31 Days to Find One Thousand Dollars

In one month, our Honda Odyssey was due for its state inspection. The good news is that it passed. The bad news is that all four tires should be replaced and rebalanced before winter. $700. The same month, our 13 year old dryer stopped working. Have you seen the price of new dryers? No thank […]

Training Update | Weeks 5 & 6 of 10 Weeks to a Half Marathon

My half-marathon training is going fairly well this fall. I don’t have the plantar fasciitis pain that I had in the spring when I was preparing for Pittsburgh and my legs actually feel stronger now that I’ve added some hill training to my routine. Thank goodness–I’ve been too busy this fall to be saddled down […]

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are my kids’ new favorite snack and I don’t have an ounce of guilt serving them cookies after school now. I found this recipe in an old Cooking Light magazine, but I altered it slightly by using honey instead of white sugar. These cookies are chewy and moist and are kind […]

Nothing Comes Between Me and My Calvins | Thrifting

I’m about to date myself, but I remember the hoopla that happened in the 80’s when a young Brooke Shields was hawking Calvin Klein jeans and said, “do you know what comes between me and my Calvins? nothing.”  The Calvin Klein blue jeans craze quickly ensued, but the jeans were completely out of my parent’s […]

Hill Training | Weeks 3 & 4 of 10 Weeks to a Half Marathon

In October, I’m running the Runners World Half Marathon and apparently, it’s a very hilly course. Yikes! My normal running routes are relatively flat with just a few inclines. I would like to maintain a sub-2 hour pace during this race, but its hills could slay me unless I start some hill training. This past […]

Hasselback Potatoes

Hasselback Potatoes. Have you heard of them? I hadn’t until recently when I was reading a current issue of Cooking Light magazine. The recipe sounded so easy and it was a new way to cook potatoes. My whole family enjoyed them and the kids thought they were fun to eat too. The combination of the […]

Barter Your Skills & Resources (and maybe get a FREE datenight!)

My husband and I had a date night last month. It wasn’t just any date night either–we went out for sushi and our kids had their first sleepover at their friends’ house. We were kids-free for about 18 hours which is a rarity with a 7 & a 5 year old. Date nights in the past […]
