Jacob worked a lot this weekend so it was nice to have time to spend with Hannah because she was off all weekend.  It’s funny because going into the weekend we were both like “lets get a pedicure!”  But once we got up and started doing stuff on Saturday, we completely forgot.  Of course, we had to go thrifting.  Duh. I did not end up...

There seems to be some sort of construction on at least one road on the way to my office.  Earlier this week it took me 20 minutes to get through one intersection and it drove me crazy.  The guy directing traffic had no idea what he was doing – he was directing traffic regardless of the light signals, and when it came time for our...

I had a taste for oatmeal yesterday and saw this recipe on Pinterest for a cinnamon roll oatmeal and I was sold.  The only thing I did differently was reduce the amount of powdered sugar to a teaspoon and I added sautéed apples.  My picture looked like crap, so I borrowed the picture from the blog.  It was really really good.  But I can only...

I actually got up a bit early to squeeze a walk in before work yesterday, it’s been so long since I’ve done that.  The weather was overcast, but around 57 degrees – perfect!  And it was so calm – see how still the channel to the river is? I may have also jammed to Pitbull on the way to work – something about that song...

I finally tried my PBFit that I got from Sam’s Club a few weeks ago.  I tend to like my peanut butter on the smoother side, so I did 2 tablespoons of the powder with 2 tablespoons of water.  I smeared them on top of sliced bananas, and topped with my pumpkin granola and had an egg white “omelet” on the side with some of...

I had such a great weekend.  It started by having pizza and beers with my former co-worker – I am the QUEEN of not staying in touch with people I’ve worked with in the past, but I am happy to have a few in my life for the long haul. While my friends husband and their oldest daughter had a Daddy/Daughter dance, I hung out...

Not just when I got up, but I drove to work, made my breakfast, posted it on Instagram later in the morning.  It wasn’t until Cindy commented on my Instagram post that she told me it was Thursday!  I cooked up some egg whites and wrapped them in ham slices with baby spinach and cheese.  And I had the best sauteed apple on the side...

It’s hard for me to wrap my brain around it being October already.  While the temps have already made me feel we are in fall, it seems like the holiday season is almost upon us.  Before I know it Halloween will have come and gone and I’ll be planning Thanksgiving already!  I know a lot of you hate to let summer weather go, but this...

I forgot to tell you guys what was under the trap door!   Curiosity got the best of Hannah and she got a screw bar to pull the board up.  She got about half way through before freaking herself out and I had to take over.  It didn’t take much to pull it up, and when I popped open the trap door there was . ....

The summer before my twin sister and I started our freshman year of high school of high school, there was a list of fall sports that you could try out for.  My grandma on my Dad’s side was living with us at the time.  She got the list and decided that I should try out for the swim team.  I told her I couldn’t swim. ...
