Buenas Dias! —-Written last week, but never posted due to the lack of time—- Happy FRIDAY! Yesterday was another bright and early day, which began with bread, pb & jelly, and bread with butter, and really delicious hot cocoa. Since it was a holiday, I had the entire day off, so I used the extra […]
Peru Day 4 & 5: My 1st and 2nd Day at Placement & (Failed) Salsa.
The following was written yesterday, but not posted: Phew, Tuesday was a looooooooooooooo…..oooooooong day! I was asleep within seconds last night and I´m still only half awake. And the coffee is watered down blah coffee #thestruggleisreal. Spanish class went well again yesterday and I was only half as starving as I had been the day […]
Peru: Day 3 & 4. Selfie City.
Hola! So where did we leave off? Right, I was about to go to my first Spanish class… Spanish class went really well. I have class 2 hours every day, but I only signed up for one week so I could test the waters. So far, so good. And I like it because it doesn´t […]
The Beginning of the Adventure. Peru Day 1-3.

Punta Cana Recap.
Hi Everyone! ***Be warned- I wrote SO MUCH! So last week, I beat around the bush and told ya’ll that I would be away, but I didn’t say where. As the title suggests, I was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with Russy. I didn’t say where I was going because I never really talk about […]
Fitness Friday 5/30/14 and Leavin’ on a Jetplane
Hi there! I hope your week as flown by as fast (or faster) as it has for me! Friday, already?! I’ll take it! It’s been a great week in terms of workouts, especially because I’ve been spending so much extra time at the gym… (more on that to come soon). In the meantime, let’s get […]
Memorial Day Weekend Through the Lens
Hi Friends! I hope you had a super picnic-beach-BBQ-beer-and most importantly–thanking our current and former troops-WEEKEND! I didn’t leave the house one time (except for a couple of runs), and it was great! I stayed around here, hanging out with the fam, making good use of the grill, and some friends even came to hang […]
Fitness Friday: Memorial Day Weekend
Good Afternoon, friends! I hope you have grand plans for grilled food, pools (?!?), and friends and family! We don’t exactly have much planned (as in, we have nothing planned), but I know there will be some grillin’! If you can squeeze in 30 minutes between the burgers and brats, there is a quick running […]
Super Produce Prep.
I never thought I would see the day that I say: “One thing I miss about Lawrence (the school dining hall)”…is the salad bar! We are a big veggie eating family, which means we often have a lot of fresh produce on hand, but it also means that we go through it quickly and someone […]
