I got to go back to Nebraska a couple of weeks ago like I talked about in my Thin Mint Cookie Pie post! I feel like we go back a lot..maybe a lot more than most people who live away from home do. I think both Dave and I miss our family a whole lot and can’t wait to move back. I wanted to share a little recap to a. show you all my yummy eats, b. show you some Valas Pumpkin Patch (and cute nephew) pictures and lastly c. brag about my run.

The Happy Things Series
I’m totally fine with sharing the struggles that go on in my life or having a negative opinion on something. I think that is necessary to having a genuine blog. Some things in life are good and some are bad, right?
The thing is, I don’t want my little space on the internet to be a total downer. There is so much in life to be happy about and I want to start high lighting those things every once in awhile. I know it benefits me to look on the positive side of things and hopefully it will remind you of the happy things in your life as well!
Eating and Staying Active Back Home in Nebraska
We made it back to Nebraska this past weekend! There was much eating, drinking and laughing and I even managed to stay active!
Foodie Finds in Des Moines
A small group of bloggers decided that since the Healthy Living Summit got cancelled, we should still get together. It’s weird to think about if you don’t have internet friends (or blends..blog + friend = blend), but these gals are some of my closest friends. We met due to common interests and our personalities seem to meld really well. Plus we all love food and fitness. Thus the zillion food/drink stops AND a little dose of active fun.
Mud Running and Delicious restaurants in Chicago
I had a blast visiting friends and eating at a variety of delicious restaurants in Chicago. Check em out!
Decadent S’Mores Recipes
I do love me some s’mores! Usually s’mores are put together with a roasted mallow (over a campfire of course) and chocolate sandwiched between two grahams. (Sandlot, anyone?)
The three s’mores recipes to come all have a slight twist on the classic recipe. Don’t miss out. Makes these ASAP!
Weekend Treats, Trying New Things + Blog Traffic
Blog traffic tends to decline in the summer months because we are all out having fun! I myself had a blast treating myself this weekend!
Food as Fuel + ENERGYbits Giveaway
We need to remember that in addition to being able to enjoy food, it is also fuel. one of the ways I’ve fueled my body lately is with ENERGYbits.
Crashed Ice + Fun Things Jar
After a fun-filled weekend including attending Crashed Ice 2014 in St Paul, I added a few items to my fun things jar. Read more here!

We had a great date night at Mall of America where we saw a movie, dined and even bought ourselves some new footwear. See the details about where we went and how we liked it!
