As you may know, Mother's Day is just around the corner. Today, I have another in my series of activities for the family. I came up with a Mother's Day activity for you and your family. This activity was a bit of a challenge to come up with because I know most of my readers are women and mom's. I also know that, if you're like me, we aren't too likely to tell our family we are doing ... Read More about Activities for the Family {Mother’s Day}

Today, I'm sharing another of the recipes I found in my Grandma's recipe box. This is a Rice Krispie recipe.

10K and Run for Boston
This past weekend, I ran in a 10k. I joined a training team for this 10k. It was my first time to be a part of a training team. The training team was a fantastic experience. We were out training in 17 degree weather, snow, freezing rain, rain, and I think we had one sunny day! :-) Our coaches were there no matter what. It got me out there and running on a lot of Saturday's I would have ... Read More about 10K and Run for Boston

Real Fun Features #9
Welcome to this week's features. I had a whole different beginning to this post, but as a runner I had to change the opening to this post.

Having just finished my own race this weekend and ... Read More about Real Fun Features #9
