DAY 15 OF 30. I really didn’t think I’d get to this point. I actually was pretty sure I’d have failed by now. But the last few pages of, “It Starts With Food,” really nailed this into my head: THIS IS NOT HARD. I’ve said, “This is so hard!” a few times these last 15 […]

Last Monday, I was officially discharged from my podiatrist. *CELEBRATE!!!* Over two years ago, I began having pain on the ball of my foot. [Photo 1] You can read more about my diagnosis here, but long story short, I’m not sure what caused it. It could have been: – Years of wearing heels. – A […]

Oh gosh, y’all. I’m so so afraid. Like, butterflies and random adrenaline shots to my fingertips. Back at the end of April, my mom and I committed to start the Whole30 together before we go to the beach this coming July. We’ve been reading It Starts With Food and are getting as ready as we can be […]

FEEL SAFE! NO PHOTOS OF MY FEET… For the next few days, I’ll be laid up on a couch, foot elevated and iced, watching various movies and “scooching” around the house for food and bathroom breaks workouts. Why? Well, yesterday was a big day. I mentioned in a blog post last year that I’d been […]

Well, I’m back guys! While a ton of you were vision casting, planning for next year, and shooting those Polar Vortex engagement sessions and weddings, I was on vacation in Maui and Kauai. And it was much needed! Today was the first time I opened my computer in over two weeks. It’s funny how fast things […]

**I will be back to blogging January 13, 2014.** Hey friends! It’s Christmas Eve! Anyway, I just wanted to start this blog post by putting out the important info. This whole year, I’ve worked hard with breaks here and there, and I decided that I wanted to take a short, but firm, guilt-free break from […]

Raise your hand if, to you, glasses represent “dumpy”? I know my hand goes up. For so long, glasses have represented weekends, rainy days, tired days, or days when going to put my contacts in seemed like such a daunting task. Because of insurance coverage, it makes it really hard for me to switch frames […]

Yesterday was a day that I’ll look back on for a while. Nothing really crazy happened. Except for that play at the end of the Redskins game… that was a little wacky. But in terms of our marriage, it was just a typical Sunday! We did two things – switched the outlets from beige to […]

Chad told me yesterday that it had been a month since we were in NYC. Shaking my head and smiling, I knew we were thinking the same thing. That trip will go down as one of our favorites. And honestly, for one particular reason. It was good for us. There are plenty of really great […]

It’s been SO LONG since I posted a personal post. Sometimes you just need some time to generate some material. I’m not sure if that’s a legitimate excuse for a real writer, but it’s mine! Anyway, I’m  camped out in the Acura dealership as I wait for my car to be serviced and I thought […]
