My 5.0 miles went well today! I was a little nervous that my knee would flare up, but it feels 95% fine. I tried to take it easy and took a lot of walking breaks. I’m probably still not ready to do 5.0 miles regularly or do longer runs. After, Nicole and I ran [...]

Baby, it’s cold outside! I spent 10 minutes trying to take a photo of my own breath (with an SLR to boot). Do you know how impossibly hard that is? I hope you find a cute photo of Maggie and James snuggling up on the couch much more illustrative. :) It really is COLD outside! [...]

This morning, I decided to combine two of my favorite breakfasts. #1: The always amazing Grilled Banana Sandwich: #2: Lazy Girl’s Cinnamon Bread French Toast The result? Be still, my breakfast-lovin’ heart. No, really. I am about had a heart attack over how good this breakfast tasted – and combining the two simple [...]
