This week is the beginning of the SITS Girl’s building a tribe. I signed up to do this blog building exercise for two reason. First, it is only a week which will keep my attention. When I sign up for month long blogging events, I tend to lose interest or clump things together on a… Continue reading Spreading the Word
About ten days ago, Amy from Running is Cheaper than Therapy answered the Bloggers’ Challenge and asked me to participate. I was all set to sit down right then and do it but reading got in the way. I have been on a reading binge this new year but here it is. The rules: Acknowledge… Continue reading Bloggers’ Challenge
The new year has started off great as far as training is going. I am preparing for the inaugural running of the Asheville Half Marathon at Biltmore Estates in March and, after a good look at elevations, I think this half could end up being a PR for me.

I have realized that I need to get back to menu planning. Without it, I tend to eat poorly. Actually, I eat just fine but I make poor decisions about what I am going to eat. One of the largest issues with cooking meals is that my two youngest, 19 & 23 so you do… Continue reading Menu Planning
I received Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum from Influenster. I am not required to blog about the product but liked it so much I have chosen to do so.
