I understand the need for a good bargain — but when Lucas told me he planned to dominate the all-you-can-eat pancakes at The Old Spanish Sugar Mill in DeLeon Springs, Florida, I knew we might be in for trouble. The day started innocently enough…I went for a long bike ride, hoping to burn off some [...]

At this point, I think y’all know who wears the beer-drinking pants in the family (Lucas) and who wears the kombucha skirt (me). But we’ve just discovered a bar that fits both our needs. Only problem? It’s three hours away. But, since he’s a man that attends triathlons at 4am, indulges my vegetarian cooking, does [...]

This is going to be one of those posts — long, full of pictures, and maybe only interesting to me. But that’s the beauty of blogging … it helps capture a moment (or a week of moments) in time, making it easy to look back and reminisce. Lucas and I have just returned from a [...]

And I only ate ONE of them! Here’s the story… It was a beautifully sunny weekend in Florida…perfect for spending time outside. So, after spending the morning with Meghann and Kelly doing a lake swim/bike brick, I grabbed my dude and hit the road! Lucas and I decided to head down to the National Pie [...]

I spent an amazing 90 minutes at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore this past weekend, wrapping up my Fitbloggin’ adventure. And as I stood on the gorgeous spiral staircase, surrounded by artwork that dated back to ancient times, I felt a sense of peace… …knowing that before technology, social networking, fast food and more, [...]

We’re here! We arrived in Baltimore today, a few days ahead of Fitbloggin — sort of a combo birthday/anniversary trip (his birthday was February 22nd, mine March 17th and our wedding anniversary is April 8). The weather is go-hor-hor-hor-hor-geous! It’s actually warmer here than in Orlando! We love to travel, so the first thing we [...]

C’mon…the song’s in your head now, right? Well, put your Big Boi aside (THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID — I had to do it, and you’ll see why in a few moments), because in this case, the post title refers to the Social Fresh social media conference that I was lucky enough to dish out a [...]

A year ago, when I signed for the Walt Disney World half marathon, I did not officially consider myself a runner. I’d never competed in a race (triathlons, yes, but running events, no), I had only run about 8 miles as my PDR, and I was in awe of people that could actually complete a [...]

Take it from me — when your husband says: I’m planning a secret Saturday fun day. We need to leave at 7:30am. Wear sneakers and jeans and eat some breakfast before we go. Just nod your head and agree. I know, I know…fellow A Type personalities, it’s against my nature, too! But if you don’t [...]
