"Celebrate what you want to see more of." – Tom Peters
One of my goals for 2017 is to have a weekly date night. Here are some of the things Aaron and I did together in January. 1. Take Cross Country Skiing Lessons {1.4.17}. REI offers a bunch of sports classes and some of them are free! We went to a cross country skiing informational session- [...]
Last year, I started following blogger Shay Shull and one of my favorite posts of hers was a link up party she did with two other bloggers called What's Up Wednesday. Once a month they share... And I thought it would be fun to join the club! Here's what's new with me: What I'm Eating I'm [...]
A lot of people were upset after the election. And rightfully so. I have no threat posed to me, so I cannot judge the fear and apprehension of people who Trump has spoken out against. People who fear being deported and fear racist actions will be committed against them because they are emboldened by the [...]
Since I spend the whole month of December listening to Christmas music, when January comes I'm in serious need of some new music. This month I discovered Spotify's "Daily Mix" which I love since it mixes my music by genres and suggests some new ones as well. Here's a list of what I'm listening to [...]

"Celebrate what you want to see more of." -Tom Peters As we embark on a new year, I wanted to take the time to look at the year past and record just one glimpse of joy, one awesome moment or memory from each month of 2016. Here's my list. January Fun winter date nights with Aaron [...]
Happy New Year! You may have noticed this, but 2016 was a CRAZY year. And often not in a good way. The hate-filled election, numerous police-related shootings, and terrorist attacks showed us that our country is not nearly as united, safe and progressive as we had hoped and believed. I believe 2017 is going to [...]
