run a mile in my shoes | ENJOYing it

when i decided to start a small running goal (#runamileinmyshoes), i didn't anticipate the results. i had never taken on this kind of challenge. okay, so not never. i've always said i want to enjoy working out, i just never really did. i'd get on the treadmill after work but i was never satisfied. i was…

running a mile in my shoes

i am not a runner. i do not plan to become a runner. but i want to run. i want to run. running feels good. running does something wonderful to my body and soul. so i will run. i will run one mile a day. maybe more, but never less. i will run no matter…

summer activity banner

it's going to be a summer of doin' stuff. it just has to be. it doesn't have to be major trips or expensive activities. it's going to be little things. things we can just DO. nothing that requires a whole lot of planning...or a whole lot of money. i started a little list. things i…

backyard box

I like to keep things together. Whether it's in a pile, a cute tote or a bin, I like to be super organized. It doesn't always work out but I do try. This handy idea came to me a few years ago when we really started utilizing our backyard. I was constantly coming in and out of…
