Heyyyyyy! I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend like my pug friend, Ping! Saturday was a really nice day for me. It was a mix of fun and relaxation. I woke up, ate breakfast, and went to CrossFit (WOD: rowing + Thrusters = killer). On my way home from CrossFit, I hit up the grocery [...]

Hey there! I’m off to Annapolis for ZOOMA this morning. I’ll be away for approximately 30 hours, so I packed light and threw together everything in about 10 minutes, which is definitely a PR for me. Usually, it takes me days to pack for a trip. Included in my packing was all of my drugs [...]

A CNC reader recently contacted me about a non-profit where she works called An Achievable Dream. One of the organization’s fundraisers is called the Run for the Dream, which is an 8K and Half Marathon put on each Spring in Williamsburg, Virginia. The primary purpose of the race is to raise awareness and funding for [...]

Hi, friends! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! After breakfast, I went to the dentist for a 6-month check-up and cleaning. Thankfully, I have nothing exciting to report (no cavities! hooray!), but I probably need to get a new mouthguard in the next month or so because I ground a hole [...]

Right before I fell asleep last night, I told Murphy he needed to become a “baguette.” He was curled up like a “croissant” and hogging the bed. Mal was almost asleep, so he muttered something about Murphy being a “croissant” and rolled over. He wasn’t surprised at all that I used bread to describe the [...]

Last night, I got sucked into reading my own blog. You know, the “You May Also Like” images at the bottom of each post? Well, I clicked on one of them and started reading an old post. That post brought up a bunch of different “You May Also Like” posts, so I read another… and [...]

Murphy and I both agree that “Yappier Hour” at the Liberty Hotel was an awesome way to celebrate our birthdays. We both had a fantastic time last night! Over breakfast yesterday morning, Mal and I played 20 Questions to guess what he had planned for my birthday. When I got to question #19 and still [...]

Last night at CrossFit, before we started the WOD, I overheard a pretty hilarious conversation. If you like unintentional dirty humor like I do, you’ll get a kick out of it. In reference to plyo boxes: If your box is loose, let me know. In reference to a recently repaired plyo box: I screwed it [...]

I want to keep track of my favorites posts from the year, so here are my top 12 from January. Enjoy! How I Chose My Protein Powder I swear there are some mornings that my iced coffee tastes better than others. Today was one of those days. Holy yum! Cold, creamy goodness in a glass. [...]

Good morning! Happy Friday! This morning’s topic is the Brady Bunch, but FOOD first! (Boy, are they groovy!) Dinner Last night’s dinner inspiration was courtesy of Giada Laurentiis. I made her husband’s favorite Farfalle with Turkey Sausage, Peas and Mushrooms that she mentioned during our conversation last week. Giada said she makes this meal when [...]
