If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed I was quite busy this weekend. Two weddings back in Nebraska, a rehearsal dinner (on the night of the first wedding..a lot of driving that night) AND we celebrated my brother’s 21st birthday. I’m glad I wrote this post up last week since I am…
WIAW #78: I Like to Make Food at Work
I’m working at a cafe now which is fun in that it gives me all of these ideas for things to make, but then again it’s torture to work with food when you are hungry. If you’ve ever worked in the food industry, you know that you might not get a chance to eat until…
Western Egg Casserole + Bonus Recipe
I am all about quick and easy meals…especially when they last a couple of days (hello leftovers!!). This western egg casserole was super satisfying, flavorful and made a great brinner as well as breakfasts throughout the week. This was not all that quick when Dave and I were making it, but that is likely because…
Kind of Freaking Out: Half Training Week 6 + 7
So I signed up for these runs. A half marathon in Des Moines that is coming up in about a month, then a 10 mile run that is coming up in about TWO weeks!! Oh yeah and for the 10 mile run I decided I would raise $500 for Girls on the Run since I…
Blogging 101: Living and Learning with Katie
Since I’m still trying to formulate my Healthy Living Summit recaps (here’s the jumble of my feelings or an un-recap of the weekend if you will as well as what I ate in Minneapolis here), and since I’m unexpectedly heading back to Omaha this weekend (!!!), I’m delighted that I have on of my best…
What I Ate in Minneapolis at #HLS13
I moved to the twin cities area three whole months ago! (Who else can’t believe it’s been that long?) This whole time I have yet to explore the Minneapolis food scene and I’m so excited I had the opportunity to try some new restaurants at the Healthy Living Summit this year! Check out my first…
A Healthy Living Summit Un-Recap
If you’re a blogger like me, you probably write posts in your head. They sound eloquent and informative; intriguing and entertaining. These posts written on the pages of our brain as we fall asleep or dawdle in the shower or while going for a run are so exciting we just can’t wait to actually get…
Blogging 101: Advice from Alex Tries it Out
I am likely running around furiously trying to make it look like I keep a clean place in anticipation of the arrival of my lovely blogging friends! One of the lovely friends arriving today happens to be Alex! I am so glad I met her (in real life…we were already friends via the internets) at…
WIAW #76 Farmer’s Market Fun + #HLS Excitement
I have SO MUCH to do to prepare for #HLS13 (Healthy Living Summit 2013), plus I already posted my thoughts on 9-11, but when preparing for a blogging conference, one can’t help but think about their blog!!Or am I the only one? [If you are attending your first blogging conference and are a bit nervous,…
9-11 Where Were You?
When tragic events occur, or when we are reminded of horrific event in the past by their anniversary, it’s hard to know what to say. Or what not to say. Do I bring it up? Can we talk about it? Will I look like I’m just trying to fit in like everyone else with their…
