The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Grain Brain. Technically I have another week on the challenge, but since Thanksgiving happens next week, things get crazy. I wanted to post before the crazy. I also wanted to post because I got on the scale yesterday. There’s good news and bad: First the [Read More]
#OneSmallChange Link Up Week 7
Time marches on! Have we really been at this change thing for 6 weeks already? Congrats to those of you who’ve been hanging with me and welcome to those who are just joining in! There’s no better time to make small changes. Here’s how the challenge has gone for me so far: Keep kitchen counters [Read More]
Windy Weekend Rewind
I picked the perfect weekend to lay off the racing because our weather left much to be desired. The wind was wicked all weekend, culminating in a string of tornadoes on the ground yesterday. While we were lucky enough to only be without power for awhile, others fared far worse. Thoughts and prayers to all [Read More]
Runfessions
1. I feel like I should have my running blogger club card revoked because I don’t have a Starbucks red cup pic to share with you or splash on Instagram. I’ll go on the assumption you’ve all seen them. Now I love me some holiday cheer and gosh the sound of those holiday bevvies at [Read More]

Introvert’s Guide to Party Conversation
We attended two parties last weekend, have two more this weekend and it goes on from there. ‘Tis the season. Let’s just say I was not born a sparkling party conversationalist (as if I am now, haha!). I’d pretty much rather have my eyes poked out with jagged twigs than attend a party where I [Read More]
#OneSmallChange Link Up Week 6
Can you believe we’re starting week 6 already? Neither can I! Time is flying, its SNOWING here in Chicago and the holidays are racing toward us! I know its a stressful time of year, but it’s SO important to, as Carla says, put on your oxygen mask first, before you take care of everybody and [Read More]
Chevy Chase 5k Race Report
I raced the Chevy Chase 5k yesterday. It was done in a ‘chase’ format, which was completely foreign to me: We lined up based on a projected finish time submitted at registration and started ONE BY ONE, at 5 or 10 second intervals, can’t remember which and wasn’t paying attention. Weird, yes? We lined up [Read More]
Gluten-Free Foodie Friday
With Thanksgiving coming up and the Grain Brain Challenge going strong, I’ve been seeking out recipes that fit both parameters. Although I won’t officially be on the Grain Brain Challenge when Thanksgiving rolls around, I do plan to stay gluten and soy free. It sure wouldn’t hurt to serve something gluten-free and festive for Thanksgiving. [Read More]
Life After Microwave
It’s been 6 months since our microwave met an early death. To be honest it had way more features on it than I’d ever even think to use. Mostly it rewarmed leftovers and tea and quickly baked an occasional potato. It was originally purchased by the Caveman 5 years ago, on an impulse no less. [Read More]
