Virginia is hot and stupid humid in the summer. This is not breaking news. But this year, Virginia has been kind enough to throw in some low humidity days and some cooler weeks. For example, last year’s end of school picnics were all cut short because of 100* weather and air quality advisories. This year,…

Getting back on track + April Foodie Penpal Reveal
Last week, I committed myself fully to the Nike race. I handed my children to my parents, I put my “pays the bills” job on hold, and I didn’t even pretend that I was going to do any running. I knew that I would have very little left in me after spending all of 3…
TTT: Running!, Randomness, & Foodie Penpal Reveal
1. I ran! 3 whole miles!!! I even sort of followed the rules my chiro gave me. I felt like I was hyper aware of what was going on with my body, which can be kind of depressing when you feel tons of little twinges and random pains. Thankfully, for the most part, my calf…
Surprising run + Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
Have you ever started a run convinced that it’s not going to go well? Ever had a body that is sending signals that it may not be up for the mileage you want? Have you ever just wished you’d taken up macrame instead of running? Have you ever wondered in January if you’ll be too…
Foodie Pen Pal Reveal

Happy Birthday to my little spook + Foodie Penpal Reveal
7 years ago, Shoo arrived two weeks early and super fast, showing us right from the start that he had his own agenda. Perhaps when I asked him to wait until after Boo at the Zoo, I should have specified that I meant more than a few hours. This year, he got an extra special…
Heading back to normal + Foodie PenPal reveal
I survived. What did I survive, you ask? Preparing for and presenting on social media at small conference this weekend. Other than some technological issues thanks to being a Mac user in a PC world, it went fine. In fact, I’d venture to say I did well, but we’ll see what the evaluations have to…
Good plans gone bad + June Foodie PenPal Reveal
Last night, as I desperately tried to finish some work for my client, the lights began to flicker. I knew there was a storm coming, but OMGoodness. I’ve been here for several hurricanes, but I’ve never seen winds like that arrive so fast, be so intense, and move out so quickly, leaving behind a path…
