{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Chickening Around #ww

You may think I’m kidding you when I mention how much of a crazy chicken lady I really am. Well, I kid you not. This evening, for reasons untold, I needed to take a photo with a chicken and a sign. Or, rather, wanted to take a photo with a chicken and a sign.  Chickens […]

Top 10 Things You Didn’t Know About iPhone Cases

I had to share this fun infographic about the top 10 things you didn’t know about iPhone cases.  Do you know the number of people who have dropped their iPhones in a toilet (13%…really?). Or, how about how many people have a personalized iPhone case? (surprisingly more men than women). Take a guess at the […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Baby Cuteness #ww

Hi there. I am little miss ball of cuteness. No really, my granny says so! Good grief, can you believe this little girl? She just tugs at the heart when she smiles! And she loves granny’s camera! Though she probably wonders why granny’s face always has that big black thingy in front of it :) […]

Planning for the future + a Retirement Bucket List #GenworthUSA

Retirement has always seemed like a distant future that my husband I shouldn’t be worried about. After all, we both feel young and have many plans for the life we’re trying to live right now. It’s funny how your perspective changes, the older you get. Now that we are approaching the age where mid-life sounds […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – growing every day #ww

Guess who is four and a half months old now? Our sweet little granddaughter, that’s who!  What a difference a week makes! Baby girl and her Mama spent Easter break at our house and she is just growing so fast! She coos and smiles at her Daddy and tries to sit up and drools a […]

I hate you elliptical. A workout whine session.

So, the elliptical machine and I are in a love hate relationship right now. I swear that after 45 minutes of awkward elliptical-ing, I have sweated buckets. Plus, it’s not like I’m taking the easiest program. No, I am not. I’ve tried Cardio, Hill (kill me), strength and interval settings from 30 minutes to 45 […]

Back to reality – plus my Workout Playlist

Everything has been going great with my new workout schedule! Except for the past week of sickness where you’ll notice an absence of working out on my part, blah. I really dislike being sick. Spending the last 4 days or so in my pjs, plus missing a few days of working out really put a […]

Wordless Wednesday – Snowy Spring #ww

The Groundhog lied. But I’m fine with it, I love the snow. We have a Lake Effect Advisory! Ginger and KiKi are not as thrilled as I am. Not at all.

Wordless Wednesday – Basketball and a GrandBaby #ww

These photos from last Sunday turned out way too dark so I just slapped  a bunch of effects on them in PicMonkey and shared them anyways! My granddaughter was too cute not to share! Our daughter’s last basketball game of the season was on Saturday. It was bittersweet because it is her last year in […]

Holding myself accountable when Weight & Anxiety hold me back

This is a post that I’ve mulled over for a while now. I like to keep the blog upbeat but sometimes, I just need to get things out. So since this is my space.. here goes! Over the past year and a half, I have become lax and lazy about my fitness. Instead of going […]

Goals: My 2013-2014 Workout Record #gettingfit #fitness

I am kicking my butt into gear and holding myself accountable by keeping track with this workout record. I’ll be keeping notes below each workout table and just using this post throughout the year as a tool to hopefully keep myself motivated. And, to remind myself that I can do it! While I am starting […]

Wordless Wednesday – Hubby’s Haircut #ww

I can’t believe that I forgot to share this with you all! Last month, hubby came home with a HAIRCUT! You may think, so what’s the big deal? Well, Chris has had hair halfway down his back for as long as I’ve known him. I don’t think he’s had short hair since he was in […]
