I wanted to take a picture of Miss L in her new coat… but she wasn’t having any of it this morning. So I flipped the phone’s camera around to “FaceTime” style and suddenly she was excited. I started videotaping it, but she was a little confused as to why it was just her [...]
UPDATE 11/30 at 1:00PM PST: We need to decide on a name! I’ve mused on this topic with some of the participants in the spreadsheet… and narrowed it down to the following: #reflect11 or #WEverb11.
Vote for your choice below… and voting will close at 8PM PST!

I just got the [...]
Before Turkey day arrived last week, I went to the market with the goal of prepping really easy meals for Monday and Tuesday. Meals with ingredients that would be exhausted in one sitting and would require very little prep.
As I passed our seafood counter, I instantly had a craving for wine/garlic [...]
I’m very thankful for the rest and relaxation that this long weekend afforded, along with time with family to just enjoy the minutes of each day. It’s nice to have time to reflect on all of those lovely little things that matter the most.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving [...]
This past weekend, Miss L and I took a drive into the mountains with Mom and Dad L to visit my Grandma on a pre-Thanksgiving Day trip.
Despite all of our busy lives and crazy directions that pull us different ways, it’s nice to have a reminder of how wonderful it [...]
Hello Week 3 of training! Nice to see you, now that I’m a bit more prepared to handle the early morning wake-up calls (thank you to everyone with the smart clothing advice re: gloves, headband, etc,) and have progress under my belt!
Here’s how the runs went down during Weeks 1 & 2:

As a working family, our weekends are filled with not-so-super-fun errands. You know… Costco trips, visits to Lowe’s/Home Depot, and random trips around town to take care of all the other things you can’t do Monday-Friday. They’re not the fun 15-minute trips to Target… they’re the intense errands that take up time and require kids [...]
Miss L has her first “school Thanksgiving” today at lunch. There was a sign-up on the door to bring in certain elements of a normal Turkey Day meal… like turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, etc. Being the sweets lover that I am, I signed up to bring pumpkin pie and whipped cream.
[...]
Yesterday, as I walked back to my office from lunch and passed by The Gap as I normally do… I furrowed my brow as I saw the latest promotion sign.
$25 SWEATERS
$10 SHIRTS
I didn’t walk in the store. I didn’t want to tempt myself with clothes that are too short… [...]
Is your city/town home to a storefront selling designer donuts? If it does… you are oh so lucky to indulge in the goodness of mixing really decadent things into donut batter. If it doesn’t have one yet, but it has a cupcake shop… you might be in for a treat in a [...]
Someone found our costume parts and tried to be a Tweedle last night all on her own. (excuse the blur… We were giggling and grabbing our camera for the impromptu moment)
Remember how I crazily signed up to run a 1/2 Marathon a few months ago? Well, that event is coming up shortly… and to be precise… it’s 12 weeks away. So that means that my meandering training needs to transition into REAL training. And I can’t sleep in anymore even though the temptation of [...]
