The title pretty much sums up my weekend. Seriously. My dad came into town Friday night and we watched a little bball and had a little pizza. And then, because I have a crazy sweet tooth which was inherited from my dad, convinced him we needed treats. Normally our thing is Dairy Queen – Blizzards… Continue Reading

Smooth sailing
I’m back! I got home from Scottsdale Friday night and have been enjoying a relaxing weekend ever since. It feels so nice. For the first time in weeks I don’t have a trip looming in front of me, a forecast to enter, a meeting to prep for, a person to hire or a presentation to… Continue Reading
2 October Challenges, family visits + I can’t stop eating M&Ms
Couple things to talk about today…the most interesting might be that I physically cannot stop eating M&Ms. Like seriously impossible. My mom gave me a bag of the minis which she said we were suppose to save and give out as Halloween Candy (um, have you met me and my sweet tooth) and I wasn’t… Continue Reading
Watermelon infused water + our dinners for the week
If there is such a thing as “hot spinning,” I’m pretty sure I did it. I hopped on our spin bike around 5pm and rode for 45 minutes in what felt nearly identical to a sauna. Sweat-y. It was in the 90′s today and we don’t have air conditioning so the ceiling fan and an… Continue Reading
1st weekend of summer
Summer finally arrived in Portland…just like always, after the 4th of July. And I’ve had a great time enjoying every moment of it. I drank lots of water for the #hydrateinjuly challenge. Enjoyed dinner downtown at Santa Fe with some friends and while we were there, watched the line at Salt & Straw (ice cream… Continue Reading
Sunday iPhone photo dump
I just spent waaaaay too much time online researching DSLR camera bags (like the whole afternoon) but I finally bit the bullet and bought what I hope turns out to be a beautiful lady. Once she arrives I’ll tell you more about her :) In the meantime, here’s a recap of the past 24-48 hours.… Continue Reading
Making homemade peanut butter
So recently I’ve become obsessed with Bee-Nut butter. I picked some up last Saturday and the jar is almost gone and that made me sad. I was going to pick some up yesterday but it’s almost $7 a jar and I got to thinking…the only ingredients are peanuts, honey and sea salt…it couldn’t possibly be… Continue Reading
Rain is a good thing
That was what I woke up to Saturday morning. In case you can’t figure it out, that’s rain. Pouring down onto our tent. And that’s the same type of rain that greeted us upon our arrival at the campsite and the type of weather we had to deal with when setting up our tent. Not… Continue Reading
Sunday Night Dinner…Texas Style
Have I ever really explained how much I love country? And not just country music. I’m saying give me 5+ acres, a big red barn, a ton of chickens, a watering hole down the street where I can spend my weekends doing the two-step in my cowboy boots, enough of a garden to serve farm… Continue Reading
Friends in low places
Happy Sunday. Although can you really call the last day of your weekend and the day before you have to go back to work happy? I’ve been a complete bum today and really need to do something productive… A trip to the grocery story and a long walk with the Chance dog are definitely in… Continue Reading
