-run ladder. The balls have the wrap around the rung to count, and each rung [...]
Having friends in town is fun. Don’t ever leave! Last night, we snagged a baby sitter (my mother-in-law) and headed out to 5 Church was Jen and Joe. My brother-in-law, who works Uptown, ended up meeting up with us later. 5 Church is this very chic lounge / restaurant / bar in the center [...]
Someone REALLY likes sunflower butter! Henry likes it, too. In all seriousness, if I had to rank my favorite nut butters, it would go like this: I don’t think Nutella REALLY counts because the first ingredient is sugar. To be a nut butter, your first ingredient must be a nut! But Nutella is pretty [...]
We’ve had so much fun hosting so many guests over the past week! First, my middle and high school buddy Lisette, and her husband came to visit. And now, the Husband’s best friend Joe and his fiancée are here. Henry gave me a serious run for my money last night – he’s so good for [...]
I’ve written a few times about how hard it is to make it to spin class. And I don’t really enjoy riding in the immediate area surrounding my house (way too much traffic, not enough bike lanes). A few people reminded me about my Bell Motivator, which was gathering dust in my garage. See? This [...]
