This week I might finally work out twice. Ha! I have been so laaaazy lately. I just can't seem to get motivated. I hate to blame everything on the dog, but he is a big part of the problem. I can't go to kickboxing unless my husband's schedule allows him to pick up the dog.… Continue reading The Struggle to Workout (#sol17 15/31)

Reading Lately (#SOL17 5/31)
I'm an avid reader. It's not uncommon for me to read five books on Thanksgiving vacation or a dozen in a month. But lately that is not the case. Today is March 5th and you know how many books I've read? Brace yourself... Zero. ZERO! Zilch. Nada. I can't even believe it! I'm so disappointed,… Continue reading Reading Lately (#SOL17 5/31)
Horse Soccer (#SOL17 4/31)
I have spent the day in Montgomery at the Alabama Horse Fair surrounded by horses, tack, food, horsey people, and puppies (basically all my favorite things). I've learned some things from clinicians like Stacy Westfall, watched the parade of breeds, and been entertained by trainers like Make Gascon on his fun horse Tito. If you're… Continue reading Horse Soccer (#SOL17 4/31)
3 Items to Pack for Sandals (and 3 to leave at home)
In 2013 my husband and I got married on a beach in Negril, Jamaica. Our eight days in paradise were spent at a Sandals resort. Prior to this trip, I had always eyed their cheesy commercials with mockery. But after only a couple days there, we were hooked. As a matter of fact, we… Continue reading 3 Items to Pack for Sandals (and 3 to leave at home)
Review of our Wedding at Sandals Negril
This is an old review from Trip Advisor (pre blog days) My husband and I just returned from our wedding at Sandals Negril and we absolutely loved it. The resort is very nice (although, as others have said, the rooms could use some updating—which I think they are scheduled for). We traveled with some family… Continue reading Review of our Wedding at Sandals Negril
Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26
Since we don't have kids, my husband and I both have a spare room to ourselves. His is full of dead animals and camo, while mine has two comfy reading chairs, book shelves, and a closet full of memories. Today I felt like remembering. When I opened the doors, I saw these: These are my… Continue reading Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26
The best birthday present #sol16 Day 12
When I was nine years old the Disney Channel was showing a lot of movies with one common element: horses. Like many nine-year-old girls, these beautiful, powerful animals caught my attention. From Dark Horse to Wild Hearts Can't be Broken, I was obsessed. I wanted to ride horses, read about horses, watch more movies about horses,… Continue reading The best birthday present #sol16 Day 12
NOT my event #sol16 Day 5
"TURN NOW! WHY DIDN'T YOU TURN? HURRY UP! FASTER!" Let me start by saying, I don't do well with yelling. I'm not from a family of yellers, I rarely raise my voice--even in excitement--and it kind of stresses me out when people are yelling. Even if it's not at me. And when it is at… Continue reading NOT my event #sol16 Day 5
Yoga Calendar for Lent
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent. I'm not Catholic (although most of my family are), but I like the idea of Lent. I like the idea of testing myself and setting a goal that (for whatever reason) I feel more motivated about sticking to. Last year I gave up social media.… Continue reading Yoga Calendar for Lent
Sandals La Toc Review
My husband and I recently returned from seven days in paradise. We relaxed in absolute bliss at Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia. This post is going to be a review but I will have one or two follow up posts with additional observations about our trip. The Resort: Gorgeous. I'm not sure how else… Continue reading Sandals La Toc Review
