Why hello! How was your weekend? I’ve had a laid back, chillaxin’ Memorial Day Weekend. Hanging out, enjoying the sunshine, baking, running, and shopping (flowers at Home Depot and food a...
I got to watch The Ellen Show yesterday. I haven’t watched it all year due to my work schedule. There I was standing in front of the TV with the remote in my hand UNSURE of which channel her sh...
Allow me to totally dork out for a minute here. Remember the guy I met a few months ago who reminded me of Lance Armstrong? You know, the seasoned marathoner/Ironman who I chatted with about running ...
Back again…already! I know, 3 days in a row of posting after saying the blog will take a back seat. I woke up early and couldn’t fall back asleep, so here I am with a little fitness talk ...
I had a wonderful dream last night. I dreamt I was out for sushi. Then right before I was going to take my first highly-anticipated bite, I woke up. Talk about a buzz dream kill. I haven’t eate...
Remember me? Yeah, it’s been a few days. I’m back with an update. This past weekend, I attended a NASM Personal Training Workshop. For the past few months, I’ve been studying to bec...
A short ‘n’ cheesy Friday hello. As I was taking a photo of the pizzas, kiddo #1 instructed the kitties to, “SAY CHEEEEESE!!” I improvised with what was in the fridge/freezer&...
This past weekend, I was invited by Emily and Jackie of Chobani to attend an inaugural dinner at The Federalist in DC with some local bloggers. The Head Chef, Harper McClure, handcrafted dishes speci...
‘Twas a Mmmmmmother’s Day spent with the fam, filled with the most scrumptious eats! Lo the Bro came over and we all hit up the tennis courts. I can’t remember the last time all of ...
Happy Mother’s Day to my sweet Mama! Dear Mom, You are my rock. How did I get so lucky to have a mom like you? Thank you from the bottom of my heart… …for being my biggest cheerleader. …for alw...
Happy it’s-so-dang-gorgeous-ou tside-today-I’m-gonna-zo om-through-this Saturday! I was originally going to title this post Snapshots and then I realized 83% of the photos were of snacks/fo...
Who wants to go to LA? I do I do! I was recently informed by my ad network, Glam Media, about the Dole California Cook-Off being judged by Celebrity Chef Ben Ford. To enter all you have to do is come...
On the way to picking up kiddo #1 from morning school, I saw a sign that said It’s a new day, make it a great one. My day could’ve very well gone either way, but I decided at that very mo...
Move over Peter. It’s Mama LLE’s Kitchen now! All of a sudden this lady has been so inspired to make everything from scratch. I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but my belly ...
It’s been a cookie-fied week over here. The kiddos may be cookie monsters, but I hold the crown as the Cookie Monster Queen. It’s been my go-to dessert snack as of late. Let’s keep ...
Thank you for your comments on yesterday’s post. It was yet another reminder of why I enjoy blogging. It was also a reminder that this is my space to write about whatever I want to share. The b...
You all know I like to keep this blog a fun and relaxed place. Light and not too deep. That’s my blogging style. I wanna lift you up and make you chuckle. You know, keep things happy. However, ...
Hey y’all. So I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday. Ahhh I’ve got the whole day to myself. Absolutely nothing on the agenda. Mmmm never mind the fact that the weekend was oh I ...
Poof! Just like that…the weekend’s over. Too fast. Actually, what’s really quite poofy is the month of April is over (!!). Wasn’t it just the 1st? I mean, it’s crazy to ...
Remember my trip to LA last month for the video shoot? Well, the video is now ready for your viewing pleasure! I actually received the video a couple weeks ago and waited until the very last minute t...
Tuesday’s Run — 12 miles in 1 hr 45 min (avg pace: 8:46 min/mi) Man, that felt good. Really really good. It had been a couple weeks since I had a nice, long run. The kind where you feel l...
With all the talk about facial towelettes and lotion, I figured It’d be a good time to answer a FAQ on how I care for my skin. I am an expert at taking shortcuts when it comes to personal hygie...
I sweat my a$$ off running on Saturday and then on Sunday I was bundled up in sweats and even had to dig out my fuzzy slippers. Brrrrrrrrrr! Mother Nature is just letting us know who’s boss. Si...
Here’s an analogy for you on this rainy Earth Day. On the days I run, my appetite is like Hurricane Irene. Remember her? I expect my hunger to be fierce, strong and out of control, but much to ...
Holy hotcakes! I ran 7 hot-as-hell miles today. There’s nothing like 80% rain/thunderstorms in the afternoon forecast to get you out the door. After a relatively cool past couple of weeks, I de...
Boy oh boy it was a busy workweek for me. Thanks for your patience. It’s Friday and I’ve got a giveaway for you. But not without some random musings first! 1. Working extra long hours mea...
Hello there. It’s been a quiet week here on the ol’ blog. It’s not that I don’t have anything to talk about (I actually have a long list of posts on my plate!). Rather, I̵...
The weekend through the lens of my iPhone camera. I was gonna Instagram them (is Instagram a verb yet? A $1 billion verb, heh), but I opted to upload them all at once onto my laptop instead. The came...
Conversation with neighbors (in my head)… On Saturday, I ran a swift 6 miles around the ‘hood. Halfway through my run, I noticed a dad running alongside his daughter on her bike. After wh...
Since cutting back on gluten, I’ve tried a fair amount of gluten-free products. Some GF foods taste horrible. Some taste delicious (better than their non-GF equivalent). I wanna share my favori...
