Checking In!

Hello, my loves!  Another huge thank you to Jessie for “holding down” the blog yesterday, as I was enjoying our first day in the Outer Banks!  We’re staying in Duck, and I’m being totally spoiled by all the awesome paths for runners/bikers and the amazing seafood already.  It’s only day two and I already feel … Continue reading »

Praise Post.

I’m not sure just how many of you I’m friends with on Facebook, but I really appreciate all of you who checked up on me after seeing my check-in at the Women’s Cancer Center yesterday.  I’d been referred there, after having seen abnormal cells on a pap smear (TMI?), which freaked me out a bit … Continue reading »

Give A Pint, Get A Pint + A Giveaway!

Yesterday, I ran out on my break at work to donate blood to the local blood bank… This is another one of those times that I’m thankful for the problems I had with my thyroid and all the many times I’ve had to get blood work done.  If I hadn’t gone through that, I’d never … Continue reading »

No Hurt Is Ever Wasted + A Giveaway Winner!

Church on Sunday, after a mean, morning workout & breakfast, was an awesome service. It was a celebration of the Arts and the hallways of Christian Life Assembly were lined with incredible and unique works by its members.  I wish I had snapped a few photos walking by each exhibit, but I did manage to … Continue reading »

This Thing, Called Love.

Last night we planned on having dinner with the family at my Momma’s house, as I mentioned previously, it was TACO NIGHT. I was in charge of cooking up the extra lean ground turkey, and since I’d forgotten my taco seasoning that I insisted I would bring, I had to improvise with some salt, pepper, … Continue reading »

Sick, Sicker, Sickest.

My poor husband had been sick since Memorial Day.  It’s almost inevitable that when you live with someone, you’re bound to eventually be plagued with anything contagious that they may have.  When Jarid is sick, all I want to do is coddle him, completely disregarding the fact that I’m making it much more difficult for … Continue reading »

Meet Ellie! + A Giveaway!

Let me start this review by saying, I am SUPER picky about clothing.  My husband and Mom, the two people who know me best, can attest to that.  For me, it’s all about the way it fits.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve LOVED clothing on the hanger, and tried it on only … Continue reading »
