Is it me, or is this week just flying by? Maybe it’s the fact that today is my last day of work for the week. I wish I had something super fun planned on Friday for Madelyn and myself but I will be finishing up some painting in her new big girl room while she… Continue reading Escape Artist & My First 5k of the Year
On Sunday we celebrated Madelyn’s 2nd Birthday. I can’t believe how quickly these past two years have gone by. It makes me kind of sad that she is no longer the small, squishy, cuddly baby we brought home from the hospital. Although I miss the days of just rocking with her pressed up against my chest, it… Continue reading Look Who’s Two!
Happy Wednesday! We’re half-way through the week and HALFWAY THROUGH MARATHON TRAINING!!!!!!!!! I’m excited and scared all at the same time. October 12th can’t get here fast enough. So far, my training has been going okay. I’m trying my hardest to get my longer runs done with a local running group. On days when I… Continue reading Week 10 CM Training Recap

Hi friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know we sure did! We were super busy with lots of family stuff in Chicago on Saturday. Back in August, at Madelyn’s birthday party, my SIL asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I gladly accepted the offer and on Saturday we set… Continue reading Weekend Catch Up 10/28
Last Saturday (the 17th), we celebrated Madelyn’s 1 year birthday with family, friends and lots of food. Instead of trying to manuver Madelyn to sit still and smile with the 12 month sticker, we decided to have one year pictures taken with an old friend of mine from high school who has started her own photography business. We… Continue reading ONE.
This past Saturday, I logged half-marathon numero 4 in the books. After running this race, I’d say I’m right on track for my full in October. I felt great afterward-like I could’ve kept going and not at all like I was going to die (a feeling I have experienced before). I also earned my personal… Continue reading Zoom Zoom!
Late to the monthy update party yet again. To say we’ve been busy in the corner of this universe would be an understatement. Between being back to work, marathon training, gardening, planning birthday parties, and enjoying our summer I’m left with very little time for anything else. We’re coming up on our last month of her being considered a “baby”… Continue reading 11 Months-Teetering Along
Standing, waving, laughing, dancing her way into my heart every day. I often sit and wonder what my life was like before her. What did I do to fill my time? How have I lived this long without that smile? Long gone are the days were I could just put the monthly sticker on her… Continue reading Madelyn-8 Months Old
Here I am again…tardy to the {Madelyn’s Monthly update} party. Her 7 month B-Day fell on St. Pat’s day. We celebrated in Chi-tizzle with the in-laws. My MIL made corned beef & cabbage and Irish soda bread. Everything was pretty tasty, but I got some grief for not having Madelyn in anything green. Call me… Continue reading 7 months…Where’s my baby?
