10K Tuesday – Weight Watchers

So I’ve basically started my 10K training all over again.  That’s the downfall of winter, sickness, kids, a busy life, (insert more excuses here), etc.  But I’m pushing forward and I’m back on the treadmill.  Like I stated before, I WILL complete the 10K…even if I have to walk it.  Completing this as a SoleMate

Pancake Predicament & Other Laughs

Dreary and cold Monday mornings call for a good laugh – is it really only 36 degrees??  So here are a few things to start your week in the right direction. One day last week during pick-up I grabbed Henry’s daily sheet and folded it in half and shoved it in his car seat up under

Flower Girl Accessories & A New Hair Bow Holder

10K Tuesday – Sesame Street Triathlon

10K training hit a low this past week.  No one felt good at the beginning of the week (we all have coughs and colds and lack of sleep going on at our house), I was trying to get the house prepared for the in-laws for the weekend, I was trying to get myself prepared for the

Tricia’s Time-Out Trip

I have a lot of great topics running around in my head, but have to wait until I return home to sort out what I’ll throw out there next…I’ve just been plain lazy lately…and my brain can’t think.  Could be the Malbec… You see, these past couple of days have definitely been a time-out for
