The 5 H's: Humor, Habits, Hugs, Hope, & Haydn

I mentioned awhile back that I wanted to do a couple new fun things with the blog - and one of those is to bring some outside perspectives (every once in awhile) on what others believe to be the essentials for a happy healthy life. Afterall, that's the goal of this blog!! I am soooooo excited to bring the next post in the series to you, from my blogger friend Corrie, a fellow Coloradan. She is one of the first bloggers I started following when I was starting out. I was immediately d ... Read more » about The 5 H's: Humor, Habits, Hugs, Hope, & Haydn

Determination + {Strawberries & Cream Pancakes}

Last night everything was screaming "NO RUN"...legs were sore, Babycakes wouldn't go to sleep, stomach hurt, and even dear hubby was whispering: "You could just skip it tonight." But my heart wanted it. I had commited to YOU on Facebook that I would run 2 miles after work, and I just wanted to do something GOOD for my body. So, I tied those purple laces and headed out the door while dear hubby play ... Read more » about Determination + {Strawberries & Cream Pancakes}

100th Post + {Prosciutto & Fig Goat Cheese Pizza}

Today we are celebrating something special - this is my 100th blog post! Thank you again for joining me in this journey! I am excited to share a fabulous pizza recipe, originally inspired by my lovely mom. Hers was covered in carmelized onions, which I'm sure would be good. But dear hubby HATES onions. Really, hate is a nice term for his overwhelming loathing of the sometimes smelly vegetable. Dear hubby and I have been married for almost 8 years, but each time we're at my parents' house I have to remind them of his dislike hate of onions.

Running, Playground Strength Training & Lunges, oh my!

I started off my long weekend right with some serious exercise! Afterall, I have some new goals to hit. And in order to hit them, I need to focus on healthy clean eating and moving MORE! Since I was by myself with Babycakes, I didn't get many pictures of ME doing the exercises, but I did get a lot of cute shots of Babycakes copycatting mommy :) Here she is trying slightly elevated pushups ---&gt ...

I feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty...{Reward Photoshoot}!

If you missed my Rewards and New Goals post from earlier this week, you should go back and read it! I talk about the importance of setting goals and share some great tips on how to do it. Part of what I discuss is why setting specific rewards (non-food related of course!!) can help keep you motivated and give you something tangible to work towards. I recently hit one of my major goals - reachin ... Read more » about I feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty...{Reward Photoshoot}!

Life, Running, + 7 pounds of Blueberries

These are my new sneaks. --> I love my purple shoes. I love my bright purple laces even more. Dear hubby and I went to REI this weekend because I had a giftcard AND a 20% off coupon- and this is what I walked out with. These running shoes are made by Brooks and are made of that super breathable mesh material. Supposedly they're the most "cushy" of the mesh shoes though, says the shoe saleslady. I took them out for an innaugural run on Sunday, and loved them! If I am going to be serious (which I am!!) about those new goals I set, new sneaks, consistent runs, and less baked goods will do me good!
