Happy Thursday! I hope y'all are having a great week! We had a crazy busy weekend with a fundraiser relay race in South Carolina. I ran 6.37 miles in three different small spurts. It was fun. My sweet husband ran 20 miles. Haha! So I'm small potatoes, but it's the most I've ever run in a 24 hour period. Several people have asked me lately what I've been eating, so I thought I would share a quick blog post of some of my meals in a Taking Care ...
My Life
The Color Run, CrossFit and Taking Care of Me
Happy Monday, y'all! :) I hope y'all had a great weekend. We had company and hosted about 45 people in our home Friday evening for BBQ and S'mores. Then Saturday morning, Ernie and I ran in a local Color Run. It was so fun! Remember that post I wrote about Breaking Free from Fear and Becoming Fearless? Well, this is one of those things that I'm breaking free of - fear of failure. Until Saturday morning, I hadn't run 3.1 miles for THREE years. ...
Fall is in the AIR!
Happy Monday, y'all! Guess what? Fall is in the air in Alabama. Saturday was cool, cloudy and a little misty. I haven't been ready for Fall yet this year, but after the chilly weekend, I'm definitely getting in the mood. :) Yesterday was beautiful with very little humidity, so I took a quiet Sunday afternoon walk around the yard with my camera. Fall is definitely on it's way. :) Every step I took sounded crunchy. These leaves have been ...
How I DON’T Do It All
I hope y'all had a great holiday weekend! Ours was wonderfully busy and fun. :) We celebrated my husband's birthday on Friday and my parents 35th anniversary on Monday. You wouldn't believe the emails and messages that I receive asking how I do it all. I hate to break it to y'all...but... I don't. [pinit count="horizontal"] I am wife, mom, manager of two home businesses, daughter, sister, friend, manager, diy-er, decorator, teacher, ...
My Day in Des Moines! {BHG Style Showcase}
Good morning, friends! I am SO excited to share with you my very exciting trip to Des Moines, Iowa. It's been a long time since I traveled through Des Moines to visit some of my mom's side of the family who live in Iowa and South Dakota. This trip was SO fun because I got to attend the Better Homes and Gardens Style Showcase with a bunch of blogger friends! Seriously, it was a blast. We arrived bright and early in the morning for registration and ...
Breaking Free from Fear and Becoming Fearless
Don't you love your comfort zone? Um, don't we all? I like my comfort zone. It is nice, cozy and peaceful. I would prefer to never be taken out of my comfort zone. The thing is...comfort zones don't stretch us and make us grow. They don't make us better people. We get to just slide on by easy peasy. That sounds nice in a way, but I want to be a better person. I don't want to be ruled by my unfounded fears. I have struggled with a multitude ...
