13 Year Blogiversary

November 16, 2022 | blogging

Wow. Yall, I have no words. I have been doing this for thirteen years. As I look back over the years, I can't help but laugh (and not just at how horrible those first posts were!) I went to college, didn't know what I wanted to do. Got a degree in Psychology because I figured, no matter what I do, ...

12 Year Blogiversary

November 29, 2021 | blogging

How did we get here? 12 years of blogging! My life looks so different than I thought it would. Starting a blog 12 years ago as basically a running training journal and turning it into a career has been a wild ride. It is still so weird when people ask me what I do for a living, I'm never quite sure ...

Every year this sneaks up on me! Bobby actually had to remind me this time. This week marks ELEVEN YEARS that I have been on this blogging journey. (If you go to the right sidebar and search "blogiversary" you can find my yearly posts!) When I think about how different my life would look ...

10 Year Blogiversary

November 20, 2019 | blogging

Wow. 10. whole. years. I truly and honestly cannot believe I made it this far. 10 years ago I was just a newbie runner looking for a way to track my long-distance running progress. I figured if I posted about my workouts and running updates, it would help hold me accountable. I ended up ...

9 Year Blogiversary

November 30, 2018 | blogging, fitness, motivation, running

Nine years ago, I started a blog. I had never done anything like this before, but my friend had just started one and convinced me to do it. I had just gotten into distance running and was training for my first half marathon. I had a theory, that if I blogged about my training, it would be a great ...

November 17, 2015 | blogging, Faith, family, running

Oh friends. I did it again. Every year it seems that this sneaks up on me. As of Sunday, I have been blogging for SIX year! Every year I go back and read that first post. I want to edit it SO badly but I leave it alone on purpose just to show how far I have come. If you have been reading for ...

Our favorite things about @thegroveresort Orlando. Our favorite things about @thegroveresort Orlando. ๐ŸŒด 

1.) The size of the rooms: We had a 2 bedroom unit and it was MASSIVE. So much floor space to spread out and it was amazing! 

2.) Washer and dryer: being able to wash clothes is a game changer for how I pack. So much less stress knowing I can just wash things if I need to.

3) The waterpark: Emma Kate would have been content to spend 3 days here and never leave. There is plenty to do and she had already made friends after the first hour! There are slides, games, a lazy River, a pool, and more. 

4.) The landscaping: We were super impressed with how lush and nice the flowers and trees were here. it really added beauty to the property and was a nice touch!

The weather is warming up, and I am so excited for The weather is warming up, and I am so excited for beautiful outdoor runs! #TeamNike I know running can seem intimidating if you are new at it, so I wanted to share three running tips with you so that you can lace up and reach your running goals!

1.) A good shoe is KEY! I am loving the all NEW @nikerunning Invincible running shoe. It's super supportive without feeling heavy, and I feel like I'm bouncing when I'm running! Very comfortable and how adorable is the pink color? 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a more supportive shoe.

2.) Keep track of your running journey either on your phone in the notes section, in an app (nike also has an app for that ;), or print out a training journal, or even use a basic blank notebook. After every run, write down things like the weather/temperature, how far you ran, what your time was, how you were feeling, and any other details you may want to look back on. It's fun to see later how far you have come!

3.) Make sure someone knows where you will be. For the sake of safety, you should always let a family member or friend know when you are going for a run, where you are running, and when you plan to be back. Send a quick text or leave a note on the kitchen counter, this is an important one!

Have fun! I'm about to lace up my new shoes and head out myself. Tap to Shop and Happy running!
(AD) Spring has sprung here in Tennessee, and I am (AD) Spring has sprung here in Tennessee, and I am loving seeing all the green grass and beautiful colorful flowers come to life again. ๐ŸŒธ 

Bobby and I love having a nice yard to enjoy, complete with flowers and some vegetables. Our daughter Emma Kate loves planting seeds and watching things grow, but that means a lot of work on the front end. Thankfully, there are so many options at @walmart to get your lawn and garden looking beautiful! 

We are ready to go with @pennington plant food, potting mix, Hummingbird & Butterfly Garden Wildflower seed mixture, a @flexonhose (50', and SUPER flexible!), and a @Betterhomesandgardens pot and saucer to get us started (knowing full well that I will be back at Walmart buying even more soon!) 
The seed mixture contains over 100,000 flower seeds, and the wildflowers provide a nectar source for hummingbirds and other pollinators. We love having birds in the yard, and our dog loves watching them out the window. The potting mix contains high quality ingredients, and can be used indoors or out. The beautiful white pot is lightweight so it's easy to move, has drainage holes in the bottom and the paint is fade resistant! 

You can buy all of these and more at Walmart to get your lawn and garden ready for spring. Click the link in my profile (click the above photo) to shop! 

Do you like to plant flowers in the spring? What is your favorite?
