Happy Birthday TO ME! My birthday was this week, so I’m taking this moment to celebrate me on the blog 🙂 I was able to celebrate with the family last weekend – we went out to dinner, had a mini-staycation in a hotel, I got a manicure, and I got…

It’s always in January that I start to get tired of winter. We’ve been lucky to have a mild winter so far – our average snow fall is down! – but this week, almost each morning had something that made it difficult to run outside. Between heavy snow, melting snow/thus…

For those of you following along, you may recall that last week our family came down with COVID. Luckily it has been mild, and our quarantine is over! But, I’m still recovering. It has pretty much been like a cold, but as with any cold, it’s hard to breathe at…
