Here it is, the first Friday favorites of sweet, sweet summertime. Few things say summer like watermelon. I got a jump on the season with watermelon themed fingernails. As always, this design was hand painted by Meghan at Color My Nails. And, of course, summer means weekends at Hawkes Landing, complete with little furry visitors….
Tomorrow is the official start of summer. With temperatures reaching triple digits here in Utah, it definitely feels like it! Knowing how time flies, and not wanting to reach the end of the season asking “Where did the summer go and why didn’t I do anything?,” I am joining a group of blogger buddies in…
Here is my week in review in a picture-a-day format, except for the one day I shockingly did not take a single photo. Anyway, for the rest of the week… Saturday I came home after Saturday’s 10K to this sweet note from our youngest grandchild. It was hidden under my notebook, so I would be…
Another race in the books—this time the Utah Valley 10K with my sister, Cindy. It was her first big race, so that made it extra special. I can’t wait to tell you all about it, so let’s get started. Friday afternoon, Cindy picked me up and we headed south to Provo (about 38 miles from…
It’s time for Friday Favorites, and I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors this week, which makes me a happy woman. Kudos to Mother Nature! I also have the winner of the getting-to-know-you drawing to announce and my final week of 10k training, so let’s get started. You all know by now how much I…
Should I stretch before or after running? Maybe both, or not at all? I hear that question a lot. I’ve asked it myself. Read the magazines or look online, and you’ll find a confusing mix of opinions, even among the experts. I am not one of those experts, and I don’t have a degree in…
This week was extra special, because my sweet mother in law turned 90 years old, and we had a party to celebrate. But first… I started the week with this beautiful Strawberry Blue Salad and chicken tortilla soup from Wingers. Followed by another great weekend at Hawkes Landing enjoying these spectacular views. This week also…
This week was fantastic from start to finish. Starting with my beautiful nails by Meghan (Tiramisu and Rose Glitter) and my new book. My sisters and I are reading this book together–an online book club! Saturday was the Girls on the Run 5K Celebration. It was so fantastic, I did a whole blog post about…
Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” — Marilyn Monroe This past Saturday was the annual Girls on the Run 5k celebration. The GOTR 5k is so much more than a race—it is truly a celebration of the girls—their strengths and accomplishments—and the people who love and support them. My…
Another week of good food, family time, and fickle Mother Nature. These are a few of my favorite things from this week. Starting with the first barbecue of the year. Thanks Larry! Spending Mother’s Day with some of the people I love most. And this lovely gift, hand-painted by Wren. (How appropriate that their photo…
