My Raggedy Man. He always looks more brown in pictures than he does in real life. I did not care one way or the other for animals before him. They were fine, they were cute, but I wasn’t concerned one way or the other. I loved babies, and I guess was always too anxious for…

Day 5 – Mike lost his head, and Michelle and Katie are very blurry… I may not have the hang of my new portrait mode just yet… These 3 literally dragged me out of bed to walk this morning (nope, believe me, I understand the difference between literally and figuratively. Literally is the right word).…

Day 6 – a 30 minute, very wet before work walk, then a 30 minute session on the elliptical and 10 mins on the rower in the gym at work, as well as the prepared Bipambap for lunch, it has been a pretty good day! Luckily, following my day of getting drenched, I was able…

What is your morning routine? I try to be a morning person, but I struggle with this because I read past my bed time way too often. This morning my routine involved rolling over, resetting my alarm for almost an hour later, going back to sleep, and spraying my hair with dry shampoo, grabbing my…

“The best paaaaart of working out…” This has been playing in the Folgers’ jingle tune all day. On a cold day, having the opportunity to take a hot shower in the middle of the day was literally what got me into the gym at lunch today! Day 8 – 30 mins on the treadmill at…

The last step in my husband’s cancer treatment has been bumped up to this week. So this weekend has become Get-Things-Done time, as well as make my kids feel as secure as possible before their daddy goes in for another surgery. This guy is getting his haircut, we are picking up surgery prep and hospital…

2020 is going to be a very good year and to kick it off we gathered together for white linen dinner at a restaurant that we would all enjoy that didn’t put the kids to sleep and had enough food for everyone – our local A&W. We celebrated – 3 human and 1 puppy January…
