Hello! The other day, I received the following question from a reader: How filled up does your Oats In a Jar get? I made it a while ago, but my oats barely made it 1/3 of the way up to jar. I found it so inconvenient that I ended up just pouring it back into [...]

One of the best perks about working from home is afternoon cuddle time with my favorite pug. How adorable is this dog?! Murphy often spends much of the day sitting in my lap while I work at my computer. I’m sure it’s terrible for my back, but he’s so darn cute, I just can’t say no. [...]

Hi, friends! I have a hot date with my couch and Parks and Rec in a little bit since it’s LITERALLY my favorite show on TV right now, so I’m going to whiz right through this post. Snack A few hours after breakfast, my stomach started to grumble, so I threw together a quick snack [...]

I don’t know what’s up with me, but I’m absolutely exhausted today. Maybe it’s the weather or my new workout routine that’s making me extra tired? All I know is that I needed to take a power nap to wake up this afternoon, which says something because I hate naps. I rarely ever nap because [...]

The weather has been gray and icky since I woke up this morning, but there was a ray of sunshine on my rainy day. (Just wait and see how cheesy my post title becomes!) Lunch Today’s lunch was split into two parts: savory and sweet. Savory = reheated homemade pizza with ground turkey and veggies. [...]

Major fail with the picture taking today. Check out the only photo that I snapped all day long: My lunch: peanut butter and banana on a whole wheat Sandwich Thin, carrot sticks, an apple, and H20. After breakfast, I had a dentist appointment and then drove straight to NuVal for a few hours. When I [...]

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen this tweet from me last Friday afternoon: I bought my foam roller a little over a year ago, and I have since used it incorrectly. Great job with that foam roller, Tina. As you probably remember, I spent last Friday and Saturday at a live workshop [...]

Hi, friends! Murphy and I just returned from a lovely walk around the neighborhood in the rain. Usually, I need to draggg Murphy outside into the rain for our walks, but he was fairly willing this afternoon. I guess he really needed to potty? (Murphy only likes water when it’s hot outside as seen here [...]

Good morning and happy Sunday! This morning, Mal offered to buy me breakfast, so I suggested a new diner (for us) called for Uncle Charlies. The vibe and food at Uncle Charlies were pretty standard of a diner in the area– homey, cozy, and a little old-fashioned. It was no Wheelhouse, but Mal and I were very [...]

Murphy seems to be adjusting quite well to his new home. Well, he sure has made himself comfortable! The first couple of days after we moved, Murphy acted a little weird, but probably because we weren’t paying much attention to him. We were too busy unpacking and organizing our lives! Here’s something that you might [...]
