I am constantly on the lookout for recipes that are quick, simple, and relatively low-calorie (not to mention delicious, duh). I’ve been trying out tons of new recipes lately, and almost all of them have just knocked our socks off (or at least made us loosen our belts so we could go back for seconds …
Colored Pants: Yes or No?
I have a dilemma, folks: To buy colored pants, or not to buy colored pants? I have seemingly seen colored pants cropping up everywhere, like on blogs and on Pinterest and all around our little ol’ town of Logan. I think I like the idea of them, and I’ve been toying around with the thought …
Book #5: Crossed
Title: Crossed Author: Ally Condie # of Pages: 367 Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Series I seem to be finishing the majority of my books at the plasma center lately…it must be because I have nothing else to distract me, like our laptop or Matt.

First, we had the freak snowstorm at the beginning of the week, which prevented me from going out for any kind of run until Wednesday. And then, when Mr. Winter finally decided to cut me a …
Motivation for Marathon Runners
Since I had some free time during prep today at the school, I decided to check out the Runner’s World website and read up on some marathon tips (which made me feel like I’ve been slacking way too much lately and need to get my butt into my running spandex, and stat!). While there, I …
Family Night, Bieber Style
This is what we do for family night when Matt has a pending haircut the next day: We turn him into Justin Bieber, of course. Then we laugh and take pictures and say how weird it’s going to be when he has short hair. But when all is said and done, he’s still the handsomest …
