Happy 37th Birthday
Happy Birthday to our #1 guy! We celebrated with ice cream cake and presents. The boys got him gifts for bird watching and I told him I would be taking him on a parent-only surprise getaway weekend!
Making Homemade Donuts
We made homemade donuts this morning and every time I do, I think of a memory I have from childhood. My grandma would make donuts for my siblings and me when we would sleep over at my grandparent’s house. One time, my sisters and I told my Grandma, with big smiles and sugar on our…
Valentine’s Day
I started the morning helping at Connor’s preschool party. It was fun to get in the classroom and see how my son interacts with other kids in a setting I don’t usually get to be a part of. I think Connor enjoyed playing BINGO the most. These three cuties with some help from their Dad…

Chicago Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon
I decided to sign up for my second half marathon for 2013 shortly after I had signed up for my first one of the year, which was the Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville. There were good discounts for both races if you signed up early so I decided to go for it and signed…
