Hi, hi!
I am currently parked at my favorite local bakery for what I like to call “power hour.” It’s a no distractions, hammer through the to-do list and get sh*t done mission…aided by a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and a soy cappuccino.
Short tangent. Sometimes I think to myself that I’m going to cut back on the amount of treats I eat…but then I decide it’s just not worth it. Life is too short and the joy I get from them is too great. So I’ll keep eating my cookies, chocolate and cupcakes and being happy! 🙂
Okay, I have a new playlist to share with you that I’m pretty obsessed with. It’s definitely one of the best I have put together recently.
And because I really, really love you and listen to you…I made a playlist on Spotify!
You should go listen to all of these songs but here are my absolute faves!
OMI – Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix)
Listen to this song and try not to dance. I don’t dance but this song makes me want to! 🙂
Foxes – Glorious
Love everything about this song and how it builds!
Ellie Goulding – Love Me Like You Do
We’ll ignore that this is on the 50 Shades of Grey Soundtrack and focus on how amazing Ellie Goulding is. Forever my fave! I rarely make a playlist without one of her songs.
And yes, you read right when you saw “Duncan Sheik” on the list. Throwback but so good! I heard “She Runs Away” on my Sirius XM radio a few weeks ago and had to bring it back to life.
What songs are you loving? Do you use Spotify?
And who is with me on keep eating the cookies!?

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 [...]

Advent calendars have become such a fun tradition for us during the holiday season. Finn really looks forward to his daily surprise and I love the huge array of calendars to choose from – for kids and adults! I let Finn pick out his advent calendar this year and I think I might treat myself [...]

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 [...]
