Yes on this week almost being over. It seems strange to me that I feel frazzled at times when we don’t have kids. But sometimes just working full time, running a house, taking care of fur kids, and maintaining fitness is a lot too. How sad is that? Work has been very consuming lately without […]
Better Pace for the Weekend List
My sister and I are still working on our crazy goal of 100 miles of races in 2017 which means four half marathons, a full marathon, and smaller races between. Yesterday we took on the Race for Justice Valentine Run which was just a 4-mile race, but a festive Valentine’s event with a fun mix […]
Wrapping up 2016
First I’m kind of addicted to these 2016 memes, can you relate? After trying to avoid the crap storm a negative news and social media. And not successfully doing it, ugh. There were disappointments for everyone this year. I like to see the ups and downs of 2016 as a reminder to focus on the […]
Thankful and Comfort Eats
It has been raining hard and windy all day today, Miko is not happy and refuses to even go into the backyard. He just wants to park it by the fireplace. Or bring me his toy for indoor playtime. That doesn’t sound too bad, wish I could have stayed indoors all day today! After this […]
Tough Miles for the Weekend List
Whoa, another weekend is flying by too fast. It’s been a productive and fun weekend so far that included more steamed spaghetti squash with hummus dressing and kale edamame salad. Spicy Thai cashew tofu stir fry. A deal shopping trip to Grocery Outlet. Miko enjoying a warm bed and blanket fresh out of the dryer. And […]
Hemp Ranch Dressing
I’m feeling better after a bumpy week. Thanks for the sweet well wishes on my dad, he is doing better and we’ll be making a trip to visit him later this week. So I may not get an opportunity to post again until the weekend. Smokey is not interested in drama, she is more interested […]
Miko’s Vet Visit & Rice Dishes
Sunday afternoon, Miko was not a happy camper. He burrowed into his blanket and was not feeling very social. By Sunday night, he was very antsy and restless and could not sit still while we were watching TV. He kept climbing all over us, went to back and forth to the other couch and just […]
Simple Meal Inspiration
It’s the simple pleasures in life for Miko, his day got a lot more comfy when he discovered the fresh and clean folded up comforter on the couch. I’m venturing out of my comfort zone pushing more miles and running workouts and a lot of the weekday workouts are on a treadmill at the gym. […]
Healthy Hacks
I am a bit out of it today, I had a long dental appointment yesterday I’ve been putting off for awhile to finally get old work re-done and having an achy mouth and not being able to enjoy certain foods since has made me a little cranky. But that’s temporary and I’m thankful to finally get […]
Creamy Garlic Comfort
I think these two are as ready for the long weekend as I am! The weather is supposed to be warm and perfect for sandals, long walks, hikes, and play time! And hopefully play time in the kitchen. For now I have another simple dressing recipe I created for a comforting and hearty kale salad […]
