Well hello there and happy Saturday to you. Did you know that here in Oregon we’re about 1/2 an inch away from beating the rainfall record for March in Portland? No bueno. I was hoping to actually get outside and do something active this weekend but that is not going to happen. So instead, we’re… Continue Reading

Womens’s Health + 90s on 9 = my Friday night
Yes, this is what I’m doing right now. Chris’ flight gets in at 6 and normally it only takes 20 minutes to get to the airport but today I gave myself an hour, thinking traffic at 5 on a Friday would be a mess. Apparently not. So now I have some time to kill (can… Continue Reading
Justin Bieber award?
Nope, sorry. Actually earlier this week, Sara and Julia, at Across country quilts gave me a Liebster award (and Liebster sounds like Bieber…so there you go). I had to do a little research on this since I’m new to this whole blog world. Turns out, Liebster is a German word meaning favorite, dearest or beloved. The… Continue Reading
Oh Home Depot I am not a fan (but I am a fan of my tasty green smoothie)
We had Home Depot install 3 new windows in our house about 3 years ago. We’d checked around, read reviews and felt pretty good about the whole process. Home Depot has always been our go-to spot so we had no reservations about them also doing our windows. On the day of the installation, 2 (Russian… Continue Reading

Today I wanted to change things up so I made a peanut butter, banana, spinach and carrot smoothie. Yes, carrot. I bought some organic shredded carrots (you read correctly, I… Continue Reading
Find something that makes you happy
The other day I was listening to a Jillian Michaels’ podcast (check them out, they’re free on iTunes) and she was talking about depression and ways to prevent it. Now, I’ve never had any issues with depression so that area is foreign territory to me but as she was listing off some things to help… Continue Reading
Better in a mason jar
Did you know I almost named this blog “Jars of Mason?” Yup, even had the URL and everything. See, I love mason jars. I know they’re pretty trendy right now but I’ve loved them forever. Seriously. I’m not just saying that so it looks like I’m not jumping on the vintage train bandwagon. I ate… Continue Reading
Reasons why Oregon is amazing
My brother and his girlfriend came down from Olympia this weekend to visit so we wanted to do something fun with them and decided to go snowshoeing. We lucked out with the most amazing weather! It was so freaking beautiful out. I just couldn’t believe it. It was one of those perfect days where it… Continue Reading
Friday (Fit) Faves
Happy Friday. I’ve already been to the gym once this morning for weights with Chris and then back this afternoon for Zumba. Love days when I get two workouts in! Tonight should be pretty low key. We’re doing spaghetti for dinner with Dan and Cassie and then my brother and his girlfriend are coming down… Continue Reading
