Just a quick post tonight… I’m gearing up for the PanCAN Purple Stride 5K tomorrow! I’m walking it, but I’m still excited! So, the winner of the Camelbak Groove bottle goes to comment #37… Congratulations Alison! I’ll be sending you an email soon to get your mailing address, and Camelbak will be getting you your [...]
Instead of a Wordless Wednesday this week, we’re going with a different W that I don’t talk about on here a lot. Water. I don’t know about you, but I drink a TON of water. I mean, about 100 oz or more per day. It started as a habit when I first started Weight Watchers [...]
**Giveaway winner announced at the end of this post!** Let’s add “taking it slow” to the list of things I’ve learned as of late. It’s beyond freezing outside, making the roads not exactly easy to drive on. Which made me take the slightly slower, more safe (read: wider road, more salt) route home. Which, in [...]
Today was full of pleasant surprises. The coffee shop where I get my morning coffee and sometimes breakfast changed their wraps on their breakfast wraps from a tomato-basil one to a whole wheat one. It was amazing. I walked into school and my friend Wendy handed me a cupcake, because it was “cupcake day”. I [...]

After the balls post yesterday, I felt it only right to call today’s post something equally inappropriate… There’s something more exciting tomorrow, but for today, the winners of the last two giveaways: For the Kikkoman giveaway, the winner is: Congratulations Biz! And for the CSN $75 shopping gift certificate: Congratulations Amanda!! I’ll keep my promise [...]
After an overwhelming “hell yes!” reaction when I asked if you, my readers, wanted to see a “favorite things” post, I figured, what the heck, I’ll go for it. I’m not going to give away a car, cuckoo clock, or twin bed set, but I will be giving away a $75 CSN Stores gift certificate [...]
I had every intent of holding this giveaway as a “last summer fling” kind of post with a recipe for this glorious-looking grilled pizza: It was a Fitnessista-inspired grilled pizza with goat cheese, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and a whole wheat crust all cooked on the grill. Little did we know though, that rushing to put [...]
Tomorrow morning is a monumental morning. It marks the first day of my 8th year of teaching Spanish! I can’t believe it, honestly. It seems like just yesterday I was getting my student teaching assignment. It never ceases to amaze me every year, though, the abundance of “new” that comes with the new year. New [...]
Every summer, my campers are nicknamed the “duckies” because they follow me around like a mama duck. At any given time, my girls can be found walking behind me in a line. If I turn, they turn. Sometimes, they take their nickname seriously and quack while walking to the bus! When I found these mini [...]
Have you all missed me?? I know I’ve missed you all… but it’s been a SUPER busy week full of celebrations that went way past my bedtime most nights. Therefore, blogging has taken a back seat. But I’m back today, and make sure you’re in a comfortable seat, you have about 3 days worth of [...]
