I am so excited for this series! I enlisted the help of about a dozen bloggers whom I admire and love to share their tips, tricks and stories about blogging. I am also sharing things that I’ve learned the past three (eek!) years of blogging, mostly through trial and error. Here’s my first post: Blogging…
WIAW #74: Intuitive Eating- Stop Battling with “Bad” Foods
Last week was Dave’s birthday so, as he requested, we headed to Chili’s with a friend! I even got to wear my new “t-shirt dress” (my word…it’s comfy like a t-shirt) that I got on sale at Target. Seriously, go check out the end of the season sales going on at my favorite store. I…
Justin’s Nut Butter Raffle + Half Marathon Training Update
A couple of weeks ago I did a whole long, heart-felt post enlisting help to support Girls on the Run, a wonderful organization who’s mission is: “to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.” Well, I got a few thumbs-ups, but no gravy. Since…
A Visit to The Chive (a dose of snark in poem form)
I’ve been thinking about a way to write about this all week, and this is what I came up with. I’m sorry if you like the Chive, I too was a fan…until I actually went to the site. This girl will no longer “chive on.” A Visit to the Chive Adapted (sort of) from…

Monday Moves 8-12-13 Half Marathon Training Plan!! Week One
During my week off of blogging, I had a number of tasks on my to-do list. One of them was designing a training plan for the Des Moines half marathon coming up in October. I started training VERY early for my first marathon this year (think January for a May race date), so early that…
I am a Dork: Food Network Star Prediction
Oh my goodness I missed all of you this past week! I decided to take a week off from the personal blog to get into the groove of my new online writing job(s) and to get organized–which I’m happy to say I did use my time off wisely! More on that later, though.—-I am often…
Marvelous Week Off + Justin’s Winner
I’ve had a week off from house-wifish duties and I didn’t die of boredom OR flip out (too much) over having very little to do. This is a Marvelous accomplishment if you ask me! I had the opportunity to accompany Dave to Iowa for some trapshooting. Then we headed to my hometown in Nebraska for…
Blogging 101: Free, User-Friendly Tools to Make Your Blog More Awesome
Recently I’ve been making little improvements to my blog because I’ve had a wee bit more time. Things like updating my header, adding social media buttons, creating a new blog button, rearranging the layout, adding advertising, changing the font and background. So just a couple of things….that probably took longer than they needed to because…
