    Delish Cookies

    I feel as though there are very few things in life that I do better than most people…. and one of them is making my famous cookies. I guess using the word “famous” isn’t totally appropriate as I haven’t received any documented awards for them – but whenever I do make them, people go ca-razy…

    Gym Thoughts

    Its dangerous for me to be alone with my thoughts. I start to think about life, things I need to do, things I want to do…. things I don’t want to do :). I’m most frequently alone with my “thoughts” at the gym but when I’m there I’m usually doing one of two things: planning…

  • Mason Jars? Yes please.

    Source: raeslittlegarden.blogspot.com via Roxanne on Pinterest There is something about mason jars that just make me happy. I think its because they remind me of coastal homes, summer, and relaxation. I saw this post on Apartment Therapy last night and immediately pinned the picture to my Pinterest board. I’m not super creative, but I feel…

  • Sun! Finally!

    Sun! Finally!

     It feels as though its been raining in Boston / Philadelphia / Eastern Seaboard for an eternity. Seriously nature. Stop it. Then! Just as Baby Sister and I were drinking some coffee and planning the day, the sun broke through and it was clear as day. We poured ourselves some coffee in to-go cups, grabbed…

  • Bring it Gert

    Source: tumblr.com via Mo on Pinterest I saw recently that that NOAA has published the hurricane names for this coming hurricane season. I’m always intrigued by the names and the logic behind it. According to their website: Experience shows that the use of short, distinctive given names in written as well as spoken communications is…

    Berry-licious

        Source: give-me-summer.tumblr.com via Stephanie on Pinterest I’ve never been one to know what “season” it is. Despite my love of clementines, I’m always surprised when I see them in the grocery store. I get super pumped when I see those little wooden crates packed with clementines allegedly from Spain. {I’m super skeptical about…

    Things that are silly…

There is something just super attractive about just the right amount of facial hair on a guy. By facial hair, I mean stuff…

  • Happiness is….

  • Omaha!

    Omaha!

    Its been a slow process getting blog traffic from all 50 states. Thanks to a few good friends I’ve managed to snag some of the more difficult states (Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, etc). Until recently the only states that I was missing were Nebraska and South Dakota. Thanks to the eTrade baby I managed to snag…

    Freakishly Amazing

    I’ve been on the hunt for awhile for some new running tights/pants/whatever you want to call them. Workout clothes are obviously a sizable market and you’d think it would not be a challenge for me to find something I liked. Is it so much to ask for something knee length, not loose, no weird accent…
