Happy Sunday!
I didn’t exactly have the most relaxing start to the day. Zoey ate about 15 miniature red velvet cupcakes off the counter on Friday morning (wrapper and all) so her tummy is still paying the price for those two minutes of glory. We were in the shower together at 8 a.m. cleaning up from an upset stomach. Without going into too much detail, let’s just say that while golden retriever feathers might be pretty to look at, they are not helpful when things are loose. Ahhhhh. It was definitely one of those non-glamorous dog mom moments.
I just looked into her sweet (and mischievous) little eyes, gave her a kiss and got to work.
Okay, I have a new Spotify Playlist to share today to help power you through all of your December workouts!
You’ll find 30 of my favorites from playlists that I’ve put together over the last month or so. These songs are great for running, power yoga and gym workouts! The playlist starts and ends slowly to help you warm up and cool down and builds in the middle to keep you motivated and energized.
Enjoy! And as always, I’d love to hear your current song recommendations.

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
