January 7, 2015 { 9 comments }I have been so out of the regular blogging groove lately that it’s been almost two weeks since I’ve posted a weekly workout recap or a recent eats post.

Scenes from Girl’s Weekend in Asheville
November 17, 2013 { 21 comments }My girlfriends and I deserve a record for how much we packed into 24 hours in Asheville while still staying totally relaxed and in vacation mode.

Thanksgiving 2012
November 22, 2012 { 9 comments }I was really undecided about what to do for Thanksgiving this year. Part of me wanted to pretend like it wasn’t happening.

Random Cravings
February 8, 2012 { 44 comments }Good morning! I was up before the sun this morning to make sure I could fit in a blog update before I tackle my busy day. I love the quietness of early morning hours.

Comfort Food
March 31, 2011 { 15 comments }Well, before we get to comfort food I feel the need to address this crazy show I’m watching on TV, Mobbed. “Host Howie Mandel puts a hidden-camera spin on the “flash mob” concept.
