  1. The Race That’s Good For Life 5K Recap

    April 29, 2013 by Katie

    Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a pretty awesome weekend, lots of time with my friends, including a fun 5K! There may have also been some nut butter making thrown in there somewhere too…

    On Sunday morning, Lindsay, Kelsey and I headed out to Oak Park to run the Race That’s Good For Life 5K! The race is put on by the Oak Park Runners Club, which Erin is an active member of, so we had to come out and support her race! (By the way – Erin ran her MARATHON on Saturday and rocked it!!! Congrats Erin!!!).

    Anyone notice what shirt I’m wearing? After last week’s Thursday Thoughts and all your comments on how I needed to wear my animal shirts out in public, I thought I’d bring one out for the race!…

    Hey everyone! I hope you are all having good weeks, and remember the weekend is already here! I loved your comments on my What I (didn’t) Eat Wednesday post yesterday (yes, there are some grammar issues in that title). It was interesting to hear your perspectives! Today, however, is Thursday and you know what that means: THURSDAY THOUGHTS! I love Thursday Thoughts. Can you tell? Let’s get to it…

    1. Is this not the best computer background ever? Trust me, it is.

    2. Speaking of Molly, she is my brother’s TSA agent for packages. She must sniff every single bag/package/person that walks into their apartment. So far she has a perfect record….


  3. Then & Now

    Happy Friday everyone!

    I’m spending my morning with this pretty face:

    Aren’t I lucky?

    She even tried to help me with my post by sitting on my computer…

    She’s so thoughtful.

    Before I get into today’s topic, I just wanted to direct all of you to a great post by Kelsey about something she saw in Runners World. I have a love/hate relationship with Runners World – love the running info, dislike the constant weight loss undertone. Check out her post!

    So no, my “Then & Now”

    For most bloggers, a “then and now” post would show them at their heaviest, and then now at their fittest. My post… is a little different. Just over a year ago, I weighed about 20lbs LESS than I do now. Yes, you read that right. 20. Pounds. Less.

    Most people would hide in embarrassment, or never share such a number…

    Hey everyone!

    I hope you’re all having a good week! It’s been pretty snowy here in Chicago, and wearing rain boots every day is putting a damper on my clothing options… However, I LOVE the snow, so I’m a happy camper. I think it makes everything look like you’re in a different, magical world. Yes, I know I sound ridiculous. And with that, on to this week’s installment of Thursday Thoughts!

    1. I didn’t watch the Oscars (no TV) but I did see this video of an interview with Jennifer Lawrence after winning Best Actress and died laughing.

    2. I saw this tutorial on Pinterest for DIY “bride” shirts. You could use this for any kind of home-made shirt, like for a racing team or something! I’m just glad I actually read the whole tutorial, otherwise I wouldn’t have put the board in between the front and back of the shirt and ended up with a mess…

    Bonjour!

    Everyone excited that the weekend is almost here? For me it practically is the weekend since I just have once class tonight, but my hope is this week instead of just hanging around and doing very little work Thursday/Friday then trying to get all my work done Saturday/Sunday I’ll do the opposite… Just gotta kick my butt into gear today. Hopefully… Haha. Anyway, while I contemplate being super productive, you all can enjoy this week’s Thursday Thoughts!

    1. Molly wanted to show you all her new shark toy:

    2. I ordered my bridesmaid dress for my college BFF/sorority sister’s wedding in June and it made it all so real, she’s getting MARRIED! So…

    Hey everyone! Friday is a great day, so this week I thought I’d celebrate by sharing some of my favorite blog posts that I’ve read recently. I already mentioned two during my Thursday Thoughts yesterday, but there are so many more to share!

    When it comes to blogging, I love the great friends that I make and all the support and comments from my readers. I also looooove reading other blogs, that’s how I got started in the first place! Although my reader is jam packed, I still love finding new blogs that I feel like I can connect to, which is why I want to link up to some of my favorites today, so maybe YOU can find a new blog to read!

    My first form of blog love? I am participating in Meg’s High Five Friday this week! She is the sweetest most optimistic girl, I was so lucky to meet her at…
