Part of the Family…
Good morning, friends! I hope (for my American readers) that you had a great holiday yesterday. Mine was bittersweet… I write with a heavy heart today because shortly after posting yesterday morning, I received a very teary phone call from my mom, telling me that my childhood dog, Buck, had died. Of course I immediately [...]
30 Minute Boot Camp Workout
Hi, friends! I couldn’t wait to get out of work yesterday, because as soon as I did, I picked up this pretty lil’ thing at the train station! My long lost love, Destiny! Destiny is staying with us for the night while she’s in town from Chicago, and I am always SO happy to have [...]
Cool Cucumber-Berry Summer Salad
Morning, all Have a good weekend? I had so much fun I didn’t have time to blog! Well, I suppose half of it was work, but….work hard, play hard, right? As far as playing went, Friday night I went out with a group of girlfriends (as did the rest of the town of Normal) and [...]

My Favorite Things
Gooood morning! How are we all doing today? Yesterday after getting off of work, I headed straight to the salon to get my ends trimmed off: No big changes, just a trim. I’m actually trying to grow out my natural color, which is more of a golden/strawberry blonde. Right now I kind of have the [...]
WIAW–Dreams of Breakfast
Good morning! Things are starting off here bright and early. I actually made it to the 5:30 spin class! Never mind the fact that I felt like a zombie for the first three songs, because I feel great now! Ask me again around 4:00 this afternoon, though Since I enjoyed participating in What I Ate [...]
